Hello BBBB Friends:
Welcome back and Happy New Year! Brrrr it’s cold! There are only 15 open houses in Heights* today and all have been open before, so today may be a good day to hang at home and recover from the holidays.
It has been over 10 years since the number of active single-family home (SFH) listings has been this low. Inventory is typically lowest at this time of the year, however, with only 136 listings, we are 88% below where we were on January 1, 2021. Preliminary numbers show SFH sales in the Heights* up 18% in 2021. More stats to come.
No featured listings this week but quite a few of the homes that were Still on My List have closed. Keep scrolling down to see final sales prices. AND, If you need a bigger dose of real estate, here is a link to my other blog posts from the week. This week’s topics include:
- Why Selling Your House with a Real Estate Professional is Essential
- Expert Insights on the 2022 Housing Market
- 5 Tips for Making Your Best Offer on a Home
- Key Things to Avoid After Applying for a Mortgage
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
