Hyper-Local Lancaster County Market Update + Inspection Contingencies, Deadlines, and Deals Falling Apart In this Rip Roaring Realtors episode dated March 2, the hosts share a hyper-local market update for Northern Lancaster County, noting very low inventory and multiple-offer situations in districts like Warwick and Ephrata, while Lancaster City has more inventory and slightly longer days on market; they also mention improving interest rates around the mid-5% to 6% range. The conversation focuses on Pennsylvania's buyer-favorable inspection contingency, emphasizing that inspections are not pass/fail, that buyers can terminate for any defect, and that missing contingency deadlines can put buyers in default and risk deposits. They stress using trusted inspectors, getting multiple expert opinions on issues like foundation walls, and keeping realistic expectations for older homes. They also recount a near-closing deal that collapsed seven days out, discuss common closing derailments, and preview an upcoming Nashville convention.
