Anybody familiar with the market in Bucks County, PA?

Been looking for about 6 months for a single in the 350-450k price range in the Newtown/Yardley/Holland/Washington Crossing area.

Everything I have seen in that range is built in the 50s or 60s, is rather small, and frankly seems expensive for what you get. I know the reason is because these areas are easily commutable to philly/princeton/nyc.

I was thinking of expanding my search to the pipersville area, in the CB East school district. The houses I am seeing in the ~450k-475k price range are much more modern (built in the early 90s), spacious, and generally seem really nice.

I am not too familiar with this area, and my agent, who is great, she is not that familiar either with pipersville.

Is this a good neighborhood from an investment perspective? The CB East school district is great, but I am worried in an economic housing downturn that the homes in pipersville will lost value much greater than newtown/yardley area, because pipersville is kind of in the middle of nowhere.

I personally love the area, but was hoping people who are familiar with pipersville could chime in as to whether I should consider it.

For me, the commute to work is fine - I am just thinking from an investment perspective.

Thank you for reading.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
