October showed a bit of a slow down in the Franklin county housing market with numbers down slightly over the same time last year, and down a bit more over the September numbers. The average price of all homes to sell in the county sat at $178,228, down 2.06% over the same time last year. When looking at just detached homes, the average was at $185,107, down 2.4% over the same time last year. The biggest number is 722. That’s the number of active listings on the market in October and that represents a 15% DECLINE over last year. When looking more closely at the number of homes on the market and subtracting out new construction and homes not yet in the ground, the number is closer to 600!! If you are considering selling, it is not too soon to start talking. The winter is often a good time to sell, especially with less competition. As always, contact me if you’d like to know the value of your home.
