Hello BBBB Friends:
School’s out, vacations are underway and the summer slow-down has begun…maybe. Single-family home inventory crept up a bit again this week following another strong week of new listings. I am featuring 6 new listings this week. Be sure to keep scrolling down for price improvements, new contracts, and final sales for those homes that are Still on My List.
MKT BRIDGE REOPENED
If you are out and about on your bike today, take a detour to experience the newly re-opened MKT Bridge. The bridge has been shut down for almost 2 years following a fire in August 2020. A key artery for walkers and cyclists, the bridge spans the bayou at I-10 near Studemont Street. Today is day two of the Heights Bicycle Rally so be on the lookout for riders and drive carefully!
Have a great week and,
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
