This Just In: Homes Are Selling Fast














I love stats. And maps.

I took a snapshot of the past 12 months or so, and the homes listed on the map in yellow are ones that I sold. The ones listed in red are homes I have listed for sale right now.

You can put away your calculator. That is ONE active home on the market!

No, I didn't retire. Homes are selling fast. Real fast.

But here's the thing. Buyers who are ready (pre-approved, knowledgeable about the process, etc ..) are getting these homes. The market is good for the informed. It's really stressful for those "winging it".

My point being, don't wing it. Find a Realtor you like. It would also help if you trusted them :-)

There are about to be a number of red dots on that map.

  - Anyone interested in a Dillsburg home with a horse pasture for in the 250k range?

 - How about living in the super-hot Carlisle market for under 150k?

 - CV School District w/ a fenced yard for under 200k?

Snooze, you lose!

A gut reaction would be to build big developments, with large homes or maybe a condo complex. But what if you could build a home on your current property and rent it out? I see small towns around me push back, and a common reason is "parking" . Meanwhile, a quick drive down their streets will show plenty of parking. And get this, the people that would shop in the now almost empty stores in their town wouldn't need to drive there - they would walk. Another pushback I hear is that a new structure will create too much non-permeable space . It's always an interesting thing to hear from a sector that listens and smiles - but does nothing - when I talk about clean water bills, riparian buffers, and other common sense solutions to a healthy local environment. The more I learn a...

You may not be ready to sell now, but when you do --- it's a good idea to have a leg up on your competition. Most people prefer to have an alternative heat source.
