Coves Townhouses Market Report Bensalem Pa May 2015

Sales  Information contained here in has been obtained

from the local Trend MLS

It does not include private sales such as for sale by owners 

This information has been updated as of May 31,2015

 

Currently there are two active listings is the Coves Townhouse  Community

 

Both active listings are split level models  :  3BR 2.5 baths finished basements  above average condition approx 1520 sq  of living space 

 

Currently there are three pending sales in the Coves . If you read my blogs you know the rules . If you do not read by blogs I will explain.Why we do not discuss pending sales . They are not public knowledge . There are many things that may go wrong .  There could be a title issue a mortgage or appraisal problem . There could be a problem with the home inspection These are just a few  The buyer may have just decided not to buy. These are just a few reasons  why we do not discuss pending sales . best answer is it is not public knowledge until the deed is signed and keys are exchanged . This is what we call final settlement or SOLD .

There have not been any Settled Sold Sales  in the Coves since  June of 2014 .It was also a split level model appx 1560 sq ft. with a finish basement  $201,500  with a $9500  seller  assist to the buyer  it was said to be a diamond in the rough so it appears to have needed updating

Average Settled Price to Original Price Ratio: 104.95%
Average Settled Price to Last List Price Ratio: 104.95%

Median Settled Price to Original Price Ratio: 104.95%
Median Settled Price to Last List Price Ratio: 104.95%

 

It is my professional opinion that the Coves still remain to be a desirable townhouse development . The townhouses are spacious and have  not lost value . The living space inside is larger then some single family homes . They have a nice yard just big enough to manage and maintain  and most are fenced . There in not an association so owners are responsible for the  care and maintenance .Some have created lovely gardens .

Square footage range from 1560 sq ft for a 3 BR w/basement - 2204 sq ft without basement

Styles include split level models , straight through , and center hall colonials , with and without basements .

The townhouses in the Coves are located  off of Bensalem Boulevard and are close to Rt 13 I95 ,Us #1 ,and the Pa Turnpike . Easy access to Septa trains and buses . For information on Bensalem Schools click here school info

 

 The coves have keep their value and are a desirable townhouse development because of their size and location . At the  end of the development there is a play ground and Neshaminy Creek . It is a beautiful setting . The last row of townhouses have water views .

These townhouses are very spacious and are larger then some of the single homes in the area or the same size . This is why these owners do have trouble when looking for a single family home when leaving their townhouse . The age of these townhouses are appox 42 years old . You would be surprised to see how nice the upgrades are in some of these  homes . They have off street parking no garages .

Please call me if you are interested in buying or selling in Bensalem

Interesting that there is no HOA at The Coves Townhouse. Are there many communities like this in your area?
