Remax City Space Agent Testimonial– Will Cafiero

CITYSPACE | September 30th, 2007 | No Comments »

What does city space’s blog and search engine placement do for me?

Imagine, someone you met once, briefly months ago communicating to you-

We thought we’d lost touch with the only helpful agent we’d met then, by fate, we read a blog he’d wrote about his Grandmother,  and were reconnected with the special someone we’d met.

FATE OR LUCK?

LUCK = Labor Under Correct Knowledge -Robert Kyosoki

City Space IS the Place!

Northern Liberties Real Estate Statistics

CITYSPACE | September 20th, 2007 | No Comments »

Here below are some statistical graphs that spotlight Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties Neighborhood.  Use this link to see every property currently for sale in Northern Liberties.

12 MONTH NORTHERN LIBERTIES “DAYS ON MARKET” GRAPH

It’s generally taking between 2 and 5 Months to sell a property in Northern Liberties these days.  The average DOM for properties sold in May of 2007 was 57. NLibs properties that sold in July were generally on the market for 163 days.  Big fluctuation, but when taken from a small sample, representing one segment of the larger Philadelphia real estate market in general, this is not unusual.

12 MONTH NORTHERN LIBERTIES AVERAGE PRICE GRAPH

 Average Selling price of a property in Northern Liberties last month (Aug ‘07) was 322k.

NORTHERN LIBERTIES 12 Month “Asked To Sold Ratio” Graph. 

If you’re about to make an offer on a piece of real estate in Northern Liberties, this graph might prove pretty useful when it’s time to negotiate.  Ask your “Space Agent” to give you more specific “A2S” numbers for the number of bedrooms or property type you’re pursuing.  As you’ll see from this graph, offering more than 10% under asking will probably be pushing it just a bit.  But hey, never hurts to ask!  :)

If you’d like to stay in tune to what’s going on in the Philadelphia Real Estate market, subscribing to this site is a good idea.  (Use the “Hub-Scribe” option in the side column of this page)  We’ll be posting statistical updates and other great info on a fairly frequent basis.  Thanks for reading!

    will.jpgThose of you who know me personally, know my discussions on Real Estate almost always start and end with my Grandmother. We are going to be celebrating her 90th birthday this November. If she picks a restaurant to celebrate, no doubt it will have a water front view. She always buys on the water, and she never made it a secret why.  You see, while most grandmothers pass along recipes, mine passes along mostly financial advice. (That’s not to say that I can’t make a mouth watering marinara sauce or meatballs.)

    There was her summer place in Breezy Point, she got into a bidding war at an open house in the 1960’s, and wound up paying about $13,000 for a house with an asking price of  $10,000. People said she was crazy. Today you could get it for $2M, possibly, if you were willing to “get on the waiting list,” as there are none for sale on the water right now. Then there is the one she just sold, the house was on a 2000 sqft lot, and although it is located in Brooklyn, it is still a one hour commute to

    Manhattan.  The new owner paid close to $2M, and has already begun knocking the house down to ground.

    So more than a decade when I told her I’d be moving to

    Philadelphia, she asked “On the Delaware, or that other one I can’t pronounce?”  With the leading candidate for Mayor, Councilman Nutter, declaring one of his goals to rebuild the water front, talk of developing green space, parks and fields over the expressways, is there any doubt now?

    I remember years ago when I took my first class on how to use the multiple listing server, and the showed us the water front, and water front view check marks, many thought “I’ll never need this.”  Some of you may have already seen the process in other places, perhaps even in this State, places like Conshohocken, so is there any doubt? I always relied on Grandma for advice and she never steered me wrong, as she approaches the age of 90, I can’t imagine she will start now.
