New Hope homeowners, the market is still moving fast, and what I’m seeing locally is pretty eye-opening.

Demand remains extremely strong, and in many of our local markets, I’m seeing year-over-year price growth closer to 15%.

Here’s where it gets tricky...

If you Google year-over-year price growth for our area, you may see numbers more in the 6–9% range. That doesn’t necessarily mean the market is only up 6–9%. A lot of the public real estate data lags behind because it’s based on closed sales, and many of those transactions went under contract a month or two before they actually closed.

In other words, by the time the public data catches up, the market may have already moved.

I’m also seeing more homeowners rely heavily on their Zillow “Zestimate,” which is really just an algorithm. It doesn’t know your home’s condition. It doesn’t know the upgrades you’ve made. It doesn’t know the curb appeal, the layout, the finishes, or the details buyers are responding to in today’s market.

And honestly, I’ve seen some of these estimates very far off from reality.

So if you’ve been even casually thinking about selling, this may be a very good time to get a more accurate read on your home’s value.

There is a big shake up occurring in the real estate world.

In recent times, more and more properties are never being marketed to the public OR ALL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS! In New Hope, PA and the surrounding area, it’s very common for properties to be sold off-market.

Personally, I think this is bad news for consumers, whether you’re a buyer, or a seller.

For sellers, more exposure leads to more potential buyers competing for your property, which leads to better offers. However, I do understand why some sellers might like to keep things more discrete.

For buyers, just know that what you’re seeing online isn’t all of the available inventory. So if you’re serious about buying a property, you should seriously consider committing to a good agent, who can unlock more opportunities for you.

If anyone has any questions, or if you’re considering buying, selling, or both, I’m always happy to help!

Quick real estate story from this week.

I had buyer clients competing in a multiple offer situation for a turn key short term rental property. We went in with a clear strategy and just closed today.

What made this purchase especially interesting was not just the rental income potential, but the tax advantages that can come with short term rental properties when they are structured the right way. A lot of people are starting to explore them as a way to own real estate that can produce income while also creating some meaningful tax benefits.

I have actually been getting more questions lately from people around the New Hope and Bucks County area about how this works and whether short term rentals make sense locally.

Just curious. Have any of you ever considered owning a short term rental property?

If it is something you have thought about, feel free to comment or send me a message. I am always happy to share what I am seeing in the market and what strategies buyers are using right now.

Catch a Show and Stroll Main Street in New Hope

New Hope is more than just a destination for fall colors—it’s also a hub for arts, culture, and entertainment. October is the perfect time to enjoy it all.
Start your evening at the Bucks County Playhouse, a historic theater that has hosted world-class performances since the 1930s. From musicals to plays, its October lineup always offers something exciting for theater lovers.

Before or after the show, take time to stroll along Main Street. The town’s galleries, boutiques, and specialty shops are brimming with creativity and charm. October brings a lively energy, with visitors filling cafés and restaurants, many of which feature seasonal menus that celebrate the flavors of fall.

For those who want to make the most of their night, pair your theater trip with a walk along the Delaware River or even a late-night Ghost Tour for a fun twist.

New Hope’s mix of culture, shopping, and dining makes it a one-of-a-kind fall destination. Whether you’re local or visiting, October is the time to experience the town at its very best.

Looking for a full weekend getaway? Add a stay at a local inn or bed & breakfast to round out your New Hope adventure.

Explore New Hope’s Fall Foliage on Foot, Bike, or by Car

When October rolls around, New Hope becomes one of the best places in Pennsylvania to enjoy fall foliage. Whether you prefer a scenic drive, a peaceful hike, or a leisurely bike ride, there are countless ways to experience the beauty of autumn here.

For drivers, River Road (Route 32) offers one of the most picturesque routes in the region, winding alongside the Delaware River with bursts of color on both sides. If you’d rather explore at a slower pace, the Delaware Canal Towpath provides miles of walking and biking trails shaded by vibrant fall trees.

Nature lovers should also explore Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, a sanctuary filled with trails, meadows, and native plants that shine in autumn’s golden light. And just down the road, Washington Crossing Historic Park offers riverside strolls framed by colorful landscapes.

Each of these destinations provides a unique way to soak in October’s beauty. Whether you’re a photographer, a family out for the day, or simply someone who loves fresh air, New Hope delivers the perfect backdrop for fall memories.

Don’t forget to bring your camera—these autumn views are too good not to capture.
