The Main Line area outside of Philadelphia is hopping where real estate is concerned. Spring has sprung, it is here now, even whilst the snow sits on the ground. At all price levels homes are selling. Buyers are looking desperately for homes that meet their needs in the school districts they want to be in and the locations where they want to live.
Old Forge Crossing a forty acre condo development has seen several one bedroom units go under offer. Chesterbrook has seen townhomes selling in days with multiple offers, Berwyn, Devon, Wayne and Lower Merion all have seen homes selling quickly … (1 comments)

berwyn: Greens at Waynesborough market report January 2013
- 01/16/13 05:03 AM
As mentioned in several recent posts, the local market is suffering from a lack of inventory. In Chester County the inventory absorption rate has dropped to just over six months, implying if no more homes came on the market, every home currently on the market would take just over six months to sell. Whilst this is unrealistic it does indicate compared to last year when the rate was well above fourteen months how the market has changed.
This lack of inventory is well indicated by the recent statistics for the Greens at Waynesborough located in Berwyn in Easttown Township off route 252 … (0 comments)

berwyn: Berwyn Village Life reveals compassion and community spirit
- 02/21/12 02:04 AM
Living in the suburbs can sometimes make you feel invisible, but village life reveals that just because it is part of a suburb does not mean people are not caring. Berwyn, PA, sits astride the Main Line to the west and north of the city of Philadelphia in Chester County. Part of the Tredyffrin Easttown School district it is part of two townships, Tredyffrin and Easttown. The village sits on Route 30 between Devon and Paoli.
There have been a rash of events recently that make me realize this is a wonderfully strong community, with lots of community support. Over the … (0 comments)

berwyn: Just too much choice!
- 02/13/12 04:56 AM
Whilst I could be talking about the inventory of homes along the Main Line for buyers to consider, actually I am talking about where to go for Valentine's Day with your significant other.
Every village and town along the Main Line outside of Philadelphia is stuffed, literally stuffed with restaurants to go, most of them are good, some are excellent, with appropriate pricing. Most cultural tastes are catered for, there may be a lack of vegan restaurants but you can always find something to eat at either Chinese, or Indian. Whether it is Bryn Mawr, or Exton and all points … (1 comments)

berwyn: Berwyn Village, Pennsylvania 2012
- 02/07/12 05:47 AM
One of the things about living and working in a village is that it is always evolving, and Berwyn, Pennsylvania is no different. Straddling two townships, Easttown and Tredyffrin it is a beautiful place. From when you step off the train having travelled along the famed "Main Line" you can't fail but notice the friendliness of the surroundings.
But don't take my word for it, watch the video and then take some time to come visit.

berwyn: Opertation Twist brings mortgage rates down - is NOW the time to buy?
- 09/23/11 04:39 AM
The Fed launched Operation Twist this week and we are already seeing rates drop to levels many of us in the business have not seen in our lifetimes. But does that mean it is a good time for YOU to buy?
Everybody's situation is different as every home is unique, even condos and townhomes in a development, their individual location means that the view and the perspective is different for each home even if they are the same model. Likewise every person has a different situation, student loans, car loans, possibility of transfer, desire to start a family, getting engaged and … (0 comments)

- 09/13/11 11:51 PM
Fall is upon us, and although we have had a rough summer with earthquakes, small though they were, storms and torrential rain causing widespread flooding NOW is the time to prepare for winter. Winter may seem a long way off, temperatures may still be hot and humid, but now is the time to start thinking and planning what projects need to be completed before winter arrives.
Your home has probably taken a beating over the summer with al the storms. It may not be leaking right now, but get the roof checked for loose or damaged shingles. Winter storms tend to … (3 comments)

berwyn: John's Village Markets in Berwyn and Wayne
- 08/09/11 02:35 AM
Everybody has their own "favorite" hoagie or sandwich shop along the Main Line, ours has been John's Village Markets located in Wayne and Berwyn. We generally always went to the original store in Wayne on the corner of Poplar and N. Wayne Ave, set back just a little from the traffic light, with wood floors, a counter either side, nothing fancy, but wonderful hoagies, sandwiches and cold cuts. Family run, the place is always packed. Last weekend one of my sons, Simon was in town and he asked if we could get hoagies at John's, as he and his wife are moving back to … (0 comments)

berwyn: Change is not always bad
- 07/29/11 03:17 AM
We often resist change, fighting to maintain what we know and are comfortable with so that we can remain that way. Sometimes change happens quickly, sometimes slowly. I think when it is slower we can adapt and accept it better, but when it happens fast or we feel it is forced upon us we resent it and fight against it. Nature has some of its own changes, think of butterflies, I read a quote yesterday that there is nothing in a caterpillar that leads us to think of or see a butterfly.
I posted this photo on Wednedsay of a canna … (4 comments)

berwyn: What lies behind those shutters?
- 06/07/11 09:29 AM
I often talk about how you need to continually maintain your home, well as a Realtor it applies to us as well. We have needed to paint the exterior of the house for the past couple of years, but with several weddings last year we put it off. It is always a good idea to check your home inspection report to see what the inspector recommended needed doing, especially if you have been in your home for a while.
Trudy wanted the shutters down from above the garage, so we could get all the siding cleaned and painted and like … (0 comments)

berwyn: Lyme Disease is increasing - what to watch out for!
- 05/12/11 07:07 AM
Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection carried by ticks and transmitted to pets and humans by infected ticks. 2008 saw Pennsylvania with 3818 reported cases and the thinking is that there are many unreported and indiagnosed cases. Chester County being so rural and suburban makes it a prime habitat for ticks whcih can carry the Lyme Disease bacteria.

So what can you do, several things:Wear light colored clothing because ticks are easier to see and brush offWear clothing and a hat that covers the skin and tuck in loose pantsWalk in the center of trails to avoid … (1 comments)

berwyn: I think I finally beat those critters
- 04/14/11 02:39 AM
I love bird feeders and I love birds. I don't really know all their names and species, but I think they are delightful and above all I love the idea of flying. Oh to be able to fly, but I digress..... Birds love seeds, but we all know who loves seeds too. Those darn squirrels. I love to hate squirrels and I have, as I'm sure you have tried, to beat those clever little rats in anyway possible that I can think of from my bird feeders. I don't want to write about the different things I have tried, because I'm … (1 comments)
