Real Estate Home Sales Indicators February 2009
February 23rd, 2009 Categories: Chester County, Delaware County, Market Trends, Montgomery County
Those of us living and working in the Chester County Pa and the Philadelphia Main Line Real Estate Market can benefit from knowing the important National Housing and Home Sales Indicators* Several Real Estate Housing and Home Sales indicators will be updated this week.
We’ll be watching these Housing and Economic indicators and keeping you informed as to the overall condition of the Housing Industry as measured by these key National Housing Indicators as we move into Spring. This is a photograph I took last Spring of a flowering Cherry Tree, along the path of a walk with Daisy in Chesterbrook. I’m looking forward to Spring! It’s such a hopeful time!
“All Real Estate Is Local” as you’ve heard me say many times, but still these National Housing Indicators help us frame our Local Chester County Main Line Pa Real Estate Statistics as we review and evaluate our Local Real Estate Market Trends in our Market Reports for Chester County, Delaware County and Montgomery County.
