I'm a numbers junkie, so it was inevitable that I would be looking at numbers with you on this show. I think the numbers make you a more informed customer when the time comes to buy or sell a home in Lancaster County, PA. As of today 1/16/11 there are 3,101 homes on the market in Lancaster County. Last week, 138 new listings were added to the market. 34 Listings expired last week (which means that the listing contract ended without the agent having sold the home) and 80 listings were "extended" (meaning that the owners "doubled down" with their current listing agent as their listing contracts ended). 57 happy owners accepted contracts on their properties, and 35 even happier folks closed last week! For those who closed, their homes were on the market an average of 81 days before they got their house under agreement. This is a typical timeframe for the last year or so. Median sale price for the closed homes was $159,900...pretty low. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue.
