How’s the real estate market? Real estate sales in Clinton County have remained strong and are up 2.4% year-to-date over 2018. As we forecasted, homes that are priced competitively are selling quicker and for more money than they did a year ago; the average sale price is up over 5% — to almost $161,000 — year-to-date. While a slight cooling off of the market is normal as we head into the holiday season, the demand for homes in our area should continue as inventory remains low.
