Chester County Real Estate Market Statistics July 2009

During the month of July 2009, there were 810 single family homes that went on the market for sale in Chester County. The average listing price was $440,000. There were 492 units that sold during the month of July 2009 for an average price of $363,000.

There was not a dramatic change from 2008 in inventory or sold price. As a matter of fact, in July 2008 homes sold on average of only $4,000 less at $367,000. The number of units sold in July 2008 was 544.

One always asks, “Where is the real estate market going in our area like Chester County?” And boy do I wish I could answer that one! I notice when the inquiries of homes for sale increase. I notice when there are more showings on current homes I am marketing for sellers. But it seems to change with the weather – and there isn’t a formula of prediction. I hope we will continue to see increased home sales for Chester County, as we have since September 2008.

Again, these statistics are more accurate taken down on a much more localized area. For a report by neighborhood or township – you can email me or leave a comment.
