This is a very stable area with a relatively slow turnover of properties, and it has not seen the steep rise and fall in prices experienced by some nearby home developments. Activity peaked in 2003/2004 when there were five sales each year and prices rose from an average sales price of $568,000 to $660,000. Since then prices have largely remained in the low $600,000 range. There were 3 sales averaging $628,000 in 2005, 4 sales averaging $666,000 in 2006, 1 sale for $740,000 in 2007, 1 sale for $510,000 in 2008, 1 sale for $675,000 in 2009 and 2 sales year-to-date 2010 averaging $631,000. Today there are 5 home on the market with an average list asking price of $632,000. No homes are currently under contract.
With it's great location, stable neighbors, and reasonable pricing, Cedar Grove Farms should remain a popular mid-price choice in Broomall for years to come. Activity should begin to pick up as real estate activity in general begins to turn around creating additional move up/down buyers in the region.
