Answering the most frequently asked questions about our real estate appraisal services:

How much are the homes selling for in my neighborhood?

We would need to take a detailed look at the market conditions of your neighborhood before answering that question. A full and thorough analysis of your market area is provided in your appraisal report.

In the meantime….here are the housing prices AND how long it’s taking a home to sell in the Philadelphia Metro area broken down by county.

Hopefully this will provide you some insight into our housing market.
