Real Estate Corner: Room to grow
Every month I review the latest local numbers, and this month’s snapshot is worth a closer look. Ashland home sales are up to 105 this year, compared to 98 at this point last year. Our active inventory grew from 116 listings to 128, a 10.3% increase that finally gives buyers a bit more to choose from. Median price held mostly steady at $515,000, down just 3.2% from last year, with homes moving in 23 days, a market that’s found its footing.
