tredyffrin: Chesterbrook properties selling quickly - 03/11/13 04:55 AM
In the past few weeks I have posted several blogs about the lack of inventory and how this is affecting the housing market and pace of homes going under agreement in our local Philadelphia Main Line Market and surrounding communities. Chesterbrook is one of those communities being about 30 years old and well located in Tredyffrin Township it has single family homes, townhomes and apartments. Chesterbrook homes carry a Wayne address although as stated they are in Tredyffrin Township and part of the Tredyffrin Easttown School District.

Recently the townhomes have been selling at a very fast clip, with many homes … (0 comments)

tredyffrin: Acupunture on a dog? Devon Vet more than just traditional methods! - 02/15/13 05:29 AM
If you need a vet in Devon, PA there is only one place, Devon Veterinary Hospital on Lancaster Avenue, a state of the art facility with great vets and staff who are true animal lovers and make you feel like one of the family. There is always a snack/treat for dogs, and they board cats and dogs if needed. The walls are adorned with some cute art:

I had the chance recently when our business association Berwyn Devon Business and Professional Association held an event at Devon Vet to tour the facility and to see the treatment and operating rooms.

tredyffrin: Are you looking for an investment property to buy? - 01/09/13 02:38 AM
 
We list many properties along the Main Line. Some are obvious properties for investors, that is someone who is going to hold the property and rent it out over a period of time as opposed to being a real estate speculator who is simply doing a rehab and re-selling the property for more money.
Sometimes, a property is listed that is not an obvious property to buy for investment, such as a single family home, for which there is a lot of demand in the rental market, or for a condo either one bedroom or two.
Locally we have Old … (0 comments)

tredyffrin: Single Family homes in Main Line Townships not out of range for buyers - 01/08/13 12:28 AM
Single family homes in many Main Line Townships have the reputation for being out of the range for first time and repeat buyers, but is this really true?

I pulled up this morning three homes in Tredyffrin, Easttown and Radnor to see what the lowest price home might offer. Many first time buyers desire to be in one of these townships because of the school districts, Tredyffrin and Easttown share T/E school district and Radnor obviously has the Radnor School District which covers homes in the following postal addresses, Radnor, Wayne, some of Villanova, Rosemont and Bryn Mawr.
Whilst the cheapest … (0 comments)

tredyffrin: 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.

tredyffrin: They'rrrreee Back - 09/25/11 03:32 AM
The Canada Geese are back, out walking this morning, I snapped this photo...with the mist across the field and the geese feeding it made me realize Fall is here.

One of the joys of living on the Main Line is we are surrounded by parks and open spaces allowing nature to live around us, deer, foxes, raccoons, groundhog, squirrels, all sorts of different birds sometimes they can be annoying, the deer especially, but it doers allow you to stop and enjoy nature right in your own back yard, sometimes literally.

tredyffrin: Main Line Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) - 09/13/11 08:23 AM
The Main Line to the West of Philadelphia is a prime area for real estate, and even in today's challenged market. Many home owners in these western suburbs have owned their homes for may years and whilst their equity has reduced they are still in what many call an "Above Water" situation, owing less or nothing on their homes compared to what is due if anything to a mortgage company. What is important for many of these seniors is making sure that the mortgage company has filed a letter of satisfaction that shows not only that the mortgage was paid off … (0 comments)
