Still anyone's guess how lucky at the moment, but still, the range of the possible already exceeds what we'd hoped for back in 2014 when we started looking into the area.

The average time for a market to complete a full cycle will differ, but from I am reading it can range from 10 to 25 years.

Market Comps in the historic area of town (.5 mile radius of subject property) range from $450-$575 for 1 Bed 1 Bath.
