Dear Neighbor:

We were fortunate to enjoy such a beautiful autumn season. The leaves turned with warm colors glowing and the home buyers are also turning up here to see what we have to show them. It is still a buyers market and the buyers are well aware of that fact. So far it translates into more sales than ever: 14 recorded sales since our last MidCornwall letter to you when we reported 5 home sales and 1 land sale.

Here is the report:
