Fraternity Home For Sale | Going, Going, Gone...

I have never seen such a strong sellers market in 35 years.

Buyers are bemoaning the shortgage of houses.

Even fraternity homes (the proverbial white elephant in real estate) are selling quickly.

A fraternity home on South Allen Street went under contract on April 23, 2021,  after just 14 days on the market.

I am watching this segment of the State College market very carefully.  I'm doing a deep dive. Watch for a report on this market soon.

What are the zoning restrictions that protect local home owners?

Who are the most likely buyers of these properties?

What on the horizon vis-a-vis future sales offerings?

I am going to follow this market segment very carefully. I created an organic "list" that will update automatically when new Greek houses come on the market. You can see that here. (There's just one property on that list at the moment.)

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them for you. (And if I do not know the answer, i will find out.)
