Time to take a look at what happened in our real estate market in Bucks County and Yardley in 2011. As noted on the Bucks County real estate chart below, we can see that the number of houses sold in all of Bucks County was 3% less than the number of houses sold in 2010.  (There were still 4423 homes sold in Bucks County in 2011).  The number of homes sold in December of 2011 though, was 11.6% higher than in December of 2010.  This was the sixth consecutive month that unit sales in the County were higher than the previous year. Prices of homes sold in 2011, in Bucks County, fell by 5.5%.  As you will see in the Yardley data, home prices in Yardley/Lower Makefield Township did better than that in 2011. Pending sales remained about the same as they were a year ago at the same time. Bucks C...

Election Day is tomorrow and I can't wait to exercise my cherished right to vote. Mostly I can't wait for the negative advertising - both print and media -  to be over! I was a big city girl for most of my life. Regular readers know that I spent 47 years living in Philadelphia. I grew up in what is known as Lower Northeast Philadelphia. I went to college in West Philadelphia at Drexel University and my husband and I raised our children in two different homes in the Northeast's Rhawnhurst section. In the big city, politics  and politicians were a little distant. A typical Philadelphian is not likely to meet the Mayor or possibly even their local City Council person. The closest the average citizen might get is to their State Representative and on a more basic level, the local Committee ...

As soon as anyone says 9-11 you automatically hear someone recount where they were and what they felt when they heard and watched the devastating news about the attacks in New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. I live in Yardley (Lower Makefield), Bucks County PA in which 18 people who worked in the World Trade Center lost their lives. The Garden of Reflection (just 1.5 miles from my home) is the official Pennsylvania Memorial to the Victims of Sepetember 11, 2011 terrorist attacks created to remember and honor loved ones and all 2,973 killed with a walking journey that symbolizes “After Darkness…Light.”  It truly is a place of beauty and hope that people throughout Bucks County and those visiting our area love to come and pay tribute to all those who lost their lives and simply remem...
