Cindy Ridgway keeps up with the local market by making weekly tours of new listings all around Narberth and Lower Merion. If you're trying to follow the market as a buyer or watching home values as a prospective seller, Cindy's notes can give you a head start on the process, and keep you up with the latest on the inventory. Here are some of the homes she toured this week. Cindy started her tour in her hometown Borough of Narberth, where she saw this 2651 sq ft, 5 bed/3.1 bath stone colonial listed for $635K. Narberth singles are commanding some pretty high numbers this year, so the fact that this one is not as "finished" as some of the others might make it a good value opportunity for buyers willing to put their own touches on a home. The location can't be beat, as the home is just a block from the train station and Narberth's wonderful downtown full of shopping and restaurants. See more at 119 Woodside Ave, Narberth. Halfway between the Wynnewood Valley Park and the South Ardmore Park, in one of Wynnewood's Penn Wynne neighborhoods, is this 1320 sq ft, 3 bed/1.1 bath brick colonial, listed for $419,900.

The local Spring market is well underway, and we've learned a few things. The pent-up demand for homes, plus the urgency to buy in Spring and close during summer vacation, has created a seller's market. Well-priced homes, especially those in certain price ranges, are inspiring bidding wars, with winning bids substantially above asking price. Like last year, homes that are "done" with new kitchens, baths and/or central air are commanding outsized premiums over houses that need updating. With interests rates still relatively low, buyers are showing a strong preference for taking on a larger mortgage over living through a renovation project. New construction or wholly renovated homes, in established neighborhoods, are particularly prized and especially competitive. Cindy's buyers and sellers have kept her plenty busy this Spring, but she's still managing to get out on tour to stay on top of the local inventory. Here are a couple dozen of the new listings she saw in the last two weeks. Many of them are already under contract, but it's worth checking them out if you want to start getting a handle on the current market. Cindy started her tour in Bala with this 7708 sq ft, 6 bed/4.2 bath colonial, listed for $1.25M. This home sits on over 3/4 of an acre, next to a wildlife preserve, with a patio and large deck out back, a driveway and attached garage. This home is relatively young for the area, at just 22 years old, and has some updated features like new kitchen counters, new roof, and new two-zone gas heat. The large master suite has a sitting room with a gas fireplace, and a tray ceiling in the bedroom. See more at: 116 Righters Ferry Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004.
