Ranking Nashua's Three Zip Areas on One Number: How Many Homes Actually Sold

Start at the bottom, because it's the sharpest move in the whole dataset. In Nashua, homes sold fell about 49% compared with a year earlier. That's the steepest drop of the three, and it's not a rounding error or a soft dip. A year ago this same twelve-week window saw 68 homes close in that part of Nashua; this period, 35 did.

Second from the bottom, still in negative territory but nowhere near as severe: in Nashua, homes sold fell about 19% compared with a year earlier. A year ago, 74 homes closed in that stretch; this period, 60 did. That's a real slowdown, but a much gentler one than its neighbor's.

Now the surprise, and the reason this ranking is worth reading in the first place. In Nashua, homes sold rose about 7% compared with a year earlier. While the other two markets pulled back hard, this one didn't just hold steady, it grew. A year ago, 119 homes sold there in the same window; this period, 127 did.

That's the tension worth sitting with. Three markets that share a name, a mailing address, and a lot of the same buyer pool moved in almost opposite directions on the single most basic measure of activity: how many homes actually closed. One area absorbed nearly half its usual volume. Another held on. A third grew.

It's worth being careful about what this ranking does and doesn't tell you. It's a count of closings, not a verdict on value or demand strength going forward. A drop in homes sold can mean fewer buyers showed up, or it can mean fewer sellers listed there in the first place, or some mix of both, and this data doesn't separate those threads. What it does tell you is where the transaction activity actually happened this period, and where it didn't.

For anyone with a home in the hardest-hit market, this is worth understanding before assuming the worst about your own sale prospects. Volume falling sharply doesn't necessarily mean your home won't sell, but it does mean you're competing in a thinner pool of recent comparable closings, which matters for how you and any agent think about pricing and timeline. For anyone watching the market that grew, it's a reminder that not every part of a shared name behaves the same way, and treating "Nashua" as one market can hide real differences underneath.

What to watch next: whether the market that pulled back keeps sliding or steadies out, and whether the one that grew keeps that pace or was simply catching up from a slower year-ago stretch. Either answer will tell us more about what's actually happening here than this period alone can.

This data comes from MLS sold data across Nashua's three areas for the twelve weeks ending August 30, 2026, compared with the same twelve-week window a year earlier.
