Tri-County Suburban REALTORS®

Happy Holidays from Tri-County Suburban REALTORS® and Suburban Realtors Alliance As 2024 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our members. This past year has brought significant change for the real estate industry, marked by challenges that required adaptability, and unity. Your tenacity and dedication have proven that we are more than just an association of professionals—we are a community committed to helping one another succeed. Reflecting on 2024, as an association, we broke records! This year we celebrated the largest graduating class of the Leadership Development Program, the highest number of applications for our annual Community Service Awards, saw the highest number of course enrollments from students at the Association of REALTORS® School, raised over $250,000 for the REALTROS® Political Action Committee, earned mentions across 25 different local and national publications underlining REALTOR® market knowledge and value, held monthly free seminars for hundreds of members, hosted national, regional and local speakers, experts, and more. Each of these milestones and more was made possible because of your engagement, passion, and dedication to advancing our shared mission. As we look ahead to 2025, we are inspired by the opportunities that lie before us to grow, innovate, and redefine what it means to deliver value in real estate. Thank you for your membership, your trust, and your commitment to excellence. May the coming year bring you continued success, meaningful connections, and new opportunities to thrive both professionally and personally. #ChesterCounty #DelawareCounty #MontgomeryCounty #RealEstate #Realtor #REALTORValue #RealtorAssociation #ChesterCountyRealEstate #DelawareCountyRealEstate #MontgomeryCountyRealEstate #Membership #MembershipMatters #MembersGetMore #2024WrapUp #HappyHolidays

Fewer people have been moving in recent years, but state-to-state migration has increased, according to Axios.  Most notably, a significant number of Pennsylvanians sought the Sunshine State’s warmer weather. Between 2018 and 2022, 31,700 left Pennsylvania to call Florida their new home. 🌴☀️🌊🍊 Following behind Florida, 25,874 moved next door to New Jersey, 23,281 moved to New York, 14,669 chose Ohio and 13,482 went south to Virginia.   However, although many have said goodbye to Pennsylvania, the Keystone State continues to welcome new residents from neighboring states. Pennsylvania was among the top states for movers from Maryland, New York and Ohio.  In 2022 alone, an estimated 262,700 Americans relocated to Pennsylvania, which was the ninth most popular state for movers. New York accounted for 44,807 of new Pennsylvanians, followed by New Jersey (40,517), Maryland (22,247), California (16,336) and Florida (16,014). 💥MEMBERS: With the assistance of Bright MLS, members can now access more data through MLS Search Partners.

Each year, Bright MLS releases a comprehensive Housing Market Outlook, offering insights into national and regional #trends across the markets it serves! The 2024 #housingmarket did not play out as expected, with slower-than-anticipated #sales activity and much faster home price #growth. #Mortgage rates remained higher for longer and inventory stayed tight, which suppressed some home sales. #Affordability became a bigger challenge for #homebuyers throughout the year. However, despite those affordability challenges and persistently high mortgage rates, home prices across much of the Mid-Atlantic rose quickly in 2024. The picture for the housing market in 2025 is changing, though the path forward is not necessarily clear. There are positive signs that #transaction activity will be higher in 2025; however, there are some #challenges. In addition, the 2025 Mid-Atlantic housing market will be characterized by different drivers in different markets, with some regions outperforming others. Click here for the full Mid-Atlantic Market Report, provided by Bright MLS: https://lnkd.in/e2n7Pufy What’s in store for markets across the U.S.?
