NEWS & NOTES

New Listings and the Spring Market in the Lower Merion School District

6/9/2020

 
For years, Cindy Ridgway shared her tours of new listings in and around Lower Merion. However,  just like most industries in the region, the local real estate scene has gone through quite a few recent changes. There are currently no in-person open houses and broker tours, and individual showings have a number of restrictions and guidelines. For that reason, we've started including both homes we've been in, and also some good market examples that we've only seen in photo and video.

Fortunately, many of the recently listed homes have "virtual" tours that let you see the property through a guided video walkthrough. These video tours do a pretty good job of showing the homes (scroll down and check out some of them), but nothing compares to seeing them in person.  If you'd like to set up an in-person showing of any homes you see here, contact Cindy Ridgway to set it up for you. 

You'll notice that many of these listed homes went quickly under agreement. (They are included here not because they are available, but to help give an overview of where the market stands.) That's not uncommon these days, especially in some very desirable neighborhoods and price points, and especially in the case of homes that are new or extensively renovated.  Local inventory is very limited and interest rates are low.  That makes it a competitive situation for buyers, who benefit from knowing as soon as a house hits the market,  or even before, if their agent has a strong network of local sources.  Sellers with strong agents can take advantage of their extensive network, and maximize home value by attracting and negotiating multiple offer situations.

​If you need an agent in and around the Lower Merion School District, get Cindy on YOUR side.  Not only does she have the most Narberth home sales over the last six years (Bright/Trend 2014-2019), she also wins awards every year for her sales volume in the Lower Merion area.

1442 Hillside Rd, Wynnewood; courtesy of: BHHS Fox & Roach-Haverford
This Wynnewood home just hit the market this past weekend, and it's already listed as active under contract. It's a 3398 sq ft, 4 bed/2.1 bath, listed for $775K.  It sits on a big, landscaped  .44 acre tree-lined  lot, with a porch and pergola out back. The three-year-old kitchen still looks and feels new, while most of the house has a more classic charm, with plaster walls, flagstone floors, arched doorways and a slate roof. You may be too late to get thsi one, but you can still see the photos and details at: 1442 Hillside Rd, Wynnewood.

536 Kathmere Rd, Havertown; courtesy of: BHHS Fox & Roach-Haverford
Another one that went active under contract during its first weekend on the market is this 2200 sq ft, 4 bed/1.2 bath, listed for $499,900. What's not to like in this Havertown Colonial, with a covered front porch, fenced back yard and detached two-car garage?  The home is very well-maintained, and features an updated custom kitchen, ventless gas fireplace, charming built-ins, and a great mudroom/laundry room. There's plenty of storage in the partially-finished basement and the walk-up attic that has plenty of renovation potential. It's a great house that moved quickly.  See for yourself at: ​536 Kathmere Rd, Havertown

111 Fairview Rd, Penn Valley; courtesy of: BHHS Fox & Roach-Bryn Mawr
This big Penn Valley home is still relatively new, listed just eight days ago (as of June 10), but unlike the first two, it made it through its first weekend on the market!  It's a 6473 sq ft, 5 bed/4.2 bath, on a 1+ acre lot near Rolling Hill Park, listed for $1.449M. The first floor has a dramatic, high ceilinged entry foyer, formal dining and living rooms, an office, and a great room that opens to an updated eat-in kitchen. There's a loaded lower level, with a bedroom and bath, and plenty of living space. The home has a deck and walkout patio out back, and  three-car attached garage. See more details, photos, and even a video tour of the home at: 111 Fairview Rd, Penn Valley.

909 N Woodbine Ave, Penn Valley; courtesy of: BHHS Fox & Roach-Haverford
This Penn Valley home isn't a new listing, but it is still available, and it just had a price reduction. It's a 2734 sq ft, 5 bed/4.1 bath ranch, now listed at $669K. The ranch style may work for buyers looking that first floor master. If not, the big  lot may work for someone who wants to tear down and build new. It sits on a one-acre corner lot with a private driveway, an attached two-car garage, and a patio out back. A 2014 renovation included a new kitchen, a new lower level bedroom,  and two new baths. See more pics and details at: ​909 N Woodbine Ave, Penn Valley.

Picture
654 N. Ithan Ave, Bryn Mawr; courtesy of: BHHS Fox & Roach-Haverford
One that is still active after a week on the market is this 2932 sq ft, 5 bed/3 bath, listed for $749K.  It has extensive gardens on the 3/4 acre lot just around the corner from Harriton High School.  The first floor master is a sometimes elusive feature on the wish-list for buyers, as it's relatively uncommon in this area. Check it out at: 654 N. Ithan Ave, Bryn Mawr.
