to BuyNowInBerks.com, the home for the Reading-Berks Association of REALTORS® consumer awareness campaign about the health of the Reading-Berks real estate market.
Although national headlines paint a grim picture for real estate, Berks County is recognized as one of the country’s best locations* for real estate markets in the country. Berks is one of the most stable areas in terms of home appreciation values. We benefit from steady increases over the years and do not have the wide swings and steep declines that other markets experience.
In fact, new home sales in Berks rose 31% in May
(Reading Eagle / TREND MLS on June 25, 2008).
NOW'S A GREAT TIME TO BUY IN BERKS.
- Mortgage rates are at historical lows.
- Homes are holding their values, if not rising.
- There is a great selection of homes at a wide range of price points.
