pennsylvania: Valley Rd Foreclosure in Paoli Tredyffrin Township PA - 02/06/09 02:11 PM
Note: Property now has accepted agreement.
Now we move up quite a bit in price level from the Union Ave Lansdowne Upper Darby foreclosure.  As I mentioned when looking at the Union property, foreclosures do come in all price ranges and conditions.  Whether the property is worth $10,000 or $10 million, if the owner has financial difficulties, the home can become a bank owned property.  This is another of those cases.
Valley Rd is a custom home foreclosure situated in Paoli, PA Tredyffrin Townshipon 2.6 acres being offered for $599,900 (just reduced!) and currently listed by Danielle Mateu. 
This is a 4 … (0 comments)

pennsylvania: Union Av Foreclosure In Lansdowne Upper Darby PA - 01/31/09 09:21 PM
Note: Property Now Has Accepted Agreement
Almost every discussion we have today in real estate eventually turns to short sales and bank owned properties.  We've all heard the radio ads and the cocktail chatter of finding your dream home for $29.99 per month with no money down.  The reality can be quite different.  Yes - there are some great values out there but the great prices often simply reflect the condition.
As in every market, the suburban market just west of Philadelphia does have its share of foreclosure listings.  The condition of these bank owned properties run the gamut from move-in … (0 comments)

pennsylvania: Split Level Homes on a Comeback - 01/17/09 08:26 PM
Times change, styles change, but in time everything old is new again.  In architecture, we see the same cycles.  After reaching a peak of popularity a half century ago and then falling out of favor, split level homes in the area are now again receiving increased attention.  It's time to take a second look.
Beautifully Updated Split Level Home Throughout the fifties and sixties, the Philadelphia PA and Delaware suburbs experienced a tremendous amount of growth.  One of the primary style beneficiaries of this growth was the development of the split level home.

pennsylvania: Take the Long View (in Suburban Philadelphia) - 12/08/08 04:18 PM
The numbers don't add up.
After reviewing the November statistics in Delaware County Pennsylvania, just west of Philadelphia, there is really not enough local sales activity for the numbers to indicate any clear trends.  Depending on the area/township viewed, you could demonstrate the market moving in almost any direction desired.  Normally, you can look at detailed statistics at the township level and generalize for the county and vice versa - not accurate at this point.  So now it is probably better to look at the bigger picture.
The important dynamic here is "How is the overall market doing?", "What impact has the overall … (2 comments)

pennsylvania: History & Convenience in Wallingford - 12/05/08 08:25 AM
It's really no wonder that Nether Providence, Pennsylvania (aka as Wallingford) was ranked in the Top Ten Places to Live by Money Magazine in 2007.  It really is an ideal combination of location, schools, and proximity to all that the area has to offer.  Housing is affordable, the schools are great, and it's only twenty minutes from downtown Philadelphia.  In addition, although it does not have a downtown, it is immediately adjacent to the thriving county hub of Media. 
The real estate market is diverse here - from small condos to large estates.  It was also one of the earliest areas to be … (1 comments)
