Prices Increase in Stonemill Farms Becky and I are sort of what you would call ‘data junkies’. Especially when it comes to the local real estate market. We keep hearing in the national news that the real estate market is leading the way to economic recovery.

Real Estate Market Update - Woodbury's Stonemill Farms Stonemill Farms, located on the far Eastern side of Woodbury, was the pre-recession gem of the city. New homes were selling faster than builders could keep with. Then the recession hit. In January 2008, previously owned homes spent about 100 days on the market. By the end of the year, homes were languishing on the market, on average, over 200 days. That translated to a staggering 18 months supply of homes for sale in Stonemill Farms!  Five years later, Stonemill Farms is on it’s way to a thriving real estate market.

Woodbury MN Stonemill Farms Information Center - Durham Executive Group           The above photo is of Newland Commuities original Stonemill Farms Information Center.
