The affordability of homes and convenient location near I-89 make the county an excellent option for buyers. The number of units sold increased for single-family homes and condos during the period. This is likely a result of the availability of inventory and a median price $115k less than nearby Chittenden County.<\/p>\n<p>The median price of single-family homes in Franklin County has increased by nearly 20% since 2018, but remains an affordable option for buyers and is good news for sellers who have increased equity in their home.<\/p>\n<p>St. Albans and Swanton represent 42% of the sales
