11 16 19 Market Update Fox Valley
11 16 19 Market update Fox Valley. New listings of single family homes were slightly down this week. 193 this week compared to 220 the week before. Any amount of new listings down has an impact for buyers. That means there are less homes available to them to see. If you are looking for a home over $200,000 you have more to choose from then buyers looking under that amount. We are still very short in inventory for buyers looking under $200,000 price range. If you have a home in that price range to sell this would be a great time to get it on the market.
Closed single family homes were very consistent this week. 173 closed this week compared to 176 the week before. Consistent is a good thing!

Contracts accepted this week
Contracts accepted this week on single family homes was up this week. 178 this week compared to 168 the week before. It is a good time right now to get into a home before the end of the year. With 2 holidays between now and the end of the year, when businesses are closed, soon we will have to go into the new year. You could start the New Year out right with a new home and have time to get it the way you want it before Spring comes when you will want to be outside getting the yard the way you want it.
