As Spring turns to Summer, the market has definitely slowed down. But there's always something new, even if there aren't as many, and Cindy hit a few of them on Monday and Tuesday. Here are some of her notes: Cindy's tour started pretty close to home with this south-side Narberth Borough twin. It's a partially updated 1337 sq ft, 5 bed/1 bath, listed for $424,900. The updates give the first floor a modern feel. Two of the five bedrooms are in the third floor - but with no bathroom up there, you may prefer to use those as offices or playrooms. See more at: 106 Merion Ave, Narberth. Next up was this 2528 sq ft, 5 bed/3 bath Colonial, listed for $679K. It sits on a nicely-kept third of an acre in a Bala neighborhood near Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd MS. Outside is a recently repaved driveway and an oversized one-car garage with storage. The home had a few updates in 2014, including the kitchen, a hall bath, and third floor bath. The pretty sunroom has a high ceilings and walls of windows. See the rest at: 40 Penarth Rd, Bala Cynwyd. On the other side of the Bala schools, in the Merion Park neighborhood, Cindy toured this 3164 sq ft, 4 bed/2.2 bath Colonial, listed for $739K. The eat-in kitchen has granite and stainless, and there's also a laundry area on the first floor. The finished lower level has a powder room. Out back, there's a pretty little yard, a shed, and a nice, newer flagstone patio. See for yourself at: 543 Hamilton Rd, Merion Station. You can' get much closer to the Rosemont train station than this 3230 sq ft, 6 bed/3.1 bath Colonial, listed for $899K. It has a nice slate front porch and back patio, with a driveway and attached garage. The kitchen has marble counters, stainless appliances and an adjacent breakfast room. The laundry is on the second floor with four of the bedrooms. The full basement is unfinished, but dry. See more at: 1437 Orchard Way, Rosemont. The last home on Cindy's tour was a quiet listing in St. David's. It's a 5 bed/4.1 bath, that will be listed soon for $1.899M. Contact Cindy for more info on this one.
Cindy did her usual new listing tour this week, getting the scoop on some new homes that might interest her clients. For the first time in a while, she managed to get her notes finished before any of the homes she saw went under contract. Maybe that's just coincidence, or maybe it's a sign that the market is slowing just a bit. In any event, let Cindy know if you see anything you like. Cindy's tour started on the north side of Narberth Borough, at a home right across the street from Sabine Park. This 3025 sq ft, 4 bed 2.1 bath is listed at $735K. Outside, there's a deck, flagstone patio, paver walkway and big, private driveway. Inside, the house has a number of renovations, including an updated kitchen, and all-new carpeting.

Check out the walls of windows and skylights that let in so much natural light. See this one for yourself at: 1930 Stoneridge Lane, Villanova.
Every week, Cindy tours new listings in and around the Lower Merion School District, and shares her notes here. There are fewer new listings at this point in the Spring market, as June is typically known more for closings than opens. But there are still homes hitting the market each week, and Cindy took buyers out to see a few of them this weekend.
