re: Recent buying trends

The Seymour, Oxford areas in the past 5 years have drawn a number of transients to the area, i.e. individuals with a 2-4 year work contracts. Many others have simply invested in many new developments in the area. When the developments went in the homes ranged from 350K to 389K and now range from 489K to 600K
