New Albany Ohio Real Estate – 2010 Recap

You don’t have to look too hard for some encouraging real estate news in New Albany from last year. Overall, prices stabilized and unit sales were up 13% over the 2009 numbers versus a 5% decrease in unit sales in the entire Columbus Board of Realtors.

These programs cannot take into...
