Tour a $3.2M Home Owned by Albert Barnes

See the ornate detail Barnes had added to this Merion Station mansion.

A lot has changed in the Philadelphia area since 1951, when Albert Barnes died in a crash in the Phoenixville area. For connoisseurs of the arts, perhaps the biggest change was the recent move of the Barnes Foundation's art collection from Lower Merion Township to its new home in Philadelphia. Now comes another Barnes-related change: One of several homes he owned on Latch’s Lane in Merion Station is going on the market. The asking price: $3,295,000.   The home at 379 North Latch’s Lane has 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths and two powder rooms and 10,000 square feet of living space on the first and second floors, according to Realtor Beth Samberg with Prudential Fox & Roach. The property also comes with a carriage house at the back of the property…

Buyer Beware: Should a Home's Gory Past Be Disclosed?

A Delaware County woman filed a lawsuit when she found out her home was the site of a murder-suicide in 2006.

An ABC News report published Monday raises the question of whether home sellers should be legally required to disclose that a home was the scene of a bloody crime.  According to the article, Janet Milliken, 59, purchased a home in Thornton, near Chadds Ford in Delaware County, and later learned it was the scene of a grisly crime: She sued the seller and the real estate agent for fraud and misrepresentation, saying they made a "deliberate choice not to disclose the home's recent past," according to a court document. The trial judge granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, saying state law does not require agents to disclose such events. The judge's ruling was upheld by an appeals court, but Milliken appealed to the state Supreme…

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.....The courts have ruled that this does not HAVE to be disclosed. But simply because it doesn't have to be doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't disclose. I have seen a similar case. The property was marketed as usual but when someone came back for a second time or expressed interest in buying the situation was disclosed to the buyer. The …   more ›

Area Homes Sold Faster in July

According to a report, homes didn't stay on the market as long in July 2012 as they did in July 2011.

Data of home sales in the Greater Philadelphia Area suggests that people are buying houses faster in 2012 than they were in 2011. Houses in the Greater Philadelphia area spent roughly 15 percent less time on the market in July 2012 than this did at the same time in 2011, according to the Prudential Fox & Roach HomExpert report for July.

The decrease in time spent on the market could be connected to home prices. The median price …
