Cindy's tour this week started in the Borough of Narberth, and that market is still at a fever pitch. Well-priced homes are going immediately, often in multiple-offer scenarios. A couple of these newly listed Borough homes are already under agreement. The sub-$500K Narberth market continues to be especially competitive. Demand is high and inventory low all throughout Lower Merion, in several price categories. Here are a few of the recently listed properties that Cindy had the opportunity to tour. This large twin in South Narberth drew quite a crowd, and went under agreement quickly. The 4 bed/2 bath home has 2317 sq ft, on a Narberth-sized lawn. Listed at $425K, has an updated kitchen and refinished floors. The Chestnut Ave neighborhood is tough to beat, and this one is just a couple of blocks from the award-winning Merion Elementary.
