Jean’s Take on October Statistics

Monday, November 9th, 2009

There was a drop in SOLD & Settled number of homes across Chester County.  For the first time in months we saw Pending Sales List Prices increase.  Move-up Buyer’s market finally seeing the result of the $8,000 tax credit.  Coming later this month - a synopsis of new buyer incentives for first-time buyers AND move-up buyers.

FASTER and for MORE MONEY

Jean & Bob attribute their excellent statistics to PRICE and STAGING.  Staged homes SOLD in 1/2 the time & for 6.3% more
