Hello BBBB Friends:
Things to look forward to post-Labor Day: football season, schools back in session, and tons of new housing inventory. Well, two out of three are guaranteed, and we can only hope that sellers have been holding listings waiting for cooler weather and potentially even more buyers in the market. I am featuring 5 new listings this week. Plus, 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!
