CONCORD —  New Hampshire’s housing production reached its highest annual level in nearly two decades, according to the Department of Business and Economic Affairs’ latest report on the state’s housing supply and permitting trends.

BEA’s annual Current Estimates and Trends in New Hampshire’s Housing Supply reports that municipalities issued building permits in 2024 for the construction of 5,822 housing units, which is the highest total since 2005. Assuming all permitted units were built in 2025, the state has added 25,688 housing units since 2020, as cited in this year’s report for BEA.
