Havertown and Drexel Hill offer a lot of options for single homes, twins and rows depending what you're looking for. It really depends on what your hoping to find and what type of condition you're willing to accept. I would recommend speaking with a mortgage broker or loan officer to determine the appropriate price range that you'd be comfortable and then begin to look from there. I'm located in Havertown and do a majority of my business in Havertown & Drexel Hill. I grew up in the area and have worked here as a Realtor for 4 years, so if you'd like to discuss homes and your options in more detail, please feel free to contact me. - Tue Apr 15 2008, 06:21
In order to help you out further I think I would need to know what type of price range you can afford. Once you figure out what you can afford, then I could help direct you to where the home prices would be most appropriate. When it comes to good schools, this is another very personal decision, however I could also provide you with the necessary links to determine which schools are most appropriate for you children. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. - Thu Apr 3 2008, 09:43
In general its a great time to buy. Rates are low, inventory is high and prices are down. The bigger question is whether you have decent equity in the home your selling. If you have a realistic idea of what your home will sell for and your comfortable with that amount of equity, then I think its a great idea. I've seen several homes that have dropped there listing prices over $50,000 over the past couple months. Lastly, if your planning on living in this future home for 5 or more years, getting great price now will set you up for a great future investment. - Wed Mar 26 2008, 06:55
It shouldn't be. While the floor plans and styles are the same, I'm sure you and the other owner have done different things to the interior of the homes. Actually, I would imagine your agent would be showing both whenever he or she has a client looking. Whether its the same agent or a different one, its the buyers who are going to decide which they like best. - Mon Mar 17 2008, 11:39
The township or city offices would have records of the permits if they had been pulled. If the permits were not pulled, you might run into problems if the city wishes to inspect the property. If work was completed that was against city zoning code, you could be fined and forced to remove the addition. Each case is different, but you want to keep that in mind. It might be worth it to look up the local zoning code for the property to identify if what has been done is within the regulations. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. - Fri Mar 14 2008, 11:52
