Wallingford PA Real Estate – February 15, 2021 To February 21, 2021

A weekly review of recently sold homes in Wallingford PA and current market statistics.

There are 10 homes listed for sale – 7 Active listings and 3 Active Under Contract listings – in Wallingford PA and Nether Providence Township on February 23, 2021 with an average asking price of $566,180.

Home sales could easily be 20% higher if more homes were for sale, says Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of REALTORS®. Existing-home sales – completed transactions for single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and co-ops – rose 0.6% in January compared to December 2020 and are up nearly 24% over a year ago, the National Association of REALTORS® reported Friday. All four major regions of the U.S. recorded double-digit annual gains for home sales in January.

“Home sales continued to ascend in the first month of the year, as buyers quickly snatched up virtually every new listing coming on the market,” Yun says. Seventy-one percent of homes sold in January were on the market for less than a month, according to NAR’s report.

While most of the economy has felt the toll of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, the housing sector has remained a bright spot, Yun adds. Sales remain high and home prices have continued to rise, adding equity to home sellers.

“Home sales are continuing to play a part in propping up the economy,” Yun says. “With additional stimulus likely to pass and several vaccines now available, the housing outlook looks solid for this year.” Yun predicts employment to increase, which could spur even more home buying over the coming months. He predicts existing-home sales to reach at least 6.5 million in 2021.

Here’s a closer look at key indicators from NAR’s existing-home sales report, reflecting January sales data:

Home prices: The median existing-home price for all housing types in January was $303,900—a 14% jump over a year ago.

Inventory: Total housing inventory at the end of January was 1.04 million units, down nearly 26% from a year ago. Unsold inventory sits at a 1.9-month supply at the current sales pace.

Days on the market: Properties typically remained on the market for 21 days in January, down from 43 days a year prior.

First-time buyers: First-time buyers comprised 33% of sales in January, up slightly from 32% a year earlier.

Cash sales: All-cash sales accounted for 19% of transactions in January, down from 21% a year ago. Individual investors or second-home buyers tend to make up the biggest bulk of cash sales. They accounted for 15% of sales in January, down from 17% in January 2020.
