It was a another great month for Timbergrove. The average home price as risen by double digits year over year. Homes are still selling very quickly. However, home shoppers have a few more options this month than they have had for most of the summer. That being said, inventory levels remain historically low, which could yield even higher prices in the months and weeks ahead. On the quality of life front, we have a new restaurant that has joined the neighborhood. Hughie’s Tavern located at 1802 W. 18th St. We can’t wait to check out the Spicy lemongrass Tofu and the Banh Mi sandwiches.
