Haverford and Radnor Township Home Transactions Under $500,000 During October and November 2013

 Persistence is Rewarded with $405,000 Sale at 2 Old Oaks Rd. in Bryn Mawr.
After nearly three years off and on market, this very well-appointed, 3-bedroom Colonial near Villanova University final settled in late October. The 1800 sf home had a reasonable list price and a very appealing interior featuring a handsomely updated kitchen and baths. But the home's location on busy Route 30 near the Villanova stadium is certainly what led to its extended stay on the market. In a buyers' climate, folks can choose to avoid primary thoroughfares and pass on otherwise very desirable homes, such as this one in the coveted Old Oaks section of Radnor School District. Sellers with typical fortitude and urgency might have lowered the price below market value to affect a sale. In this case, the relatively modest list price of about $420,000 eventually attracted a fair market sale price for a quality home in an excellent neighborhood.
