BROOKFIELD: Single family homes: 27 of 105 (26%) are under contract. Condos/townhomes: 1 of 11 (9%) are under contract.

The take-away here is that the lower % of under contract homes, the weaker the market. We are seeing a shift toward a buyer's market in at least a couple of these areas.

Now is the time for sellers to be pro-active about pricing their homes competitively to stand out, properly preparing their homes for sale, and presenting their homes in the best possible light. Let me guide you through the process of getting your home SOLD!
