No doom and gloom here....Lehighton, PA 18235 Residential Market Looks Real Good for 2009

Yes I know statistics sometimes can be taken out of context... But with all the negative press how bad the market is I thought I would share with Local Realtors,Buyers and sellers the Carbon MLS Statistical Market Analysis for the Past Year in Lehighton,PA 18235. I would Like to Point out some POSITIVE POINTS # 1 - 97 Active home Listings at this point and 20 Listings Pending.( That is almost 20 percent of listings are under contract) Pretty good! # 2 - Even Better is that this past year 54 Homes actually Sold. ( That is almost 50% of homes that were put up for sale actually sold).

Lets apply these statistics sellers, If you properly price your home and choose a good realtor in Lehighton then your odds of selling your home are very good. If you are  a realtor that properly prices the home in Lehighton and you list 20 Homes then you will close on 10 Homes if you do your Job properly. So what is the Magic number for Lehighton ? Yes there are a lot of variables... Location...Conditions...and upgrades. But bottom line is your home in Lehighton needs to listed at somewhere around 95 a square foot and then has a good chance of selling in 63 days.

Buyers,Sellers,and fellow Realtors Lehighton Real estate is pretty positive!
