New to the Market

Sure inventory is way down but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great homes coming on the market every day. You just have to have a quick computer and scan the listings frequently (trulia.com is a comprehensive site) to find the latest and greatest homes for sale. We did a little scanning of our own and found four homes placed on the market within the last week. So get your home loan pre-approval, call your realtor, and have car keys in hand to check out some of the county’s newest listings.
