The following data is pulled from the Central Penn Multi-List Service. It’s proof that homes are selling in Central Pennsylvania at all price points. Naturally, the list price comes in to play so the data is segregated by the actual selling price (not list price).

Selling Price                   Units Sold               Avg. Days on Market                 Active Listings

$199,999 and below         1,011                                44                                           2,023

Note to Sellers: If the market value of your home is hovering around $200,000, it is in your best interest (if you want a fast sale) to price your home under $199,999. Homes are selling fast in the $199,999 and under category.

Note to Buyers: The same information applies to you. If you are looking to buy in the $199,999 range and under, be prepared to make an offer on a home that you really like. If you hesitate or take a week or so to get pre-approved, the home may be under contract and no longer available.
