Building a home with enough space, in the right school district with a great commute time are some of the items at the top of a home-buying list. But, just as important for most, is the land on which their PA new home will permanently reside. Regardless of age and family size, the home site one builds on almost always plays a role in the final decision as to where to build.

Some are looking for oversized lots that offer the utmost in privacy. You may be looking for just enough room to enjoy the occasional barbeque and a swing set.

Pa new home sales on the rise.

Despite the still sluggish job market and conflicting economic news, there is no denying the fact that the PA new home market in the Northeast is trending upwards and quickly. According to an AP News report today, housing for the US shows a modest rise.  In fact, the Commerce Department released reports today indicating that May 2012 marked a 7.6 percent increase in new home sales from April 2012, making it the largest increase since April 2010 when the housing tax credit expired.

To top that off, sales in the Northeast increased 36.7 percent, the most of any region in the country. You may be wondering how such a thing is possible with little to no job gains. There are three main factors driving the increases. The first, low interest rates, offer buyers affordability unmatched previously. The second, low supply, ensures that there is no false inflation in the market. True supply and demand economics work here. And finally, historically low prices have proven that there is such a thing as a bottom to this housing market. Read More
