Hello BBBB Friends:

Last night’s White Linen Night was undeniably the hottest event of the year, with a whirlwind of people, sounds, and smells. After such a lively crush of excitement, here’s hoping that everyone has had a chance to recover and will relish an unforgettable experience.

I have a short list of new listings to review today. 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!
