Episode Details

In Concord, manufactured homes are skyrocketing in value—Frank Fucci’s jumped 122% to over $230K, while citywide averages rose 105%, far outpacing single-family homes. For aging residents like Frank and Susan, who moved from Florida seeking affordable housing, the sudden spike makes their budget-strapped situation even tighter. Compounding the issue: they still pay land rent on top of property taxes. New Hampshire treats these homes as real estate, not personal property, allowing them to appreciate—unlike in many other states. Amid a housing crunch and big-city spending on projects like a new police station and golf clubhouse, this trend is spreading across towns like Rochester and Exeter, revealing how classification, demand, and economics collide in the housing market.
