Sales volume is down 24% compared to 2019. The number of homes sold year-to-date is just about at the lows of the 2009 – 2011 Great Recession."

Housing is a key factor of life here in Franklin. The demographic study by the School Dept forecast declining enrollment and that was based upon annual home sales of 275. You hear Warren say we have only 167 year to date. We are not in the range to maintain our population, never mind try and grow the population.
