Estimates only, not a pre-qualification, loan offer or commitment to lend. Figures don't include mortgage insurance or HOA dues, which can lower them. Tax rates are 2025 rates from the NH DRA; new rates come out each fall, and your bill depends on the assessed value. Your actual rate, payment and price range depend on your credit, income, debts, loan program and property.

Why the price changes with the town
Your monthly housing payment usually includes property tax, held in escrow with your loan payment. NH towns quote the tax per $1,000 of assessed value. Where the rate is higher, more of each month's payment goes to tax and less is left for the loan, so the price that fits your budget is lower.
This tool uses the same math as the payment calculator, worked backward from the payment to the price. The property tax guide explains rates, assessments and escrow.
- Your tax bill depends on the assessed value, which can differ from the price you pay.
- Mortgage insurance, HOA or condo dues and utilities aren't included.
- Each town page has more on the towns Tom serves.
- For a price range based on your income and debts, use the affordability calculator.
