Price Your Home Right When inventory is low, like it is in the current market, it’s common to think buyers will pay whatever we ask when setting a listing price. Believe it or not, that’s not always true. Don’t forget that the buyer’s bank will send an appraisal to determine the fair value for your house. The bank will not lend more than what the house is worth, so be aware that you might need to renegotiate the price after the appraisal. A real estate professional will help you set the true value of your home.

"This last year, the No. 1 reason for the uptick in purchasing a multigenerational home was to make space to care for and spend more time with older parents."

As COVID-19 cases have been rising across the country and here in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine have issued over a dozen new orders and advisories between last week and this week. Though none of those orders specifically target real estate, several will impact your daily practice to varying degrees. PAR previously reviewed the updated universal masking order and the testing/quarantine order for out-of-state travel. Those remain in effect indefinitely. New to the scene are a stay-at-home advisory and a mitigation/enforcement order that pulls together several prior documents with several new restrictions. This article will review the high points of those two new items. #StaySafe

Whatever it takes to put the deal together! Got a story to add to this list?

On Nov. 17, the state Department of Health announced additional rules in an effort to tamp down the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. This article reviews those changes only in relation to real estate practice, and I’ll throw in a few helpful reminders of the existing rules as well. Masks, Masks, Masks A new universal masking order went into effect at 12:01 a.m. today, Nov. 18. Face coverings/masks are to be worn indoors or in an enclosed space, where ...another person or persons who are not members of the individual’s household are present in the same space, irrespective of physical distance. For business purposes, there’s an exclusion for those working alone and isolated from interaction with other people with little or no expectation of in-person interaction. For office employees, that would be if they’re in an office (four walls and a door) by themselves or in a cubicle (three walls) if the walls are high enough to block the breathing zone of all people walking by and other workers are not going in and out of the workspace. #StaySafe See more

Fewer new sellers coming to market while a greater than usual number of buyers continue to search for a home causes inventory to continue to evaporate. #ListRealEstateNow
