The 2026 "Spring Market" Has Already Arrived
Traditionally, Johnstown homeowners wait for the blossoms of April to put a "For Sale" sign in the yard. However, in 2026, the data is telling a different story.
In the 15905 zip code (Westmont, Southmont & Upper Yoder Twp), we are currently witnessing what I call The 10-Day Rule. High-quality, well-positioned homes in Westmont are going under contract in as little as 10 days—frequently before a second weekend of showings can even occur.
Why is February the Strategic Choice for Westmont Sellers?
Many homeowners assume that waiting for "Spring" means more buyers. While buyer volume does increase in April, so does your inventory competition. By listing in February, you position your home in a high-demand, low-supply environment.
-
Focused Relocation Demand: I am currently seeing a surge in relocation professionals, particularly medical staff joining the Conemaugh Health System. These buyers are searching now to be settled before summer.
-
Serious Buyer Motivation: Cold-weather buyers aren't "window shoppers." They are pre-approved, motivated, and ready to sign.
-
Inventory Scarcity: Right now, buyers in Westmont are competing for a limited number of homes. This scarcity is the primary driver behind the competitive offers we’ve seen recently near the Westmont Hilltop Schools and Sunnehanna Country Club.
