Real estate direct mail in Milford
Milford owners stay. Almost two thirds of its homes have been held for seven years or more, and there were only 20 sales here in the past 90 days.

Milford is unusually settled. Of its 1,989 owner occupied homes, 1,277 have been held for seven years or more and 1,119 for at least ten. The average is 14.5 years.
