The numbers in a report on the housing market by Remax forecasting a slight rise in sales after decreasing almost every year since 2008.
The average price for a home went up this year and will continue to climb according to local realtor Gordon Breau who tells CHSJ News people appear to be buying pricier homes. He says there's not as much new construction going on in the city and people are buying and renovating because any land left in the city is hard to develop.
