The Boston area is unique, good job market high paying jobs and a staggeringly strong real estate market. Most purchases are great investments. I see the tiny houses for $600,000 my friends kids are buying and scratch my head, but they’ll never lose money on them.
Prices of houses here in southern NH have continued to climb because there is almost nothing available to purchase. Plus nothing being built. Almost zero new construction.
What we need is more retirement style housing developments. Fifty and over smaller homes/free standing condos.
That and multi family apartment buildings.
Rent is very high around here. They could easily another several hundred apartments right here in south central NH.
