CORNWALL — The most recent two months, October and November, based on transfers as recorded by the Town Clerk, show Cornwall’s median home prices continue to rise. Four properties were transferred in these two months — above average for Cornwall which has yearly sales of fewer than 20.

At the end of December there were eight residential properties for sale, four for $575,000 or less and four for over one million dollars.
