Default Re: For Sale Signs in TV

Given the many thousands of homes there, even if a few hundred are for sale you wouldn't see that many. As a percentage of the homes in TV, I'd bet only 5 to 10% are being sold at any given time. If that's true, you'd only see one sign in every 10 to 20 homes, and not all sellers use signs, so the number would go down.
Why don't you collect the addresses and look by village? You can get that on TV web site by selecting a particular village on the search page.

I just checked and there are 432 VLS listings as of now. Assume an equal number of MLS and FSBO's, that would be ~800 out of ~30,000, or less than 3%. So approximately only three in every hundred is for sale. That won't translate into many signs!
