We are so excited to let you know the Market is Improving!

According to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales have jumped 6.7% from March to April. 

 

But the most exciting news is that in the Northeast part of the country (that’s us!) it is up 32%. 

 
We are definitely seeing that in our own office as June was a record breaking month with over 120 Pending Sales Posted.
 
In addition, as we watch the market and are actively working with buyers everyday, we are noticing more multiple offers on properties, homes are sitting for less time on the market, the number of sold listings is jumping and prices are holding steady.  And don’t forget that the $8000 first time home buyers tax credit will expire on November 30th of this year so we predict a very busy Fall Season! This means more buyers and less inventory…yes a temporary sellers market!   Call us for details on how we can help you get your home sold fast in today’s market.

Lets Improve Confidence

Consumer Confidence is at an all time low, even in the Philadelpha Real Estate Market where there has never truly been a serious drop in home values.  But the bottom line is this, people who qualify for home loans will get loans and will be able to purchase a home. Good Credit, 3.5% Down Payments, Good Work History and Buying a home you can truly afford are the key elements.  In the past, people were buying homes they could not afford with adjustable rate mortgages, balloon payments, and interest only mortgages.  This is something that definitely contributed to our situation right now. Its time to get responsible about what we can afford in a home and take the steps to improve our credit, save the down payment and closing costs and buy a home that is realistic for our budget.  Right now, housing prices are optimal for buyers so try and fight the urge to ride the fence.  Now is the time to buy.  You will watch your investment and equity grow over the few years to come when our economy improves… then you can upgrade if you like.  Buy low, sell high, isn’t that what we always hear from the financial experts; lets use that as a home buying tip!
