Frigid temperatures put the deep freeze on Berks Real Estate

If you think real estate was slow this week because of weather, you would be right. Starting out on Sunday with the Super Bowl, most clients were having parties; not open houses. Agents were inwardly relieved because they wanted to watch the game too. But sinking temperatures took their toll. Icy roads get showings cancelled, and new appointments are not made. It’s dead of winter folks, and Mother Nature doesn’t care if we have settlements scheduled, buyers anxious to see that perfect house, and sellers hoping for scheduled showings to take place – it snows anyway and the roads ice over despite our fervent prayers for sun and clear skies. Mid February – the bane of my existence. This weekend, though, we expect 50 degrees and melting snow, so take heart real estate lovers in Berks County. Better weather, more showings, more open houses and more sales are coming.
