Market Spotlight - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is a medium-sized city located in the State of Pennsylvania. It has a population of roughly 50,000 people, 36 constituent neighborhoods, and it's the 11th largest community in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture making it one of the older and more historic cities in the county there. Unlike some cities, Harrisburg isn't mainly just white or blue-collar, instead most prevalent is occupations that are a mix of white and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Harrisburg is a city of sales and office workers, service providers professionals, and there are especially a lot of people living in Harrisburg who work in office and administrative support. Many of them commute to a nearby city such as Baltimore because it's not that far away. Real estate is certainly less expensive in these outlying areas.

It's what we refer to as a tertiary market. It doesn't have the size or population big enough to make it what we call a tier-two market. It's more of what we refer to as a tier-three or tertiary market. Nonetheless, it is a stable and linear market. Nothing overly exciting. It is one of those markets that provide stability. I refer to it loosely like a blue-chip stock. With me are some of the team members that we work with out there. It's overdue but we want to talk about this market because there have been a lot of opportunities there. The properties that we have been moving in that market have been moving quickly. We have these guys perpetually out of stock. Demand is high from where we sit.

Let's talk about your local market because a lot of people are not only not familiar with the Pennsylvania market being way up there in the northeast but Harrisburg, where in the heck is Harrisburg? Tell us about your local market there.

We consider it South Central Pennsylvania. Four of our counties border the Maryland, Pennsylvania line. Harrisburg is a little bit north of York where our office is located. We’re about one hour and twenty minutes from Philadelphia, one hour from Baltimore, four hours from Pittsburgh and four hours from New York.
