Becky's Best Bungalow Bets for Aug 13, 2023: 4 New Listings

Hello BBBB Friends:

Given the projected high temperature of 102 degrees today, it’s unsurprising that there is only half the usual count of open houses scheduled.

I have four new listings to share today. Plus, keep scrolling down to see status changes, including price changes, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List!

Have a great week, and,

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