The average price should ease a bit since those currently under contract have an average list price of $199,000. There are also an additional 6 properties currently on the market with an average list price of $215,000. Pricing for the single family properties have been in the mid $300,000s for the last several years.
With its great location, amenities, and wide variety of housing choices, Ballinahinch should remain a popular housing choice in the area. Activity and pricing never reached the peak seen in other areas which should provide a good cushion for the real estate market going forward.
