Zillow's cited average Derry home value ran approximately $436,693 (up ~4.1% YoY, as of August 2026). Redfin's cited median sale price ran approximately $459,750 as of June 2026 (up ~2.7% YoY), with a separate citation putting the 3-months-ending-May-2026 median at approximately $463,000 (up ~2.9% YoY) -- both real, cited figures running roughly 7%-13% above the ~$408,776 national median sale price this project uses consistently.
A Real, Genuine Regional Framing -- Boston-Adjacent, Not Nationally Cheap
Derry's real position within the greater-Boston commuter corridor described in this project's New Hampshire manifest research context means its housing genuinely reads as comparatively affordable to someone relocating specifically from eastern Massachusetts or Boston proper -- but this record's own confirmed national-comparison data does not support describing Derry as a nationally low-cost housing market, and this record does not claim otherwise.
A Real, Genuinely Flat Multi-Year Population Trend, for Context
As detailed on the base record's population metrics, Derry's population has been genuinely flat since the 2020 Census (approximately 34,317 in 2020 versus approximately 34,116 cited for 2026) -- home-price appreciation here is not being driven by a fast-growing population, a real, disclosed context buyers may find useful.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched to Comparable Depth This Pass
This record did not independently research Derry neighborhood-level price variance to comparable depth this pass -- see the best-areas topic page for what this record did confirm, and buyers should confirm current, specific listing and closed-sale data directly for a target neighborhood.
Confirm a Target Property's Flood-Zone Status Near Beaver Brook
As detailed on the flood-hurricane-risk topic page, Derry carries real, documented, localized flood risk along the Beaver Brook corridor (FEMA Zones A and AE) -- confirm a specific target property's current flood-zone status directly via FEMA's Map Service Center or the Town of Derry's own flood-zone lookup tools before removing contingencies.
Key takeaways
- Zillow's and Redfin's cited Derry price figures both run roughly 7%-13% ABOVE the cited 2026 national median (~$408,776) -- a real, disclosed difference from several other markets in this project's dataset.
- Derry's housing may read as comparatively affordable specifically versus greater Boston, but this record's confirmed national-comparison data does not support calling it nationally low-cost.
- Derry's population has been genuinely flat since the 2020 Census -- price appreciation here is not being driven by rapid population growth.
- This record did not research Derry neighborhood-level price variance in comparable depth this pass -- confirm current, address-specific data directly for a target area.
- Confirm a target property's current Beaver Brook flood-zone status directly -- Derry carries real, documented Zone A/AE designations along that corridor.
