Chester Valley Trail
Plans for a trail to rail path through Paoli
The
first public meeting about a proposed paved path connecting the
Chester Valley Trail to the Paoli Train Station took place in order to
educate residents about the plan. Phase 2 of the Chester Valley Trail
traversing Tredyffrin will open in a few months; however, a plan to
link the trail to the Paoli train station through Cedar Hollow Road is
still on the drawing board. The connector would enable R-5 rail
commuters to cycle or walk to their offices at Vanguard and the Route
29 and Route 202-Swedesford Road corridors. Engineers intend to keep
the path within the existing 50-foot right of way. Front lawns on
private property technically would not be sacrificed, but grassy
curbside strips, sidewalks and driveways could be impinged. A redefined
plan will be presented to the public at a second meeting on September
30. The project timetable calls for a presentation to Tredyffrin
officials on Dec. 2 and Willistown officials on December 9 before it
goes to the Chester County Commissioners on December 12. Project
updates can be found at paolicvtconnector.wordpress.com.

Springfiedl taxes increas...
Springfield passes budget
The
Springfield School Board passed a budget after shaving down the
increase to 1.98 percent. The newly approved tax rate of 29.300 mills
equates to $4,279 for the median property value of $146,050 in
Springfield and Morton. This is an increase of $83 over the present
year. The board and administration had a “worst-case scenario” in
February of 3.7 percent, but changes were made during and after the
preliminary budget process to bring the increase below 2 percent.

What Sellers and Buyer's Must Know - Some buyers can no longer buy the same house!!!
Sellers when you have an offer on your home today... read below... same offer may not exist next week. Available pool of buyers is shrinking as well as after an offer they still may not be able to buy if they did not lock - in their rate!
Buyer beware, call your agent and call your mortgage representative today:
Numerous buyers can no longer buy the same house that they were looking for last month. The rates have increased so much that the monthly payment is now out of their reach.
Rates increasing by 1% ... from 3.25 % to 4.25 % = 1% increase.... (using these rates as an example, not confirming today's rates)
If the buyer borrows a mortgage in the amount of $250,000... payments have increased by $142.50/month
If the buyer borrows a mortgage in the amount of $300,000...payments have increased by $171.00/month
If the buyer borrows a mortgage in the amount of $350,000....payments have increased by $199.50/month
If the buyer borrows a mortgage in the amount of $400,000....payments have increased by $228.00/month

A great time to buy!
Prices are still low and rates are still very low. Starting to see more and more 4% and above... If you were thinking of selling now is the time to do it. If you are thinking of buying, do not wait... indecision may cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Summer is here - Now is a great time to act!
Today sure feels like summer is here! And
while our attention may shift to vacation and travel, I’d like to remind you of
the great opportunity available to both buyers and sellers. With pent-up buyer demand, record-low mortgage
rates and affordable home prices, now is a great time to buy or sell. So grab your real estate passport and let’s
prepare for a journey through today’s market.
1. Grab
a map and set a course. Sellers,
please contact me to evaluate the homes for sale in your area and set a competitive price. On average, today’s
buyers are searching online before contacting a real estate agent. They know what they want and they have
educated themselves on the values in their target market. And, Sellers, my suggestion is, don’t test
the market at a higher price. You will
lose those valuable opening days or weeks when your listing is the hottest one
around!
2.
Be prepared - it may be a short trip. Sellers, today’s inventory of homes for sale is limited so well-priced,
ready-to-show homes may have offers in the first few days and weeks of listing.
Buyers, be prepared for some competition
on those new listings. You might not
succeed on the first offer but don’t give up. Even if your trip is a little longer, with my
help we will find your dream home!
3.
Anticipate detours and roadblocks. Even with an
accepted offer, today’s buyers and sellers should not hit cruise control. Prudential Fox & Roach and I have been
monitoring cancellations – transactions that don’t close. There are two main
drivers for these:
a.
Home inspections.
Sellers, it is important to think like a buyer and begin to see your
home through a critical lens – inside and out. Be proactive where you can.
b.
Financing. Buyers, it is very important to take the time
to assess your financing options and present your offers with the strength of a
mortgage commitment. I will recommend a
Trident Mortgage representative for you to speak with before you start your
search.
4.
Plan the destination celebration. Whether you
are buying or selling, I am confident your goal will be achieved! As Abraham Lincoln said, “your own resolution
to succeed is more important than any one thing.”
Now is a great time to act! I see opportunity in today’s market and I want
to help you navigate your journey. I
look forward to speaking with you soon!

Opportunity is knocking!
It’s hard to believe that the housing market turned so
quickly for sellers! We went from bad
news – homes sitting on the market, inventory growing, and prices falling – to
a sellers’ market. That’s right…a
sellers’ market. Now listings are in
short supply, and in some price ranges, sellers are receiving multiple
offers. The dream of homeownership is
back in full force, and there are a lot of buyers ready to buy their piece of
the American dream.
As we look back, we now see that the bottom of the market
was in 2011. Since then, sales have
increased and prices have stabilized. In
some areas, they’re even rising. The
tremendous amount of pent-up demand that grew over the last five years has been
unleashed, and with an improving economy, lower unemployment, and rising rental
rates, the demand for housing has created a backlog of potential purchasers and
a shortage of houses for sale.
So what does this mean for you? Opportunity!
If you’re holding off selling your home now may be the time to rethink this
decision. If you need to sell in order
to buy another home, the same great reasons to buy still apply: an improving economy and real estate market,
current home prices are still affordable and record-low mortgage interest
rates.
Let me know if I can help you evaluate your situation. And please don’t wait too long - many
economists are forecasting a rise in interest rates sooner rather than later
and that means the same dollars will buy less.
Nothing stays the same, and as we have seen change can occur quickly.
Opportunity is knocking;
Let’s answer the door together! I
look forward to speaking with you soon!
