Easttown Township new construction opportunity

Tue, 15 May 2012 10:24:33 -0700

Today, there are fifty five homes on the market available for purchase in the award winning Tredyffrin Easttown School district, rated as having the 3rd best high school, Conestoga in the state, that are priced over $1,000,000. These are all luxury homes, with the majority of the highest priced homes being in Easttown.

Easttown has always been considered the more expensive of the two townships, but there are locations in Tredyffrin that command multi-million dollar prices, such as lots on Valley Forge Mountain and close to Valley Forge National Park.

However, as mentioned above, Easttown Township has generally been considered the place to build a luxury home, the only problem being find a location to do that. Well this once in a lifetime opportunity exists on S. Devon Ave in Devon.

This is the first time this land has been offered for sale and it can be purchased in one of two ways, either with a builder tie in and approved plans or without any builder tie in.

With the builder tie in on 6.7 acres you can purchase the lot and home for $6,395,000. Located in the estate section of Devon and never been offered before this is an opportunity of a life time to build a custom home in one of the best locations in the area. Offered by Long and Foster in Devon this home allows the potential buyer the opportunity to be involved from the beginning with the plans, finished and design of their home.

Alternatively, you can purchase the lot without a builder tie in for $1,430,000 and then you choose your architect, your builder and are responsible for all the costs of development of the home. If you know a builder and architect, this may be the way you want to move ahead once you have walked the land and decided if this is the lot for you.

Devon originally was home to the Devon Hotel, golf course and polo grounds, a location for center city residents to get out of the city using the new train line and spend time in the country away from the heat and dirt of Philadelphia. Now home to the Devon Horse Show located on Lancaster Avenue, next door to Waterloo Gardens a well known destination for those interested in sprucing up their yards. Devon Station allows quick access to downtown Philadelphia, but there are also many office developments close by in Berwyn and Wayne that offer upscale office space for any business. Long & Foster provides selected market reports, one of the local reports for the Devon area gives statistics on housing and units sold.

Many well known chefs have opened restaurants in Wayne and the surrounding towns and villages providing excellent destinations for those looking to eat out in the area. So, if you are looking for new construction opportunities along the Main Line this lot in Devon may just be the one for you. Call me and we can set up an appointment for you to see this fabulous location.

Interesting historic home currently for sale in Tredyffrin Township

Mon, 14 May 2012 14:12:48 -0700

This home in Tredyffrin is of more interest, and I think one of the more interesting homes currently for sale. There are not many properties remaining for sale today with the history and the land that this home has available for it's next buyer at a price, $1,599,000, that really is a bargain in today's market. If you are looking for a home that is a little different, has today's modern amenities, but with historical perspectives that will allow you to place antiques and classic furniture in the home then this property is for you. Admittedly the location is a challenge, historic homes nearly always are located in places that used to be convenient for travel; development around them can change what once was a bucolic setting. The location of this home on Duportail Road close to the southbound entrance to Route 202 can be viewed as convenient or seen as a nuisance, but with the price taking this in to consideration it provides a wonderful opportunity for a savvy buyer. Anywhere else in either township and this home would be priced at a significantly higher level. So check out these details and photos and let me know what you think.

Circa 1770 Berwyn's hidden historic treasure situated on 4.8 acres of lush grounds. This truly one-of-a-kind enclave includes 6 BUILDINGS! 1)MAIN HOUSE has 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 5 working fireplaces, formal dining and living room, screened-in porch perfect for al fresco dining, maintenance free deck with awning overlooks back yard great, original cherry hardwood floors, custom eat-in kitchen has gas burning fireplace, granite, sub-zero refrigerator, 2 cook tops, double ovens;

2)1 bedroom CARETAKER COTTAGE situated over a separate over sized 2 CAR GARAGE; 3)SPRINGHOUSE converted into an "authentic pub" with home theater, gas fireplace and full bath make for wonderful year round entertaining; 4)COACH HOUSE could easily be converted into a pool house or potting shed;

5)STONE BANK BARN built by William Penn 6)2ND-2 CAR GARAGE is fully outfitted for an automotive aficionado. Complimenting the property is a 50 x 22 foot inviting heated custom in-ground POOL with attached SPA surrounded by flagstone decking.

Curb appeal that elusive quality

Fri, 11 May 2012 12:04:13 -0700

It is said it takes people about ten seconds to size up another person and decide if they will like and or trust them. Often when out with buyers, it can seem they make a quicker decision than that about a home you take them to see.

Walking through my own neighborhood, with many homes built at the same time and being a similar model, one home can be appealing another not so much. If you ask me what it is about a certain property that attracts or repels I can probably tell you some specific things, but many times it is how a property makes you feel and that is hard to quantify.

I asked several friends recently what they thought creates curb appeal and the responses whilst varied, were pretty consistent.

Lawn mowed
Flower beds edged
Weeds pulled
Pet "land mines" cleaned up
Front door painted a bright color
Flower pots with bright flowers by the front door
Peeling paint scraped and freshly painted, shutters secured tightly
Driveway repaired and freshly seal coated
Gutters cleaned
Downspouts attached correctly
Roof cleared of debris
Toys put away
Trash cans out of sight

These are the logical things we know. The illogical feelings that cause us to like a property cannot be explained, maybe it is the colors used, the way the sun falls on the house, the trees in the yard, the shade they throw, the setting of the chairs to the side of a house on a patio or on a porch. Who knows what it is exactly, but often a home either has it or not and it does affect the price a homeowner receives for their house.

When a buyer falls for a house, they give logical reasons, but so often it is illogical emotions that drive their reasoning. Remembering this can help you obtain maximum price for your home with the way you prepare it and stage it.

Open Houses today

Sun, 06 May 2012 08:06:43 -0700

Many agents are quick to dismiss Open Houses believing they are used more to generate buyers for the agent than actually selling a home that is Open. Over the last couple of years we can point to open houses being the reason the majority of our listings have sold. With 93% of buyers looking on line and many of them not having an agent, many turn up at an Open House to check out a listing they have seen on line. Often they already know of an agent, or have been reccomended and agent by a friend, so this is not a matter of acting as a dual agent but helping our listing client have their property seen by the most potential buyers.

I have also noticed over the last year, that many agents are not holding a Broker's Open preferring to just hold Public Open Houses at weekends. Again this reflects the greater use of the internet by buyers today.

So, today we have two homes open to the public. One is in Paoli on Foxwood Lane. 528 Foxwood Lane is an end unit town home, on four levels, it has a finished walk out basement with lots of storage space as well, and a finished loft area that is the fourth bedroom or could be used as a home office. The main floor has a den, living room and dining room and kitchen with a powder room, all arranged well for entertaining allowing a good flow for guests around the space. The second floor has three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and walk in closet, and also has a laundry area making it convenient not having to carry laundry up and down the stairs. This home is in the Tredyffrin Easttown School district and is close to downtown Paoli with grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops, Amtrak and Septa R5 station for access to Philadelphia and New York and Washington. Currently priced at $258,888 this home has a lot of space for the money. Open from 2-4 today.

In Malvern we have a Charlestown Oaks home open today at 121 Tudor Court, Malvern, PA 19355. Located on a cul de sac, this home has not one but two gas fireplaces, one in the living room and the other in the family room next to the eat in kitchen with granite counters. Three bedrooms, one en suite with walk in closets and a princess balcony overlooking the family room as well as a laundry area give a well designed second floor. This home also features a two car garage entering the house into the finished walk out lower level. The kitchen has a slider to a large deck. The community has a tot lot and tennis courts as well as jogging trails. Located minutes from Exton, West Chester or King of Prussia in the Great Valley School District this home priced at $329,990 is great value with hardwood floors through out the main level. Open 2-4 pm.

Home!

Fri, 04 May 2012 08:05:04 -0700

I was thinking about my mother this week who died just about two years ago. You know how thoughts go, you start in one place and end up in another. Last year we visited England and my home town. there is that word, HOME. It got me thinking about what home means to me.

Firstly, following the deaths of my sister a few years before my mother, and my mom, my home town did not feel like home. My brother lives like I do in America. It really surpirised me to think about this feeling this week that the town felt empty, even with all these people walking around, some of whom I knew, but no longer did I feel that connection, a reason to be there that I used to when my Mom was alive. It felt strange.

I used to travel a lot for my work before I became a Realtor, and always looked forward to coming home. Home is more than a house, it is where your family is. When you buy a house, you make it your home. Through the events, the decoration, the memories, the parties, the friends, the neighbors, etc. you craft a story, or rather a history.

When you arrive home, there is a feeling of being able to relax, a feeling as the English like to say that the drawbridge is up and we are safe within the castle. You create the energy that is in your home, be it good or bad. There are certain points in a journey home where you start to feel that gravitational pull of your home. Sometimes it is still a long way off, but it just feels like you have arrived as you pass a particluar spot or landmark and you begin to relax and unwind from the stress of the journey, you start to think about home and how relaxing it will be when you walk through the door.

We have moved country, moved towns, and moved houses many times, not as many as some but a good amount. Friends have always asked me if I felt I had left my home behind. My answer was usually, home is where my wife and boys are. Whether the house was big, small or in between, owned or rented, home was where we all gathered, shared our stories of the day, could lower our guard and expect our family to listen and come to our aid when we needed it, give that hug or receive a hug depending on the need.

So make a home, and enjoy the benefits, it is much more than just living in a house.

Is There Value in Staging A Home Before You Put It On The Market? I Just Don't Know, What Do You Folks Think?

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:18:09 -0700

To offer or not to offer that is the question?

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:47:53 -0700

Buyers are out in force, new listings are coming on every day this Spring along the Main Line and when a buyer finds a home that meets their list of requirements the next question is "To offer or not to offer". Some buyers don't want to compete with others feeling it will encourage them to pay too much. Some don't want to offer because it is the first home they have seen. Some want to just wait, in case they reduce the price.

Several times in the last few weeks I have heard of properties that have received multiple offers, some have not gone under agreement as buyers have not made an offer enticing enough even in a multiple offer situation to encourage the seller to say "Thank you, yes I will accept your offer." Some have sold for over the asking price, if their Realtor is smart these will have an appraisal contingency to ensure that the buyer is not forced to go to settlement if the home does not appraise for the full price.

What I don't understand right now is not making an offer if a home meets your list of needs and wants. Yes, more homes are coming on the market, but if this home meets your needs make an offer. You know your price limit, so stick to it, it does no damage to you or your credit to make an offer.

Your terms may very well be more acceptable to the seller. As I have said many times before, an offer is more than just the price. Whilst this is a large part of the make up of an offer, the settlement date, days for inspection, financial background of one buyer over another can all make a difference to a seller.

With interest rates still holding close to historical lows, and not looking as if they will drop further, if a home meets your wants and desires make an offer and lock in your rate. If there are multiple offers don't be put off, consider what is a fair price and make an offer.

Multiple offers? Yes. Full price? No! It is not always about price.

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:49:07 -0700

In the last week along the Main Line I have made an offer on a home for a client, and visited two other listings where I learned that each had multiple offers. These were different townships and different price points. Buyers are out and active. But, what I am noticing from homes that are settling is that buyers are not offering full price, even where multiple offers are happening.

Sellers have definitely got a better handle for the market and are pricing their homes accordingly, but buyers are very wary still of making full price offers and are holding firm on price offers, preferring to walk away and wait for something else than be forced to pay full asking price in this market.

So if you want that coveted SOLD sign in the front yard, be willing to negotiate, however well priced your home is in your opinion. We have seen sellers time and time again refuse to negotiate a first offer only to accept something much less later in the life of the listing. If buyers are making an offer, they are serious about your home, if multiple offers come in and all are below asking, the market is telling you something that you need to hear. Even if you get a full price offer the home still needs to appraise for that price.

Whereas buyers are looking at multiple properties and comparing attributes of each and considering prices of these homes, sellers often after that initial discussion of listing price, don't want to see what else is on the market. But as a seller you should be looking at all homes, even if on line, that come on the market and are competition for your listing. You need to be price comparable, and also to be the home that offers the best value at this time.

Whilst the economy is improving, many feel it is still anemic, and are concerned if it will continue, so don't waste that chance of making the sale to hold out for an extra $5-10,000.

As I explain to many buyers and sellers there is far more to an offer than just price, all the terms of the offer are important, settlement date, inspections, time for inspections, mortgage contingencies, type of mortgage, amount being put down and buyers financial position to name just a few. For example, if you have a home being built and it will be ready in August, you decide to put your current home on the market now for sale as it might take some time to find a buyer. But in the first week of the listing, the home is priced at $390,000, even if a buyer offers you cash and willing to pay $450,000 but with just two weeks to settlement, you most likely will say no and negotiate a different set of terms because your new home will not be ready. So, it is not always about price. There are the inconveniences of moving that also need to be considered and factored into any offer.

Good luck, the market is improving, especially along the Main Line.

What do you do when you see one of THOSE bathrooms?

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:18:27 -0700

What do you do when you see one of THOSE bathrooms along the Main Line? You know the ones, they date from the 50's and 60's, they are well tiled, but the colors? What were they thinking? Even if you choose a retro look, most people want black and white, not grey and pink, or yellow and turquoise, or pink and turquoise. There are other combinations as well, some work better than others, what horrendous color choices have you seen? They can be so embarrasing that you just don't want people to even use them if they come over.

Some color combinations are usable, yellow and black, for example, but if you just can't accept the colors you got in that Main Line home that meets every other item on your wish list, and you don't have the funds to remodel the bathroom in question an easy fix might be to re-glaze the tiles and the bath.

We actually had a situation like this in our home, the hall bath was blue, and turquoise, most of it as we had boys we could live with, but the bath itself, was just too much. So we re-glazed the bath, it took one day and some time to dry, but that white bath worked a treat. When the kids all moved out we re-tiled with some subway white tiles and repainted the room, not quite a complete remodel but workable.

You can re-glaze tiles as well as a bath, some points to consider though are, the glazing will chip, and when you glaze tiles they glaze the grout as well, so make sure it is all in good condition before you start. One of the things that make this such a good choice is that these old bathrooms were just done so well, the tiles and floors were laid in such a fashion that there are few if any complaints if they are in good condition.

A cheaper alternative to a complete bathroom remodel and if you change up the vanity and the toilet, most people would not know you chose a cut rate method to update the look. A few tastefully chosen towels and other accessories and you will have a bathroom that you won't mind people using.

Have you discovered Houzz.com?

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:41:39 -0700

I know, I know another website on which to waste time, but this is so related to our business, homes. If you get a moment check out Houzz.com, it feels in a small way like Pinterest, but is all about houses and homes. Photos posted are all house related and you can form an ideabook that contains the photos you like and that speak to you and why.

I have been using both Pinterest and Houzz recently, actually posting things from Houzz on my Pinterest boards and then realized it was just easier to start my own ideabook on Houzz.com.

And do those photos rock, architects, builders etc have been posting there. There are homes and ideas here for specific rooms, living room, dining room and for styles Mediterranean, Traditional, Contemporary etc. There seem to be endless photos on here and you will find it is easy to lose time just watching it being sucked away from you as you peruse these photos. But if you are looking for ideas, some of these may be the inspiration you need.

They also have pages of local suppliers, so if you are a contractor, designer, etc., you should register.

Specific products are featured as well, some really cool things, again too many to mention. So go on check it out, I know you will enjoy it. Just don't blame me when it becomes an addiction hanging out on their pages.

Are you thinking of living on the Main Line, PA?

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:34:39 -0700

Are you thinking of living on The Main Line? I wrote this blog as a guest writer for Dale Siegel on her blog Diaries of a mad mortgage broker

Devon is part of the Main Line to the west and north of the city of Philadelphia. Perfectly located with easy access to many major road and train routes, both north and south, and east and west with a well developed International airport it has become home to many National and International Corporations.

Before the 1600’s Lenni Lenape Indians called this area their home. In the 1600s William Penn sold land to a group of Welsh Quakers for ten cents an acre, not a price we see today.

The Main Line proper is a line of communities extending northwest from the City ofPhiladelphia. TheMain Lineoriginally referred to a water line which serviced particular areas. It later became known to represent the communities along the Pennsylvania Railroad mail route, now Septa’s R5 regional rail train line.

The Main Line Railroad was constructed during the nineteenth century and traveled through the area fromPhiladelphia toHarrisburgandPittsburgh. The railroad is still in service and is used by both SEPTA and AMTRAK. At the time, the Railroad owned much of the land surrounding the tracks and encouraged the development of this picturesque environment. The construction of sprawling estates attracted the wealthyPhiladelphiaelite, many of whom had one house in the city and another larger "country home" on theMain Line.

Development is still under way pushing theMain Linefurther west I am sure we will see even these outlying areas being included at a later date. Many of these new and older homes are only short distances from train stations giving easy access to center city Philadelphia.

TheMain Lineis known for its multimillion-dollar Stone Colonial homes, exclusivity, and upscale shopping. TheMain Lineis also home to some of the best public and private schools in the state, and for its many small private colleges. Bryn Mawr College, Cabrini College, Eastern University, Harcum College, Haverford College, Immaculata University, Rosemont College, St Joseph’s University and Villanova University

The upper/upper middle class enclave outside ofPhiladelphia is featured in several novels and was the setting for the classic Hepburn/Grant/Stewart film "The Philadelphia Story" based on Hope Montgomery Scott and The Ardrossan Estate, parts of which are still intact today as a working farm.

Whilst not toally immune to the housing crisis Philadelphia's Main Line was one of the few areas that got off comparatively lightly. Not known for prices soaring, it settled back also at a more sedate rate which has allowed many homeowners to weather the storm of the last few years.

The area has the best of all worlds with Valley Forge National Park for hiking and recreation and King of Prussia Mall the largest shopping mall on the East coast both just minutes away. Many of the towns and villages along the Main Line also house excellent restaurants and bistros run or owned by world renowned chefs like Georges Perrier.

Every town and township along the Main Line has it hidden gems of homes and mansions. Prices can be going up on one street and one block away the prices are going the opposite way. Using a local realtor who knows their way around, down the narrow winding backroads and off the beaten track will help you find somewhere to call home.

Many first time buyers do find places to set down roots along the Main Line, sometimes it requires giving up some of their must haves, but the benefits reaped far outweigh what has been given up.

Our prices vary from township to township, however, The Main Line is one of the more higher priced places in the country and many people relocating to the area experience sticker shock at first and have to adjust the parameters of their searches. So I generally advise buyers even in this housing market to do their research and get used to the home prices in the area, like everywhere some developments are very desirable and carry higher prices than other homes and not understanding this can cause you to lose a home you love because you come in too low when making an offer.

I grew up just outside London, also to the north west of the city. When I moved here from England more than 22 years ago, the history, the landscape and the Welsh town names all gave me a feeling of comfort. It did not truly feel like a move away from home and everything I had known. The winding roads were normal to me, one thing I found odd was how every township would have the same street names and it took me a little while to get used to finding my way around but now I take it all in stride.

What does take getting used to especially for Europeans moving to Pennsylvania is the liquor licensing laws. Europeans are used to having liquor, wine and beer available in the supermarket and numerous wine shops along a village high street. Whilst Pennsylvania has improved, the laws do take some getting used to that beer is sold by the case from a beer store, that does not sell wine or liquor, you can buy a four pack from restaurants or delis, but liquor and wine can only be bought through the State Store System.

I have been a Realtor, joining my wife Trudy who was already one, for seven years. Both of us are Associate Brokers.

Why owners and tenants love Old Forge Crossing in Devon.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:52:19 -0700

Old Forge Crossing in Devon a condominium development of one bedroom, one bedroom and a den, two bedroom and some two bedroom townhomes is a highly desirable place to live. Located on forty plus acres it has some wonderful views, an active social community and is also located in Tredyffrin Township, part of Tredyffrin Easttown School District. I just listed a one bedroom home in here for rent and was there yesterday enjoying the beautiful weather and took some photos around the reflection pond. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them of some of the hidden spots around Old Forge Crossing in Devon.

One of the willows around the lake and creek.

Plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the birds and the view around the pond.

There is even a small waterfall, the sound of falling water is always relaxing.

One last view of the pond, there were even fish swimming along the creek and in the pond.
