Clocktower Woods is nestled off of E. Boot Road and Line Road in East Goshen Township. I believe the neighborhood was started in 1999 by the Hankin Group. The average lot size is about 1/2 an acre and the homes are simply lovely. I remember that when the builder first start building, several Bow Tree neighbors jumped ship and headed over to the newer development. Bow Tree is another popular neighborhood in East Goshen Township. Homestyles in Clocktower Woods are varied, but mostly consist of stucco, siding with some stone or brick fronts. Some homes have lovely front porches, most have first floor offices/dens. There is one model that has a first floor master bedroom suite.
Clocktower Woods is part of the West Chester Area School District.
There is currently only one home for sale in the neighborhood, listed at $754,900.
Two sales within the last 12 months were $801,000, $807,500 and one pending sale of a home that was listed for $859,900 and is scheduled for closing on 2/16.
Looking for a Chester County home? I'd love to help.

As Chairperson of the Goshen-Towne Chapter of Meals on Wheels, I am also responsible for drivers and one of my drivers needed a substitute for today. I gladly volunteered to take her route as it's the same one I drive and it takes me to my very favorite over 55 community, Hershey's Mill.
It was a very foggy day today and I took a minute to take a photo of one of my favorite parts of the community.
Currently, there are 61 homes for sale in Hershey's Mill ranging from $149,000 to $495,000. That is up 6 since my last post about Hershey's Mill. There are also 6 pending settlement.
There is quite a selection and there is a home in every size and with every amenity.
If you are looking for a home in an over 55 community, I'd love the opportunity to take you on a tour of the different villages in Hershey's Mill. It's an active community with many fun things and groups. It is also fully gated and guarded 24 hours a day.
My office is also located in East Goshen Township. I am never too busy to help with your real estate needs.

On Sunday, I had an open house planned. 1 to 3, to beat the football games.
The old saying when man plans, God laughs is never truer than in Real Estate!
My Saturday appointment called me to say that her driveway wasn't plowed and we would need to reschedule. That's actually okay because I have another client I am going to call on in Springfield while I am there next week.
My open house at 718 Morgan Circle was simply not to be. Because the weather forecast downplayed the snow somewhat, the seller did not have a chance to have the driveway shoveled or plowed. I took a ride out there today and the driveway was a sheet of ice. I didn't want folks tramping around this lovely home with snowy feet but I also didn't want anyone falling down and getting hurt so I made an executive decision to reschedule until next Sunday. Please mark your calendars.... 1/29/12 from 2 to 4! See you there!

Come on people!!! Let's buy some of this inventory! The rates are still so low and there are so many really great homes for sale in any given price range. You tell me where you want to live and what you can spend, and after sitting down with a mortgage person, I can guarantee you, if you are pre-approved, you will be prepared to act when you come across the home that suits you.
You can only spend up to $150,000? There are currently 202 homes in Chester County between $100,000 and $150,000. You want a single? There are 92 homes to choose from!
Wait... you can spend up to $200,000? There are 369 homes to choose from. If you are really wanting that single family home on one acre, there are 43. If you narrow it down further and say you only want to be in West Chester Schools, well there's the rub. There are only 3.
Your price range is between $350,000 and 400,000 in the Great Valley School District? There are 17 homes for sale. Total. Narrow it down further and you can see that it's not such a buyer's market in some price ranges and locations.
What you really need to do is sit down with a trusted real estate agent. They will, in turn, sit you down with a trusted mortgage person who will determine your price range. Don't waste time and let one of 3 houses in your price range go to a more prepared buyer.
The numbers seem staggering until you really narrow it down to what you really want. Let a real estate agent help you get it. The home of your dreams.
It's that time of year again. Time to take down the decorations and put the old tree out by the curb. The tree pickup dates in East Goshen are as follows:
January 11 and January 25. Both Wednesdays.
Make sure to have your tree out to the curb the night before. Tress in plastic bags will NOT BE picked up.
Wishing you a wonderful, healthy and successful 2012.

From Geri McCafferty
I met Susan Mangigian at an open house she held late in 2010. When she called to follow up on our impression of the house she was representing for sale, she offered to assist me in my search upon discovering that I had not yet engaged the services of a realtor. I had met with several realtors previous to our phone call but had not yet decided on any one person. While I was impressed with Susan’s credentials and certifications, it was her low key demeanor but energetic personality that made the decision to work with her an easy one.
Our search for a home was a concentrated one day effort which she coordinated efficiently. She kept us on schedule yet allowed sufficient time to view 8 homes that day and I never felt rushed. She was careful to point out pros and cons for each home we looked at. I appreciated her expertise and never felt that she was trying to influence me with her opinion.
The settlement process went very smoothly in large part due to her follow up with the mortgage lender and the home sellers. We spent less than an hour at the table. Overall, my experience with Susan was very good. I would recommend her to any potential homebuyer with no reservations and I plan to utilize her services in the future when I sell my home.

As first time home buyers we couldn't have picked a better agent. Susan was quick to answer all of our questions, she is upfront and honest, she is also very caring and patient.
