Hello BBBB Friends:
Over the past year, it has sometimes been challenging to come up with 5-6 new listings each week to feature on BBBB. Not this week. In fact, there were so many choices I am going to cut straight to the chase with my TOP 10! new listings. Craftsman, Queen Anne, Greek Revival, English Cottage, Tudor Cottage, and Contemporary/Modern, it’s a celebration of Heights home styles, so grab a cup of coffee and dig in!
As always, keep scrolling down for price improvements, new contracts, and final sales for those homes that are Still on My List.
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
