Updated Delaware and Pennsylvania Real Estate Market Stats 2019

by Katina Geralis

It's time for a new Delaware and Pennsylvania real estate market update! As you know, the market is always changing, especially with the seasons, but buyer demand is still high in Delaware and Pennsylvania since buyers now shop year-round for properties on their smartphones, tablets, even set up email alerts with new listings! 

Inventory is still slightly under where it was at this time last year. But remember, this is always changing! If you have questions about the market where you live, it is always best to contact your agent for an up-to-date look at the market. As your local experts, the Kat Geralis Home Team is here to help!

From July to September 2019, 2,004 homes were sold (about the same as the last time we shared this report) with a median sold value of $248,000 (slightly up from our last report). The number of units listed during this timeframe was 2,199 homes— which comes in just under this number from our last report, but as you can see, buyers are still very much browsing inventory and not waiting long to jump on the home that best meets their needs! Even with the changing seasons!

The average days on the market for New Castle County for homes listed during July, August, and September are as follows:

July: 37

August: 42

September: 39

While the summer months are typically a popular time for buyers to move homes in New Castle County, you'll notice that the Days on Market (DOM) for properties during this time didn't drop much as we headed into September.

If you haven't heard about the latest and greatest from the real estate world, you'll want to put iBuying Programs on your radar! 

iBuying real estate companies essentially allow motivated sellers to submit their properties to buyers who can make an instant cash offer.

eXp has just debuted their iBuying Program, called Express Offers, and while currently only available in select markets, plans to expand the program into more states by the end of the year. 

Express Offers, eXp's iBuying platform, allows agents to submit their sellers' homes to several institutional investors who are able to make an instant cash offer. In addition, the agent can submit the home to more than one investor to yield multiple offers for their sellers— whereas many other iBuying programs only allow for one instant offer at a given time.

Why is this appealing to sellers? iBuyers allow home sellers the opportunity to unload their home quickly, equalling a faster sale and avoiding traditional marketing.

If iBuying Programs are something that strikes a chord with you or you're interested to learn more, keep reading for a few key facts on what you should know:

  • iBuying Programs typically look for homes that meet specific requirements, IE. age of the home, condition, improvements needed.
     
  • Offer prices are often less than the current market value due to the iBuyer wanting to make a profit (and likely quick!).
     
  • iBuying Programs can cost you more in fees, potentially ranging from 13 to 15 percent of a home's sale price.
