Hello BBBB Friends:
I hope you are enjoying the Memorial Day weekend. For the past several years I’ve noticed listing and sales activity fall off the week before Memorial Day and this year is no exception. There won’t be as many homes open today and a lot of folks will be out of town or enjoying family activities so it is a good time to get ahead of buyers that swarm new listings whether at open houses or through private showings. If you are out on the house-hunting trail, I hope you’ll stop by my featured open house at 429 W 21st to say hello!
I am featuring six new listings today. Additionally, I have several price changes, and a bunch of new contracts and final sales to report for homes that are Still on My List. See which properties are potentially off your list by scrolling down to see all of the changes.
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
