Fox Valley Market Update August 3 2019
Fox Valley market update August 3 2019. New listings of single family homes were slightly down this week. 328 this week compared to 346 the week before. Did these people want to enjoy their home for 1 more summer before they sell? Maybe that is the case or maybe with the delayed Spring and all the rain we had they finally have their home market ready.

So far May has been the busiest month for new listings, closings and contracts accepted. Not all contracts accepted close. Some come back on the market. They either had a home inspection issue that could not be negotiated or buyer could not obtain financing. Sometimes there are other issues that come up. These are times that are most important to have a good REALTOR and good real estate attorney to work through the issues.
Look at the communities that Seller’s accepted the most contracts this week:
Aurora-44 Bolingbrook-33 Montgomery-11
Naperville-43 Oswego-14 Plainfield-35
