Five Richfield Homes SOLD! as June 2011 Ends

Weather effects how homes sell. The recent rains slowed down sales because more casual buyers stay home for open houses and delay going to homes with their real estate agents.

In the winter, cold and snow has an even more profound effect. Showings also tend to drop off after the Independence Day holiday while buyers, tempted by weekends at parks, lakes and at summer activities spend their time elsewhere. But activity usually picks up at the end of July for fall closings.

The following homes closed because their buyers didn’t mind getting a little wet:
