Top Benefits of Choosing a Local Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Home

The number of homes for sale in the East Penn School District changes all the time. However, the number of houses for sale in the EPSD has consistently fallen from around 300 homes for sale in 2015 to about 40 houses for sale in 2023. Low housing inventory has been one of the most significant factors in the rapid increase in the cost of homes. In 2023 the average number of homes for sale in any given month in Emmaus was 10, homes for sale in Lower Macungie was near 25, homes for sale in Upper Milford was just under 15, and homes for sale in Alburtis and Macungie was frequently less than 5. So with these few homes for sale, it shouldn’t surprise you that just 86 Realtors listed and sold three or more homes in the East Penn School District.

Wesley Works Real Estate is proud to be in the top 5% of all real estate offices to list a house for sale in the East Penn School District, including being the number 1 office for listing homes for sale in Emmaus.

Statistically speaking, local markets are often described as regions or as counties. Think of headlines like, “Lehigh Valley homes now have an average sale price of $322,000”, yet, it’s unlikely that this version of “local real estate market” will give you a real sense of the value of your home. These local numbers are often produced by national franchises, less focused on specific real estate micro-markets in the area.

A true local real estate market should comprise the school district at the largest form, the municipality secondarily, and the neighborhood or street where the home is for sale as the primary. If you want to know what your home in the East Penn School District is really worth, talk to a real estate agent who predominantly sells homes in the East Penn School District. The Realtors at Wesley Works Real Estate are consistently in the top 1% of real estate agents listing and selling homes in the East Penn School District. 

When selling your home in the East Penn School District, choosing a real estate agent with deep knowledge of the area is an essential first step. Whether your property is in Emmaus, Lower Macungie, Upper Milford, or another nearby East Penn School District community, ensure that the agent has listed and sold multiple homes in this area. A local Realtor hyper-focused on homes for sale in the East Penn School District will have the comprehensive knowledge to make the sale of your home smoother but will also be able to get you the maximum value for your home. Many Realtors at Wesley Works Real Estate rank in the top 1% of all real estate agents in the East Penn School District and consistently have the highest average sale prices for homes sold in Emmaus, Upper Milford, and other East Penn communities.

Selling your home will likely be the largest financial transaction of your life, so there is a natural tendency to go with someone you trust, like a friend or family member. It makes perfect sense, but it could also mean you are leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. In fact, one of the most common reasons why homes sell for less than their actual value is that the real estate agent is unfamiliar with the hyper-local market, especially as home prices are rapidly increasing.   

Regardless of location, any PA-licensed real estate agent can analyze recent sales comps to determine a reasonable sales price. However, a local real estate agent with deep knowledge of the East Penn School Districts housing market will know the nuances of each municipality, neighborhood, and street and find the maximum value for your home. For example, homes for sale in Emmaus Borough are different from homes for sale with an Emmaus mailing address. Those homes for sale may actually be in Lower Macungie or Upper Milford and will likely have a different value.
