Monday Morning Update
Some Positive news this morning:
In the Philadelphia real estate market, April set a new record for the number of appointments scheduled to visit properties. And with a large number of listings currently under contract, we can expect closed transactions in May and June to be well above where they were a year ago.
With all of these homeowners moving into their new home, they'll need to figure out how to organize their new rooms and their old furniture. This is one of my favorite things to think about! I love imagining how the room will function and think of fun ways to make it work.
Potterybarn.com offers a free online tool to plan your room. You can utilize their example room dimensions or upload your specific room length and depth. Once you select the room size and type (i.e. bedroom, dinning room or living space) then you can play around with furniture placement.
Check it out at http://www.potterybarn.com/design-studio/tool/room_planner.html
Obviously they are promoting their furniture, but it's helpful even if you don't own their items.
Have Fun!

Monday Morning Update
I hope all the mother's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. It was a beautiful day here in Philadelphia to send time with your mom, even if it was only a phone call.

We are in the height of the Spring Real Estate market. Our local market has heated up over the past few months. I have seen first hand that the low inventory is causing homes to go under contract quickly. For example, I have a client looking for a townhome or condo under $300,000 within the King of Prussia area. On three different occasions she has given me 2 or 3 homes she'd like to see and by the time we have set a date/time, they are already Pending.
In March, the local real estate Multiple Listing Service reported:
"We saw very a very high level of activity in the market during March, certainly not unusual for this time of year, concluding a strong 1st Quarter in 2013. Electronic showing requests were at a record high and were 19% above the level a year ago, with corresponding increases in Pending sales. With Total Inventory still around 15% below where it was last year, we are also seeing increases in the Median and Average Settled Prices."
Low inventory can result in less "Days on Market" and higher sale prices.
