Of all the neighborhoods she had to choose from she decided Northern Liberties was the best spot for her new business. Thank you Tanya! We welcome her and her yummy organic concoctions to Liberties Walk, in the former Candy Shop. Having tried another local business's juices (Lithe Foods), I have found myself really enjoying the natural flavors and health giving properties in fresh juices, smoothies, and tea infused drinks.

It's a buyer's market. Is that a true or false statement? Hmm...I would imagine many would say it is true. So I asked a few people what they thought. See my video clip:
Looks like most people believe that it is TRUE that we are in a buyer's market but I beg to differ and I challenge the popular belief, particularly in my Philadelphia Real Estate Market.
In a video clip I did a few weeks ago, I featured one of my clients as he was looking at trinity homes in Queen Village and Bella Vista. Recently we wrote an offer on one of the properties he viewed. This property was on the market for quite some time and needed a decent amount of home improvements and updating. But just as we worked out an agreeable written offer for the seller, two more offers from other buyers came into the picture! What are the chances? I thought this was a buyer's market!
Well, the chances are clearly better than what most people think. Multiple offers are not a thing of the past in Philadelphia, even in this so-called "buyer's market". A multiple offer situation will often occur when the subject property is #1- priced right and #2- is located in a highly desired location. These two key criteria when combined create a powerful win-win scenario for a savvy buyer whether they are a first time home buyer, a seasoned home owner or a Real Estate Investor.
I always say to my buyer clients, if you love this home enough to write an offer, someone else probably does, too. Therefore if you are considering writing an offer on a home that is priced right and located right, then be prepared to write a strong and fair offer and do not delay. Timing is often everything.

We specialize in buyer and seller agency in Philadelphia. Getting a property sold in this market is much more challenging. However, our marketing and advertising strategy is always intensive and aggressive to accomplish the goals.
What it takes to get your house sold
Not too long ago, listing a home on the MLS, putting a lock box on the door knob, and sticking a For Sale sign on the front yard was all it used to take to get homes sold. Though the Philadelphia region is still doing fairly well in comparison to the rest of the country, currently there is a large inventory of houses for sale and the time on the market doubled over the last year. This is good news for buyers but not so good news for sellers who may still be convinced they can sell their properties just as fast as their neighbors did two years ago.
It takes a well-conceived marketing plan to get houses sold these days and this is exactly the approach we take with every client. It ultimately boils down to pricing it right, creating the maximum amount of exposure in the market through innovative marketing tactics, and making sure the house shows well. With so much to choose from, buyers are picky and almost always look for properties that are move-in ready. You can read more about getting your house ready for sale in our Resources section.
