If you’ve got a new physi- cian moving to town, they can live in that $400,000 to $700,000 (new home) zone. “New homes that we sold last year in the $299,000 range are now up to $320- to $350,000 be- Ackley cause of the short supply.” Already, Warrenton’s aver- age home sale is $263,589; Hammond’s is $276,236. Families in the lower pay ranges will suffer, she said. There’s a good supply of two-bedroom apartments in the $1,000 to $1,200 range. “We’re building those like nobody’s business, but you can’t put a family in there.” Countywide, an estimated 353 new homes will be need- ed to serve the growing econ- omy, according to a housing study done on behalf of the Way to Wellville program, which is working with the Kinder Ready collaborative.
