Buyer and Sellers are on different Calendars....

Phoenixville by the numbers... For years, people have listened to theory and opinion, and this year... it is time to reflect on the numbers.  The housing market is one of highs and lows and it often moves with the seasons. Even in today’s market of media fear and the unknown, these seasons are in place.  One of the issues at hand is that the Buyers and Sellers are not always functioning on the same calendar. 
 
Sellers are often eager to have the grass mowed perfect, the bushes manicured, a few birds making music in the back ground, and the sun high in the clouds.  This is the picture book idea of listing their home for sale.  It makes sense to them and, conveniently fits into their busy schedules.  In our town of Phoenixville, the listings over the last year have varied from a high of 170 active homes in January 2011, to a low of 128 active homes in December 2011, with the average of 155 homes active in the middle.  Outside of a few highs and lows, the market has stayed somewhat constant.  What have varied considerably have been the buyers and their activity levels.  As a seller, your goal is not to fit the process to your personal schedule, but to hit when the iron is hot and make your home available when the buyers are most interested in purchasing it. 
 
       

 
If you reflect on the numbers listed above, you see that buyers are actively purchasing homes when its cold, snowy, and uncomfortable right into the cherished Spring market. So when many sellers are holding tight and hoping to time the market in the Spring, they are restricting themselves to a very short selling season, and in some cases setting themselves up for defeat. 
 
Certainly we would all love to see the fresh mulch and spring flowers, but the Phoenixville housing market is not one of picture books, it is one of realities. The longer you wait, the more opportunity you miss out on.  2012 is not going to be much different and actually I believe it will be much stronger in this early market because of the moderate weather and extremely low interest rates.  Consumers are taking interest and are looking to capitalize on the opportunity currently presenting itself.  The housing market likes predictability, and although none of us are certain about our future, I feel there is one safe bet for now.  The Democrats can not afford to allow the market to get worse and the Republicans can not afford to allow the market to get better, so in this election year, we have a stale mate that lends its self to both buyer and seller.... Predictability!

So what should you take from this, Phoenixville? Now is the time to sell if that is on your agenda for 2012.  Buyers, there is a market available to you right now that you may never see again in your lifetime, and it is without question a time that many will look back with regret for not capitalizing on this opportunity.
 
I pride myself on professionally serving the Phoenixville community, with the customer service that many have forgotten about, and the technology that most have never heard of.  I welcome the opportunity to assist you with any and all of your real estate needs!
 
As I sit in Artisan Cafe & Gallery on Bridge Street and write this, I reflect on how much I enjoy being a part of the Phoenixville community.  I am thrilled to introduce others to our community and allow you to continue and grow with in it!

The Firebird Festival is Coming!!

The eighth annual Firebird Festival is going to be December 10th from 3-10pm.  This is a great event, and one with a great deal of meaning for Phoenixville.  Phoenixville has a rich history as steel town, a place where its residents either worked for the Steel plant, or in some fashion supported it.  There was a time that you could find things manufactured in Phoenixville all over the world.  In the early 80's that era came to an end with the closing of Phoenix Iron & Steel.  The town was hit hard by its closing; Phoenixville along with its residents fell on hard times and remained there for a close to 20 years.

Through a combined effort of local government, residents, and key investors Phoenixville has literally pulled itself from the ashes of the steel plant if you will.  This town has grown so much over the last 10 years, and has truly become one of the prized gems of Chester County.  We have become a destination, a place to gather, and place to celebrate, and of many of us.... A place to live.  There is a since of pride to be able to say “I live in Phoenixville”.

Saturday the 10th, from 3-10pm there will be a celebration.  One separate from all of our holidays and personal beliefs. It’s an event that I feel ignites a huge since of pride for local residence.  It’s a great reason to come downtown and show your pride, and to invite your friends and family to WOW them with an event unlike any other event.  I don't know any town that yearly constructs a massive Phoenix with such detail to be considered art, and brings its community together to ignite our pride, and move us into the next year with a since of urgency and excitement to see that new things will come to our town of Phoenixville.

I hope you can make it to this event, and I ask that you tell as many people as possible about this event.  This is a place for all to gather, celebrate, and enjoy!

I'm Proud to serve Phoenixville as your local professional Realtor!
