🔥 What’s Fueling the Shift in Mechanicsburg?

1️⃣ Mortgage Rates Are Still Too High

• The 7%+ mortgage rates are keeping buyers cautious—monthly payments are now 30%+ higher than just two years ago.
• First-time buyers are struggling to qualify, leading to fewer bidding wars.
• Buyers with cash or large down payments are dominating the market.

2️⃣ Sellers Are Pricing Too Aggressively

• 9.2% of active listings have had price cuts—that’s up significantly from last year.
• Luxury homes and overbuilt properties are sitting longer than ever.

🏗️ What New Developments Mean for Buyers and Sellers

Mechanicsburg is expanding fast, and these projects will shake up the market:

🏢 Silver Spring Station – A massive mixed-use development bringing new housing, retail, and commercial space.
🏠 Luxury Townhomes at Trindle Springs – High-end builds competing directly with older resale homes.
🛍️ New Retail in Upper Allen – More commercial growth means rising property values nearby.

💡 For Sellers: If you're near one of these developments, your home’s value is rising—but competition is, too.
