Housing costs rise. Lorain County buyers face shaky market
Rising construction and mortgage costs push Lorain County families toward postponing home purchases. Prices climb 4 to 5 percent yearly, with land and labor costs up since 1966. A real estate source notes lots once $5,200 in Elyria now fetch $4,000 five years earlier, while new homes of $20,000 may exceed $21,000 next year. Many builders and buyers look to a postwar baby boom as demand grows, despite high costs.
