Market Trends May 2008 ~ Months Supply of Inventory*
The Months Supply of Inventory (MSI), Tredyffrin Township, comparison from May 2006 to May 2008 shows a drop in the number of days on the market beginning in January 2008 and an overall MSI of 7.5 Months. This is a significant increase over May of 2007 at 3.0 months. However, May of 2007 was very low and as we now know, not sustainable. If you take a look at the Average Days On The market for sold properties in the period, you can see that while there are many choices for Buyers, homes that are well priced, in good condition and desirable locations are selling in a reasonable number of days.
Buyers Market? Sellers Market? ~
The Months Supply of Inventory is calculated by first determining the Absorption Rate. These two indicators are used to determine the answer to the Buyers Market-Sellers Market question. This is a picture of a Moderate Buyers Market where there are good opportunities for qualified Buyers and for Sellers.

Will First Time Buyer’s Necessity Meet The Mother of Invention?
We’re very fortunate on the Philadelphia Main Line and Tredyffrin Township when it comes to transportation. At least, that’s what we tell ourselves. After all, don’t we have the fabulous convenience of the R5 Train Paoli/Thorndale to Philadelphia? But how many train stations can you actually walk to and from? You know, just in case you wanted to go “green” and leave the gas guzzler home?
Where can you really go in Tredyffrin Township if your car’s in for service? Or if you don’t have a car at all? Or Gas prices get even more crazed than they already are? Read the rest of this entry »

The Real Estate Sky Is Not Falling In Chester County Pennsylvania!
Chicken Little and Foxy Loxy Go Home!
The Real Estate Sky Is not falling here in Chester County Pennsylvania. I’m keenly aware of the disconnect between the National News and the reality of the Local Real Estate Market. Every day, a buyer, seller or fellow Realtor shares a “sky is falling” story. Realtors are not immune! Real estate tales abound with just as many stories as there are versions of the Chicken Little Tale.
Many buyers and sellers are “waiting”. Waiting, in the mistaken belief that something good will happen if we just “wait” long enough. There is no magic in waiting in Real Estate. Never was, never will be. You can’t win trying to time the real estate market. Your best interests will be served by knowing the facts and doing your homework. Read the rest of this entry »
