🌞 Good Morning, Lower Merion! I finally caved and put out the fall and Halloween decorations—though it still feels a little strange with this warm weather we’ve been having! The season may not fully feel like fall yet, but the excitement is definitely here. Let’s go Phillies—time to bring it home and get to the next series!

 September Market Summary- Wynnewood | The Wynnewood market remains active and competitive, offering both opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers. With 1.98 months of inventory, it’s firmly a seller’s market..homes are in high demand and often sell quickly. Inventory has risen 83% recently and 14% year-over-year, giving buyers a few more options while prompting sellers to price strategically. Homes are selling for about 100% of asking price, with a median of just 2 days on market, showing how fast-paced the area remains. The median sold price is $690,000, setting a strong benchmark as we move through the fall season. Let’s chat! Coffee on me!☕️ |
