While it’s obvious that buying and selling real estate in Pennsylvania is an expensive proposition, you may not be aware of just how much home sales affect the economy in our state. According to the National Assocaition of Realtors, real estate sales accounted for 16.3% of the Gross Domestic Product in Pennsylvania in 2012.
Selling a home or piece of land puts money in more places than just the pockets of the real estate agents and sellers – there is a trickle-down effect that injects money into several related industries such as construction, lending, appraisal, moving companies, and many more. Real estate sales bring business to many more people than you’d think!
For each average real estate sale in Pennsylvania, the income generated by these supporting industries is $15,498, with consumers spending an additional $4,494 on things like furniture, appliances, and remodeling.
This means that for the average home sale in PA, with a sales price of $172,200, a whopping total of $51,113 in income is produced.
When you buy or sell real estate in Pennsylvania, you are doing more than paying an agent’s commission – you’re making a huge impact on the economy of our state. So if you’re on the fence about buying or selling because of the current market conditions, don’t let that stop you! By participating in real estate sales, you do a lot to boost Pennsylvania’s economy.
