Over the last few years, we've seen the real estate market make a strong recovery. In 2013, we saw many significant improvements in Greater Philadelphia and the nation as a whole. Since the recession, prices have risen, days on market have fallen, and homes are often receiving multiple offers.
Last year was more of a roller coaster. We got off to a slow start because of bad weather on the East Coast, but sales really took off in April and May. Things slowed down in the fall, but picked back up again in November and the market has been pretty active ever since. This January, homes are moving very quickly - many properties we listed during the holidays received more than five offers a piece and sold for well-over asking price.
Because our market is so robust right now, buyers are often finding themselves in highly competitive situations. If conditions continue this way, we're probably going to see an increase in prices. The force behind much of this activity is the incredible affordability of interest rates, which have just recently dipped as low as we've seen them in years. This combination of low rates and low inventory is really fueling our market right now.
