Market Update Fox Valley-January 19 2019
Market update Fox Valley-January 19 2019. Happy Saturday! Hope you had a great week. New listings this week were slightly down. 224 this week compared to 279 last week. The weather this last week was not too bad so that was not a factor like it will be next week with the snow and colder temps we are getting this weekend.
Closed listings this week were slightly up. 115 closed homes this week compared to 101 last week. These should increase as we get closer to the end of the month. January is not a fun month to move but if you find a home now and close in February or March you might have better weather. You just never know how it will work out. We really have had a mild winter so far.
