Unveiling 2023 Real Estate Secrets: How to Score a Dream Home in the Philly Metro

 


Here is the burning question on everyone’s mind in 2023:


Is it still possible to score a fantastic deal on a home in the Philadelphia Metro?


Hello, friends. My name is Dawn D’Amico, your trusted realtor licensed in Pennsylvania and over the river in New Jersey.


So, the short answer?


Yes, absolutely. While the real estate landscape has seen its fair share of challenges, opportunities are still out there. The key lies in navigating these shifts wisely and with the right strategy and guidance, you can indeed find your dream home at a great price.


Let me share a recent success story with you. I am working with a single father who kept striking out on homes in his preferred neighborhood. It is a very small neighborhood and homes, they just do not sell very often. And when they do… everyone wants it. So, I told him, don’t worry. I would find him a home and it would all work out. I was praying something would come up.


Well, I happen to live in the same neighborhood where he wants to buy a home. So, one day I was out putting some real estate door hangers on homes nearby and a lady struck up a conversation with me about an estate that she would have to be settling soon.


Months later, she called me and during the listing appointment, she mentioned to me that she did not want to go through the showing process. I suggested that we would just do some open houses. Nope. She absolutely did not want an army of people tramping through what had been her childhood home.


I asked her if she might be interested in a private sale, and she said yes! And, guess what? The single father loved the home, and they will be doing a settlement together with me in November. It is going to be a private sale. And, it was a win-win for both of them.


This happens more often than you might think. Start talking to your friends and neighbors in the places that you are looking for a home.


Ask people if they might be moving soon. This is a great way to find off market opportunities.


The other thing I do for my buyers is look for stale listings and make a lower offer. Sellers are likely to bend on their price if they have no other options in sight.


Now, let’s take a dive a bit deeper into the how of all of this. Think of this as your insider’s guide to real estate success in 2023. It’s like playing chess. You need to anticipate the moves, stay agile, and have a seasoned realtor, like me, by your side who knows the local market like the back of their hand.

So, is it possible to find a great deal on a home in the Philadelphia Metro in 2023?


Absolutely. But it takes strategy, knowledge, negotiations, and the right realtor by your side, and that’s where I come in.
