The Spring market gets all the press, but there's actually a good bit of action in the local Fall real estate market, too. If you're trying to keep track of home prices and inventory in and around the Lower Merion School District, you'll want to follow Cindy Ridgway's write-ups of her weekly new listing tours. She sees homes each week in Narberth, Lower Merion, and the surrounding areas, and compiles notes on some of them that look interesting to her or her clients. You can follow this series here, or on her Facebook page. First up on Cindy's tour was this 5186 sq ft, 5 bed/ 5.2 bath colonial in Bala, listed for $1.075M. The home sits on a half-acre lot, with a pool, just around the corner from the Bala Elementary and Middle Schools. The front door opens to a dramatic 3-story marble foyer.
