June 2025 Pennsylvania Real Estate Market Update
Skim it in 2, read it in 5. Emotional insight from the field, hot buyer needs, coming-soon listings, and local events you won’t want to miss.
Welcome June (will summer finally arrive?)
The process of buying or selling a home will invariably bring an emotional element to it. It may take the form of anxiety or stress, frustration or exasperation, sadness or joy, or a combination of all of those during the process. These are normal and expected feelings that Jane and I are sensitive to when we see them arise in our clients.
No matter how normal they are, we feel strongly that our duty and responsibility to our clients is to not get caught up in the emotions. You are looking to us for advice and recommendations throughout the process, and we try to keep emotions from distorting good decision-making.
We know buyers will fall in love with a house when they find the right one — but there are many steps between seeing a house and getting the keys in hand. Sellers almost always feel some anger, angst, or outrage when the inspection reply comes back. Regardless of the situation, our job is to help keep emotions from creeping in.
Does this mean we are cold and unfeeling? No. Our experience — in real estate and in life — has taught us that patience, restraint, and a level head yield better results. We discuss acceptable and unacceptable outcomes and develop a position from which we represent and defend our clients’ interests.
As the poem “IF” by Rudyard Kipling reminds us: “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…” In life’s transitions — and especially real estate — that level head matters.
— Vince & Jane
