West Chester Real Estate Market Update – January 2016

January 27, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Year Ends Strong in Sellers’ Market for West Chester

West Chester Real Estate Market ended in a strong sellers’ market with a 2.5 month inventory of homes for sale. A 6 month inventory level is considered a balanced market. Anything under 6 months worth of inventory is considered to be an undersupply, favoring home sellers as opposed to favoring home buyers. Inventory typically is lower this time of year, however it’s at its lowest point in several years. Thinking of selling your home? This significant lack of inventory makes right now a fantastic time to get your home listed for sale.

The average sale price of homes in West Chester is $230,940, which is up 1.08% from the same time last year. Home prices are on a slow, steady rise; and are expected to continue to increase. Average days on market in West Chester is 66 days, compared to 70 last winter. The average list to sale price ratio for West Chester Real Estate is down slightly at 95.95% compared to last year’s 96.69%. This number describes what percentage of the list price homes are actually selling for.

Sell Your Home Faster – Stage Your Home With Color!

January 25, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Sell Your Home Faster – Stage Your Home With Color!

Houses that are staged sell faster and for more money than houses that are not. One of the easiest ways to get your house ready to sell is to stage your home with color. Painting is an inexpensive but very effective way to showcase your home.

You can stage your home with color by neutralizing any brightly colored walls in your home. The colors buyers should see when they enter your home should not distract them with your decorating style. They want to see your home as a blank canvas so they can more easily envision themselves in your home.

Light, clean rooms also seem larger and more updated than rooms that are painted strong colors. If you have wallpaper anywhere in your home, take it down and repaint in neutral tones. Buyers will see less work that they will have to do before moving in, and will be more likely to make a higher offer than they would otherwise.

However, neutralizing doesn’t mean you have to go paint all the walls white. You should paint your home rich, neutral tones such as light taupes, beiges, or greys. Doing so will definitely result in your home selling faster and for more money.

Why You Should Sell Your House Before Spring

January 24, 2016 by Eric Lowry

No Matter What the Groundhog Says… You Should Sell Your House Before Spring!

Despite what the groundhog says, Spring is closer than we think! Many home sellers think that Spring is the best time to put their home on the market. However, selling your home in these next six weeks before Spring hits has several advantages.

Less Competition – With Spring comes a wave of new homes for sale; not to mention new construction homes! All of that might sound good, but if you want to sell your home it means much more competition for you. Right now inventory is very low, which is not enough to satisfy buyer demand. That’s very good for home prices. You’ll be able to sell your home at a higher price and in a shorter amount of time if you sell before Spring hits.

Buyer Demand is Strong – Foot traffic is high which means buyers are still out there looking! They are ready, willing, and able to buy…they just need to find the right home.

The Process Will Be Quicker – With recent changes to lender regulations, it’s taking longer than ever to get from contract to closing. However, there is less overall business done in the winter, so real estate professionals have more time to dedicate to the sale of your home. If you sell your house before Spring, it will likely be a quicker and smoother transaction for you.
