Hello BBBB Friends:
All market indicators trended down this past week with the fewest number of new listings (14) in the Heights since February. Overall single-family home listings have dropped below 200 units representing just 2 months of inventory. Here’s hoping for a bunch of new listings before Thanksgiving to ease the crunch.
Today I am featuring 5 new listings, to see price changes and status updates on homes that are Still on My List, keep scrolling down!
