New Hampshire Real Estate Overview
New Hampshire traditionally uses attorney closings with comprehensive seller disclosure requirements. The state offers no state income or sales tax, attracting buyers from high-tax states.
Federal Compliance Checklist
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
State-Level Rules Sellers Must Follow
Property Disclosure Form (Required Topics)
New Hampshire law (NH Rev. Stat. §477:4-d) requires sellers of residential property to disclose certain conditions of the property to buyers prior to or during preparation of a purchase contract. Specifically, New Hampshire law mandates written disclosure of: the water supply (source, malfunctions, quantity, quality issues), the private sewage disposal system (type, location, malfunctions), the insulation type and location, and any known hazardous waste on the property. These items are often referred to as the **Water, Septic, Insulation, Hazardous Waste** disclosures. In practice, sellers satisfy this by completing a multi-page Property Disclosure form covering these and other material defects. While NH doesn’t require a comprehensive form by statute beyond those items, it’s customary and expected. Additionally, sellers must inform buyers about any **lead paint** (federal law) and as of 2024 must provide a **flood risk notice** if the property is in a federally designated floodplain or has experienced flood damage (per a new law). New Hampshire is generally a caveat emptor state aside from these required disclosures, but sellers can be liable for misrepresentation if they conceal defects.
County & City Considerations
Local Requirements
New Hampshire does not have additional city-level disclosure forms. Sellers statewide use the same approach. Some municipalities might require a smoke detector inspection before closing, but that’s not a disclosure to buyer. The state’s required disclosures (water, septic, etc.) ensure buyers get key info regardless of town. (One local note: properties on certain lakes must include disclosure of shoreland permitting issues if any, but that would usually be part of the seller’s standard disclosure form anyway.)
Seller Disclosure Requirements
What sellers must disclose in New Hampshire:
- New Hampshire RSA 477:4-c requires seller disclosure
- Property condition disclosure form mandated
- Known material defects must be disclosed
- Lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 homes
- Well water and septic system disclosure where applicable
MLS Rules & Listing Logistics
MLS Rules
New Hampshire properties typically list on NEREN (New England Real Estate Network MLS). A listing agreement is required. NEREN enforces Clear Cooperation for any public advertising. MLS rules require at least one photo on residential listings. New Hampshire agents nearly always attach the seller’s disclosure form to the MLS listing for other agents. Also, because of NH’s focus on water/septic, the MLS has fields for sewer (public vs private) and water (well vs public) and those must be filled accurately, consistent with the seller’s disclosure. If a seller chooses 'no representation' on some items (which NH allows), the MLS remarks may note "seller has not lived at property and makes no representation to X." But outright refusing to disclose water, septic, etc. would violate the law. MLS guidelines also caution agents not to include owner’s personal security measures or video surveillance details in public remarks for safety and privacy.
How Much Equity You Keep on a $475,000 Sale
Every seller sees the math before launch. We assume a $14,250 buyer-agent incentive (3%) across all options so you can compare apples-to-apples with “flat fee” services that tack on a percentage at closing.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meydomo Flat-Fee MLS1 | $199 | $999 | $1,198 | $14,250 | $15,448 | $13,052 |
| Housecoin “Flat Fee”2 | $0 | $4,750 | $4,750 | $14,250 | $19,000 | $9,500 |
