Year to date, 65 single-family homes have sold across the Sunapee Region. This is lower than the same period in 2025, when 93 homes had sold, and 2024, with 80 sales, and closer to 2023, which saw 63 sales. Take a look at the full list of single-family home sales.

As of April 6, there were 58 single-family homes actively listed for sale in the Sunapee Region. Inventory typically begins to increase more noticeably in April and May, and based on the number of value conversations we are having with homeowners over the past month, we do anticipate an increase in homes for sales in the next few weeks.
KEY TIPS FOR BUYING OR SELLING IN TODAY’S MARKET
For Buyers:
As we move into the spring market, open house activity has started to increase across the Sunapee Region. Touring properties can be a helpful way to better understand what is available and refine your criteria as you continue your search.
Seeing homes in person often helps clarify your must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal breakers, especially as new inventory comes on the market. If you are actively searching, it can be helpful to keep an eye on upcoming open houses and check back frequently, as new opportunities are often added later in the week. You can view the latest schedule here: Sunapee Region Open Houses.
For those who would like a more structured overview of the home buying process, we are hosting a Home Buyers Workshop on April 23 at Tracy Memorial Library in New London, where we walk through each step and answer questions along the way. Learn more and register here.
For Sellers:
First impressions of your home often start outside, making exterior upkeep and entry areas especially important.
A few areas to focus on this spring include clearing winter debris from the yard, making sure walkways and driveways are clean and accessible, and paying attention to your front entrance. Simple updates such as cleaning windows, repairing torn screens, and preparing decks or patios with outdoor furniture can also help buyers better understand how the home can be used. For a more detailed checklist, you can also reference our post on spring cleaning tips and local resources.
For homeowners who would like guidance on how to prepare, we will be hosting a Spring Home Prep, Staging, and Selling Workshop at Tracy Memorial Library in New London on Thursday, April 16, where we walk through practical steps for getting your home ready for the market.
