Commercial loan landscape in New Hampshire (high-level snapshot)

New Hampshire’s commercial lending market is stable, conservative, and relationship-driven. Capital is available primarily through community and regional banks, with underwriting focused on cash-flow stability, borrower strength, and local market fundamentals. Lenders favor straightforward, well-supported deals over aggressive growth or speculative strategies.

What lenders are most comfortable financing

Owner-occupied properties are among the most lender-friendly transactions in New Hampshire, particularly when backed by established professional, medical, or service businesses with consistent operating history.

Industrial and flex properties tied to manufacturing, distribution, and regional supply chains tend to underwrite well, especially in southern New Hampshire and along major transportation routes.

Stabilized multifamily can obtain financing when occupancy and collections are solid, with workforce and mid-market housing typically favored.

Essential retail and service properties (medical offices, grocery-adjacent centers, professional services) are viewed favorably due to steady local demand.

Where underwriting gets tougher

Office properties are underwritten cautiously, especially older buildings or assets without strong long-term tenancy.

Value-add and transitional deals face tighter leverage and higher equity requirements, particularly when reliant on aggressive lease-up or rent growth assumptions.

Hospitality can be financeable but conservative underwriting applies due to seasonality and exposure to tourism.

Market-by-market dynamics (how lenders tend to think)

Southern New Hampshire: The most lender-active region due to proximity to Boston, with strong appetite for industrial, owner-occupied, and stabilized multifamily assets.

Seacoast region: Financing is selective, with lenders closely reviewing insurance, operating costs, and seasonal demand.

Central and northern markets: Lending is more relationship-driven, with conservative leverage and focus on essential-use properties.

Who is lending in New Hampshire (and what that means for terms)

Community and regional banks dominate commercial lending. Relationships, deposits, and borrower reputation play a major role in approvals.

Credit unions can be competitive for owner-occupied and smaller-balance loans.

National and institutional lenders participate selectively, usually for larger, stabilized assets in primary markets.

Key underwriting themes unique to New Hampshire

Market size and liquidity are central underwriting considerations.

Expense realism, including heating, maintenance, and insurance, is stressed in lender models.

Sponsor experience and liquidity often matter as much as property-level metrics.

What “good” looks like to a New Hampshire lender right now

A strong New Hampshire loan request typically includes conservative leverage, stable historical NOI, experienced sponsorship, and a straightforward business plan.

Deals built on aggressive assumptions or rapid repositioning strategies tend to struggle.

Bottom line

New Hampshire is a capital-available but conservative lending market. Owner-occupied, stabilized multifamily, industrial, and essential-use properties offer the clearest paths to financing, while office, hospitality, and transitional projects face tighter underwriting.
