The median price for single-family homes sold in Strafford County in October was $530,000, an increase from $519,999 in September.

However, the market sustained large losses on Nov. 5. There were 24 Strafford County homes total sold in October in the $500,000-549,999 and $600,000-649,999 price ranges, according to a report provided by Dean.

Dover finds new site for temporary warming center, with cots

DOVER — City officials announced the Veterans Building at 156 Back River Road will be used as a temporary emergency cold-weather warming center starting Nov. 15, instead of the McConnell Center cafeteria , and it will have cots for sleeping. The McConnell Center had been previously announced as the temporary site because of construction delays for the new Strafford County warming center , which is being built on County Farm Road. The new center won't be ready for the start of the 2026-27 season, which runs mid-November to mid-April. Dover officials previously said the McConnell Center cafeteria would not have offered beds or cots, only chairs, and members of the homeless population using that site would have to leave by 7 a.m. due to other operations in the building, which includes city and school offices and a daycare. The city-owned Veterans Building has room for cots, city officials announced. Strafford County’s contracted warming center operator, East Coast Evolution Leadership, will run the center at this location and the new center, when it opens. Officials stated the warming center is opened based on weather, as determined by the emergency management directors of Dover, Rochester and Somersworth, when extreme or severe weather

New Hampshire faces a housing shortage of 60,000-90,000 units by the early 2030s. Existing-home inventory often sits near two months of supply — roughly 60-70% below the five-to-six-month level considered balanced. At the same time, the cost to build has become a major barrier. Land, materials, labor, site work, permitting, and infrastructure have all risen, turning projects that worked a decade ago into difficult math today.
