Hello BBBB Friends:

The insanity that is the real estate market continued this week. Have you seen the TikTok video about the apple? If not, you really have to see this! 🤣

I have 6 new listings to share with you today and as always I have updated the status and prices of homes Still on My List.  

HEIGHTS REAL ESTATE UPDATE
Single-family home sales in the Heights in March increased 54% with 130 closings. The average number of closings in the previous five years for March is only 83 sales. Average and median sale prices declined slightly year over year by approximately 2%

Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
