Market update Fox Valley week 28

Market update Fox Valley week 28Market update Fox Valley week 28.  The market is still hot!  New listings of single family homes were up 12.59%.  313 this week compared to 278 the week before.  If more home were on the market it would be even hotter.  Inventory is so low.  Now is the time to sell.  Covid-19 has not slowed down the market.  I think it has increased the market.  Buyers are looking for a home with office space and more room with a bigger yard.

Closed single family homes were down 45.92%.  199 this week compared to 368 the week before.  This is the first full week of July so this is to be expected.  Most buyer’s want to close at the end of the month.

Contracts accepted this week

Market update Fox Valley week 28-Contracts accepted this week

Contracts accepted this week were down 12.56%.  341 this week compared to 390 the week before.  This is due to low inventory.  If there were more homes on the market these numbers would go up.  During the week of the 4th new listings were down.  Hopefully more homes will come on the market now that we are past the holiday.  We hope they spent the week getting their home ready for market.
