Our Market Isn’t Slowing Down
The data explains why our market won’t be slowing down anytime soon..
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting asked if the market will slow. I don't believe the market is slowing down anytime soon, and I don’t think it will crash like it did in 2006. Back then, they were literally giving out mortgages without documentation to prove you could afford the house.
The numbers show that our market is still strong. Here is data from Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties that compare December 2020 to December 2021:
Montgomery County
Closed Sales: 1,142 (2020); 1,044 (2021)
Average Price: $396,000 (2020); $431,000 (2021)
Chester County
Closed Sales: 745 (2020); 679 (2021)
Average Price: $457,000 (2020); $502,000 (2021)
Delaware County
Closed Sales: 763 (2020); 723 (2021)
Average Price: $324,000 (2020); $345,000 (2021)
As you can see, our market is only going up, and it's going to hold stable for many years to come. If you’re looking to buy or sell, I wouldn’t wait for spring because there will be more competition on the market.
