FM #912 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 912 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares the audio recording of my conversation with Ted Cormier-Leger. We met in the Franklin TV Studio on Wednesday, Dec 21, 2022.
Ted is a realtor here in Franklin as well as a Town Councilor. Our discussion uses a key real estate statistic he shared with me as a starting point for our conversation on housing in Franklin.
The recording of our conversation on housing runs about 40 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted. Audio file -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-912-real-estate-inventory-statistic-shock-12-21-23
