Hello BBBB Friends:
Happy 4th of July! All indicators trended up this week except for new home contracts. I anticipate that the intense heat we are experiencing may be causing some potential buyers to stay indoors or cool off in pools. Additionally, the number of open houses in the area today remains below 30 for the second consecutive week. I have selected five 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!
