Homes that sold across the Reading, PA metro went under contract in a median of 8 days, but the typical active listing in Berks County had already been on the market 36 days. That gap is usually made up of houses that are overpriced for their condition or need work buyers don’t want to take on.

Only about 14% of active listings had cut their price, which points to a market where buyers are still competing for good houses.

These figures describe the overall market, not your specific house. A cash offer is based on your home’s condition, the repairs it needs and recent comparable sales nearby.

Berks County situations we help with

Inherited homes, rentals, houses that need repairs, and owners facing a sheriff’s sale or tax claim sale.

Before you sell in Berks County

If you’re behind on property taxes, contact the Berks County Tax Claim Bureau to find out where you stand before an upset sale is scheduled. Ask your municipality whether a resale inspection is required, and check how the realty transfer tax will be split. We’ll walk you through our numbers so you can compare them with your other options.

Foreclosure, probate and property taxes in Berks County

Pennsylvania foreclosures are judicial. For many owner-occupied homes the lender must first send an Act 91 notice explaining the Homeowner’s Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program before filing. After a court judgment, the property is sold at a county sheriff’s sale. The process usually takes months, which gives you a window to sell first.

Estates are handled by the Berks County Register of Wills and the Orphans’ Court Division in Reading. Delinquent property taxes in most Pennsylvania counties are handled by the county Tax Claim Bureau, which can schedule the property for an upset tax sale. Pennsylvania also charges realty transfer tax when a house sells: 1% to the state plus a local share that is often 1% (some municipalities charge more).

This is general information to help you understand your options, not legal advice. Deadlines and procedures depend on your specific case, so talk with a local attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor about your situation.
