The real estate market in Franklin County continues to show steady activity and resilience, even as the national housing market adjusts to rising interest rates and broader economic shifts. While the rapid price increases of recent years have started to level off, demand remains strong, especially for well-maintained single-family homes in desirable locations.
That said, we are seeing a more balanced market overall. Buyers are still out there, but they’re more selective and price-conscious, which means that accurate pricing, staged homes and marketing are more important than ever. Inventory has been slowly increasing, offering more options for buyers, but supply remains tight in certain price ranges.
In the hill-towns, the pace is a bit slower. Properties there are generally taking longer to sell, showings have tapered off, and in many cases, price reductions are needed to generate renewed interest. It’s a noticeable shift from the fast-paced market of the past few years, but it also reflects a return to more typical selling conditions.
Sellers are still in a good position, especially when homes are priced competitively and marketed effectively. Franklin County continues to attract interest thanks to its rural charm, welcoming communities, and access to outdoor recreation, qualities that appeal to both full-time residents and second-home buyers.
