Market update Fox Valley week 26
Market update Fox Valley week 26. New listings came in just under the week before. 295 new listings of single family homes this week compared to 308 the week before. Down by 4.22%. We need to get more new listings not less. Inventory is very low.
Closed listings were up 18.66%. 248 closed listings of single family homes compared to 209 the week before. The end of the month is usually when you see the highest numbers when most buyers want to close. Closer to the end of the month buyers come in with less money for interest for the month. Closing costs can add up so saving this amount helps them get into the home.

Contracts accepted on single family homes
Contracts accepted on single family homes were down 4.49%. 383 accepted this week compared to 401 the week before. More inventory will help to bring these numbers up. There just is not enough homes for sale for the amount of buyers that are trying to find a home. Interest rates are fantastic!
