Home Price Drop Signals Tough Spring!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX 440 Bucks County

Bucks County PA-Today we all heard the great news that home prices drop nearly 11% as indicated in the closely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index of home prices in 20 cities in January from a year earlier, the biggest drop in its two-decade history.

Sounds really bad and has home sellers running for the hills and buyers thinking all of a sudden that they should be getting an 11% discount based on what homes sold for a year earlier. Makes a real estate agents job that much more challenging, but should it be though?

Not if you live in Bucks County PA. IF you look at the numbers year over year in January you will see below that prices actually increase a little over 2.7%. That is right prices are up in Bucks County PA year over year. So home buyers need to be made aware of the prices in this area and not what is happening all over the rest of the country. If you have any further questions or you are thinking about buying or Selling in Bucks County PA please call Scott Irvin today at RE/MAX 440 215-348-7100 or 215-918-1920 also visit me on the web at www.scottirvin.com.

That price drop was the step that needed to happen.  The buyers have been waiting for the price... and the price is starting to show itself.
