Market Analysis: 03045 Goffstown

ZIP 03045 in Goffstown, NH carries a significant set of headwinds. Home values near $520K and rents of $1,866/mo sit inside a market where underwriting has to be tight.

The investment case in 03045 is healthy only for operators who understand what they are buying. A $520K median suggests accessibility, but management intensity, vacancy drift, and capex surprises are real.

Turning to rents, 03045 offers a low basis, the region around Goffstown has moved on in ways that the ZIP itself has not fully absorbed. The result is a discount with genuine reasons.

From a cash-flow lens, 14,013 residents fill the ZIP, renter turnover runs higher than neighboring postal codes and delinquency risk is a real line item rather than a theoretical one.

Strategically, 03045 can be a high-return sleeve of a diversified portfolio — but it should not be the whole portfolio, and it should not be someone's first deal.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 2.8%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (2.8%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
