Prices are not nearly as strong, but are okay. The average home price was $147, 500, which is a 5 percent drop from 2009’s $154,500 and the median home price was also 5 percent lower. In 2010, the median home price was $126,900, but in 2009 the median price was $133,500. Perhaps the high sales are attributable to the dropping prices.
