Harleysville-Lansdale Real Estate and More: How's the market in Montgomery County PA?

How's the market in Montgomery County PA?

How's the market?  How's the market?  How's the market?

This is the most common question, by far, that we Realtors hear on a daily basis - more frequently than ever it seems. We hear this in formal and informal settings, from the line in the supermarket to a detailed discussion of real estate with prospective buyers and sellers. 

So I thought I’d give an update on the activity in our local area, especially considering that we just had a month end.

Here’s the latest information from the past two months, June and July 2011.  These figures are for Lansdale and North Wales Boroughs and Montgomery and Towamencin Townships combined. They include all types of homes/units.  Averages don't always give a clear picture as outliers can skew the data, but it does help give a picture of trends and the overall state of the market.

In June, there were 101 homes listed for sale, while in July 80 homes were listed. The average listed price in June was $283,159; July was $298,691. 

The number of homes sold is reported as 54 in June and 63 homes in July.  The average sold price for June was $253,595.  The average sold price for July was $280,711. 

How long were these on the market on average? Well, in June, the homes that sold averaged 93 days; in July, that number was 68 days on the market. 

The July numbers for all of Montgomery County are not yet available, but will be soon. Look for those figures in an upcoming article.

Anonymous, If you read my blog or my books, you should know have ltitle problem talking about race and crime without much concern for being politically correct (see, for instance, "the racial reality," from Feb 19, 2011). I mean, hell, it's not like anybody forced me to post the video in the first place. But you make two other points: 1) Everybody stealing in the video is black. Yesss, and... so what? That's obvious. We can see it. I suspect it's a black neighborhood. And just how does pointing out the obvious help us understand or prevent this action? If it did, I probably would have mentioned it. I don't think it matters any more than the race of the clerk. Is he Indian? I can't tell. 2) You say, "flash mobs are brutally violent toward people with less melanin in their skin." Well that's just not true. Well there has been at least some incidents. Wisconsin does come to mind, but I'm not even certain the incident at the state fair was a flash mob. But no, attacking lighter skinned people is not the S.O.P. of the average criminal flash mob. The average criminal flash mob--as opposed to the average song-and-dance flash mob I'm rather fond of--commits crime. When crime happens in nice rich neighborhoods and the victims are white, it makes the news. When it happens in poor minority neighborhoods (I'm assuming, but do not know, as in this video) it does not make the news. At least not unless there's a hell of a video. Most crime is intra-racial. Blacks (not whites) are the victims of most black crime. There are black racists and white racists. And just think, if they come in equal numbers, there are 7 whites racists for every black racist. This is an overlooked fact that matters tremendously. It means that if more than 13% of non-blacks are racist (a reasonable assumption), then blacks are out numbered by racists. Meanwhile if 13% of blacks are racist, each black racist would be outnumbered approximately 35 to 1. Which gang of idiots do think is more of a threat?Assuming you're not black (another reasonable assumption), you might be racist. You see the video and see race; I see crime.
