Hello BBBB Friends:
Great weather to be out and about today! I have selected 6 new listings to feature. For price changes, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List keep scrolling down.
JUST IN CASE…
Are you still rocking your 2021 Christmas tree? Tomorrow is the last day the City’s Xmas tree dropoff recycling centers will be open. Plan to drop yours off or suffer the humiliation of kicking it to the curb on the next Tree Waste Trash Day which is not until March. Remember to take tinsel, garland, ornaments, and lights off the tree and, no flocked trees, please! Click here for a list of Christmas tree recycling locations.
Have a great week and,
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
