Main Line Pa Homes For Sale Absorption Rate Report


Radnor Township Real Estate, Haverford, Lower Merion and Upper Merion Townships Real Estate Absorption Report February 2009

The Main Line Pa Real Estate Absorption Rate Report comparison FebruaryAbsorptionRateMainLinePaToday.com 2008 to February 2009. Comparing  our four Lower Main Line Pa area Townships (Radnor, Haverford, Lower Merion and Upper Merion) for the Months Supply of Inventory, Days On Market, Residual Inventory (backlog) and New Listings On Market.

Things To Do A Chester County Walk In The Park


Chester County Pennsylvania~A Walk In The Park

Spring and the official Vernal Equinox , arrives March 20th 2009, and not a minute Johnny Jump Upstoo soon, in my opinion, and yours too I imagine. These charming Johnny Jump Ups can be found along a path as one of our earliest signs of Spring together with Crocuses and Forsythia. Even in December if it’s warm, but not this year.  If planted in a protected area, they’ll often reseed themselves.

A visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a great way to begin your Spring walking.  Cezanne and Beyond – A Century of Great Artists Philadelphia Museum of Art – You will see more Cezanne and the artists Cezanne influenced, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art than if you went to Paris up to May 17th. This is an outstanding opportunity. Adults $14, Seniors $12, Children 12 and under Free.

*Birds chirping, a warm sunny day, Spring senses stirred and I begin to hear the call of the countryside. Chester County Pennsylvania Countryside to be specific. No one does a day in the country better than Chester County Pennsylvania.

*Try Longwood Gardens where you stroll either indoors or outdoors when you hear the call of Spring early as I do. Also, Valley Forge National Park has many places for a Spring walk, both natural and paved (keep in mind the Valley Forge Road Bridge closing for detours into the Park) .
