Fox Valley Market Update July 13 2019
Fox Valley market update July 13 2019. Thing are picking back up again since the holiday. 407 new listings of single family homes this week compared to 287 the week before. What a difference a week makes! July is usually a slow month with everyone going on vacation. It is a good time to go on vacation right after you list your home. Your home is easier to show and you don’t have to be inconvenienced with all the showings. It might even sell while you are gone. Wouldn’t that be nice!
