🏡𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🎉

When a former coworker of Mike’s reached out to us, she needed to relocate to the area quickly. With the start of the school year approaching and a new baby soon joining the family, there were some pretty important deadlines ahead!

She found the home she wanted, and we were able to secure it almost immediately. Everything was moving toward closing when, less than 24 hours before we were scheduled to close, unexpected financing delays surfaced.

Suddenly, what had looked like a straightforward finish became a race to get everything resolved in time.

Stephanie jumped into action and partnered with the closing company immediately to get things moving. There were a lot of phone calls, a lot of communication, and plenty of persistence behind the scenes. Closing day itself stretched much longer than anyone anticipated, but Stephanie kept pushing until, late that afternoon, we finally made it to the closing table and put the keys in our buyer’s hands. 🔑

We also want to give a special thank you to the seller and the seller’s agent. Their flexibility, proactive approach, and great communication throughout the transaction helped keep everyone moving toward the same goal.

And in the end, we got it done. ❤️

Now this family can settle into their new home with a new school year beginning and a new baby soon joining the family. There are a lot of exciting changes happening all at once, and we’re so happy we could help make this one of them.

Congratulations to our buyers! We wish your entire family so much happiness in your new home! 🏡❤️

🏡 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵?

Not necessarily.

Right now, more than 40% of sellers are cutting their asking price.

And the median list price this July was the lowest for any July in the past 5 years.

That's a pretty big shift from the market where sellers could name their price and expect multiple offers.

Today, there may be more room to negotiate than you think.

If you're buying, it could be worth taking a second look at homes you assumed were out of budget.

📩 Want to know how much negotiating room buyers have in our market? Send us a message and let's take a look.

Annville locals—we need your vote.

If someone were visiting Annville for the first time and only had one afternoon, where would you send them?

A favorite Main Street business? Quittie Creek? Lebanon Valley College? A restaurant or neighborhood stop people shouldn’t miss?

Share your recommendation below. We’d love to put together a local favorites list using answers from the people who know Annville best.

🎉 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🏡

This home had quite the journey to the closing table!

After hitting the market, it received three offers in the very first weekend. The sellers selected an offer, but before the agreement was fully ratified, circumstances changed and the parties did not move forward.

That meant getting the home right back on the market, just in time for another weekend of buyers to see it. And it didn’t take long! We received another fantastic offer, got the home successfully under contract, and made it all the way to the closing table.

The final result? $10,000 over asking price and a quick close! 🎉

We’re so happy for Stephanie’s sellers, who can officially put the sale behind them and enjoy their new home.

A special thank you to the buyer’s agent, who was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the transaction. We hope the new homeowners fill this home with just as many wonderful memories as our sellers made there over the years.

Congratulations to Stephanie’s sellers and the new homeowners! 🔑

Some places bring back a memory as soon as you see them. The Allen Theatre is one of those places in Annville.

What’s a movie you remember seeing at The Allen? Maybe your first movie there, a date night, or a family outing.

Tell us in the comments—we’d love to hear your memories.
