So how has the housing market in Columbiana County performed so far this year? Let's take a look at January 1 through September 30, 2016 figures compared to the same period last year.
We continue to deal with the ramifications of low housing inventory. As a matter of fact, it has been going down, down, down over the past 10 years or so. Homeowners are staying in their homes longer for various economic and family reasons. This is a major factor leading to the limited choices in housing opportunities for new buyers, and the decrease of 11% in new listings from last year.
