Home Prices in West Chester PA for April 2014

West Chester PA Home Prices This Month in Real Estate April 2014

We have seen several straight months of listing price increases on home prices in West Chester and don’t expect things to slow down anytime soon. If you are considering buying a home,  don’t wait on the sidelines for too long, many of our listings are starting to sell within a few days of hitting the market. As you can see from the graph below, the inventory in the West Chester School District is quite low compare to last year 290 total units to 370 total units a year ago. To help you make the best decision during this changing Real Estate Market, be sure that you  have an agent that does a thorough market analysis of the West Chester home on which you are making an offer.

WCSD March 2104 If you are interested in how much current inventory is on the market in West Chester PA you can find that information by clicking on the link.   There is low inventory currently in the area. Currently in West Chester PA homes have a median time of 75 days on the market before they sell. Low inventory in West Chester has multiple offers coming when priced well. I wouldn't expect home prices to run up quite as fast as they did back before the housing downturn because banks have gotten a lot stricter on lending guidelines and are no longer giving a loan to anyone with a pulse. But low inventory is one indicator that prices should continue to rise.

Local Real Estate Recap 2013 from Trend

 Please call  or email me if you have any questions or would like to discuss the market in your local area .

According to Dave Davis from Trend,  2013 started strong and finished strong as sales in December exceeded 2012 by 13% and the median sale price was 4% above December 2012. In 2013, we saw a remarkable recovery of the housing market; compared to 2012, sales were up 14% and the median sale price was up 4.5%.
Prices increased at a very healthy rate that is sustainable over the next year. Inventory remained low throughout the year and ended the year 4% lower than at the end of 2012. An inventory shortage is one of the potential barriers to further strengthening of the housing market and will make 2014 a great time to sell.

Please call  or email me if you have any questions or would like to discuss the market in your local area

Best Steps to Prepare to Sell your Home

The Selling Process

Listing your home for sale is a big decision, and can take time and effort to prepare for. By following these simple steps, you can streamline the process and make your home appealing for both buyers and their agents.

Best Steps to Prepare to Sell   - Call me, Maureen Robinson, to help with the process 

If you want to sell your home as quickly as possible for as much as possible, then it's time to optimize your home for sale.   The first step is to disassociate yourself from you house.  Start thinking of your home as a product, not a home.  Make the decision to "let go" of your house and begin saying goodbye to each room and associations with the house.  Save your memories forever, but focus on moving forward rather than hanging on to the past.

Optimizing your home for sale requires some work, so make a list and get started!  Use the tips below to help you get your home ready to sell.

Inside

• ·         Clean up!
• ·         Organize and de clutter all closets.
• ·         Clean dishes and laundry.
• ·         Clean windows (inside and outside).
• ·         Repaint rooms neutral colors.
• ·         Polish door handles, fix leaky faucets .
• ·         Replace burned out light bulbs.
• ·         Clean or replace dirty carpets and rugs.
• ·         Open blinds and curtains.
• ·         Organize
• ·         Neatly arrange dishes and mugs in cupboards.
• ·         Hang shirts in same direction.
• ·         Keep remote controls at entertainment station (not on couch).
• ·         Take pets to a neighbor.
• ·         Keep computer station clean and dusted.
• ·         If necessary, rent a storage unit for excess furniture, lawn equipment, and personal items.
• ·         Pack up knickknacks and clear books from bookshelves.
• ·         Make all visible repairs.

Special touches

• ·         Pay close attention to the kitchen and bathrooms.  Make them as clean, modern, and well lit as possible.
• ·         “Add” more space to your house by removing bulky furniture and clearing tops of tables, dressers, and other flat surfaces.
• ·         Don’t store things in your closets, basement, garage, or attic.  These spaces should be clean, organized, and open.
• ·         Put on a low fire on cold days and offer refreshments.
• ·         Pack away anything you want to take with you (i.e. special drapes, heirloom chandelier, etc).  Once you tell a buyer she can’t have an item, she will covet it.
• ·         When buyers visit, play soft music, bake something to make the house smell good, and get lost. Give buyers time in the house alone. Leave the home, if possible  for all showings. 

Outside

Buyers will make a first impression of your home within 60 seconds, and the impression will be formed based on your house's outside appearance.  Not only that, most buyers research homes on the Internet before visiting, and they form impressions based on the house's listing pictures.  One cannot over emphasize the importance of maximizing your property's attractiveness from the outside, including landscaping, lighting, and the house itself.

• ·         Yard improvements
• ·         Season permitting, plant flowers.
• ·         Add new mulch to flower beds.
• ·         Give entrance a welcome feeling.
• ·         Add or remove plants, trees, and shrubs as appropriate.
• ·         Make sure your walkway and front porch are clear from debris, leaves, ice, and snow.
• ·         Home Improvements
• ·         Make any visibly needed repairs.
• ·         Paint, varnish, or purchase a new front door.
• ·         Polish or purchase new door handle.
• ·         Add extra lighting.
• ·         Clean gutters.

Call me, and I will help you get your home SOLD!
