Why Now Is the Time to Buy Your Delaware or Pennsylvania Dream Home

Thursday, May 12, 2016
by Katina Geralis

While we are all eagerly awaiting the start of summer in Greater Wilmington and Southeastern Pennsylvania, now is the time to finally consider moving up to your dream home. The current market conditions have created the perfect environment for DE and PA buyers to make a move, especially as they are not expected to last for the rest of the year.

If you've been thinking about buying a larger home this year, here are three reasons to consider moving up now instead of waiting:

Prices will continue to rise
You may have noticed around Wilmington, Newark, Chester County and Delaware County that home prices are on the rise— and they are not expected to slow down any time soon. According to a new report, home values are predicted to appreciate by 5.3 percent just one year from now. If you have a home to sell in Delaware or Pennsylvania, now is the time to list or you could risk pricing yourself out of your potential dream home.

Mortgage rates are at historic lows
To the benefit of DE and PA buyers, mortgage rates—now hovering below 4 percent—have not been this low in years. It is important to keep in mind that any rise in rates will have an impact on your future mortgage payment and therefore, it is better to act while they are still at historic lows. In fact, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the National Association of Realtors and Mortgage Bankers Association are predicting a rate hike over the next year, so don't wait!

Inventory is low, but traffic is high
Housing inventory is much lower than it has been in the past, but that does not mean there is any shortage of buyers in Greater Wilmington and Southeastern Pennsylvania. Buyer demand is said to be at its highest peak in years, with the number of home sales in March (sold in under 30 days) higher than any month since last July. Listing your home now to move up to your dream home could allow you to sell quickly and settle into your new property before you know it.

The KG Home Team is consistently ranked one of the top Realtors in the state and we are here to put our experience to work for you! Contact us today to discuss selling your current home and available properties in Delaware and Pennsylvania.

We look forward to hearing from you!
