Chesterbrook Real Estate Condo,Town Homes,Sold In Tredyffrin
A First Time Home Buyer called me about a recent Chesterbrook Sale. 
She asked me about the Chesterbrook Condo and Town Homes real estate market in Tredyffrin Township.
We sat down together to take a close look at the Chesterbrook Real Estate Market and the Tredyffrin Township real estate market for condos and town homes. The Median Prices Chart shows homes for sale and homes that have sold in Chesterbrook and in Tredyffrin Township. I plan to provide more Homes Sold Information to help home buyers and home sellers see that the level of market activity is greater here in Tredyffrin compared to news reports.

Home Improvement Investment Return

Home Improvement Chester County Philadelphia Main Line Area
The phrase that “All Real Estate Is Local” contains a lot of truth in Real Estate and especially for
our Pennsylvania, Chester County Real Estate and Philadelphia Main Line area. We have a varied mix of home styles and home price ranges sometimes within neighborhoods.
Each year Realtor Magazine together with Remodeling Magazine* publishes their Cost vs Value edition with statistics on resale value investment return. These are Regional differences but It’s also true that Chester County may differ from Delaware or Montgomery County or style differences between Single Family Homes or Town Homes.
Good Lighting Deserves More Home Improvement Attention
My clients seem to be most impressed with Kitchens and Bathrooms and often comment on Lighting. Lighting isn’t on the list but in my experience it should be. When a home buyer says, “It seems dark in here”, it’s not good news for the Sellers home I’m showing. Especially here in the Northeast. Good lighting can punch up the WOW factor for a modest investment!

Chester County Real Estate Market Report-Dodging The Tsunami
The Chester County Real Estate Market Report* for the end of the 4th Quarter December
2008 is a picture of a slow real estate market. Still a Buyers Market in Chester County with 16.5 months of inventory, but not a raging Buyers Market. This is a one year comparison between December 2007 and December 2008 unlike my previous two year comparisons.
Over 5,000 homes sold in Chester County last year, despite the pounding litany of negative and often shocking news. The real estate tsunami may have passed by this part of the Philadelphia Suburbs. We’re down but we’re not out. Yet. Read the rest of this entry »

First Time Home Buyer What Should I Ask For?
January 2nd, 2009 categories: A Realtors Life, First Time Home Buyers
What should I ask for in my offer to buy a house?
It’s a simple question. Deceptively simple. But almost always asked by First Time Home Buyers here in Chester County, Delaware County and Montgomery County.
And truth be known, there’s many a tale to tell. Some not very pretty and some could be a sitcom. But here’s the, ” What should I ask for?” Inclusion Exclusion basics:
Negotiating For Your First Home
My answer often begins with, “It depends” followed by more questions:
- how strong is the home Buyer’s offer?
- price
- terms
- financing contingencies
There’s an old saying in real estate when you’re negotiating. You either get the “price” or you get the “terms”. Not usually both. But sometimes you can get both. So what are inclusions and exclusions. How does negotiating work? Read the rest of this entry »
