Debt Ceiling Crisis Hindering Philadelphia Real Estate Market

On Friday a client of mine who has already identified the home he wants to purchase and negotiated favorable price and terms decided to take the weekend before finalizing his agreement of sale to see if the debt ceiling is raised.  This lends credence to the argument I’ve been making all week that some economic damage has already been done by way this issue has been handled by the White House and Congress.  Even if our credit is ultimately not downgraded prudent individuals, probably in all walks of life not just real estate, have held off making purchases or hiring employee in order to see how this plays out in Washington. Given the drastic financial, economic, and employment consequences their caution is certainly understandable.
