NEWS & NOTES

Cindy Ridgway's Lower Merion and Narberth New Listing Tour:  Late October/Early November

11/8/2018

 
Time to catch up on Cindy's recent new listing tours. That a number of these have gone under contract so fast is pretty strong evidence that properly-priced homes are, very often,  moving quickly in this market. Even the ones that sold are worth a quick look just to see what's been out there lately, and generally where prices are. 

And one more note for those people searching for a new home: in competitive markets it is especially important to have an agent with experience in your target neighborhoods. If you need to be in the Lower Merion School District, you will be best served by an agent, like Cindy,  who is plugged into the area, with networks and contacts to get the latest info - sometimes before it's "out there".  A connected agent can help you stay up with what's on the market AND get the early scoop on what's about to hit.  Too often, we see frustrated people on Facebook, desperate for leads on unlisted homes, even though they "have an agent".

It's just common sense - if you want to buy a house in Penn Valley, (for example) an agent who primarily buys and sells in Philly or another area, no matter how good they are, is not going to be on top of the market and ahead of the market, the way a Lower-Merion-focused agent will be. Give yourself an edge, and be the one who scores that dream house!

Narberth Real Estate
33 Sabine Ave; Courtesy of Duffy Real Estate-Narberth
Just blocks away from Narberth Borough's wonderful downtown is this 1216 sq ft, 3 bed/1.1 bath twin, listed for $405K.  The corner lot includes  a private driveway and a detached garage. Crown moldings, hardwood floors, built-ins and a fireplace add charm to the home. Recent updates include, a newly painted basement and bedrooms, newer roof and heating, and some new electric.

At only half a square mile, the Borough of Narberth is a small place, with a pretty limited amount of housing stock.  Even more limited and exclusive is the availability of homes in the small, private community of Narbrook Park. There's not many of them and they don't hit the market very often.  For example, this 1426 sq ft, 3 bed/1 bath colonial has been in the same family for almost 95 years. A recent price reduction lowered the list price to $475K. It has all the classic features of a vintage home, and is ready for a new owner's updates. See the photos and details at: 34 Narbrook Park, Narberth, PA 19072.

Check it out at:  306 S Narberth Ave, Narberth, PA 19072.
