Hello BBBB Friends:
Real estate activity remained quiet this week. Moving into August, we expect more of the same. The combination of vacations, back-to-school, and a high heat index makes August a traditionally slower market. I have selected four 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!
