Market update Fox Valley-February 22 2020
Market update Fox Valley-February 22 2020. New listings of single family homes increased just under 8% this week. 318 new listings this week compared to 295 the week before. We are headed in the right direction. Buyers it is time to get busy and closely look at the new listings that are coming up and see them right away.
Closed listings were slightly down this week. 111 this week compared to 117 the week before. One more full week left to the month and I am not sure we will get to the numbers of closings that we had in January. March will be much different.
