What a town page tells you
Three things, in this order. The houses first: whether the street is 1910 brick twins with a shared porch roof, 1950s brick ranches, or 1990s colonials on a cul-de-sac, and what tends to need work in each. Then the numbers: sale prices, the transfer tax on that side of the line (2% almost everywhere in Delco, 2.5% in Radnor, Upper Darby and Chester City, 3% in Upper Providence), and the school district's share of the tax bill. Last, the programs: Homeownership First puts up to $10,000 toward down payment and closing costs for buyers under its income limits, with counseling first, and Chester City, Haverford and Upper Darby sit outside it.
Havertown and Media are not on this site. Neither is Chadds Ford, which is half Chester County anyway. If your house is in one of those, call and say so; the lender who calls you back is licensed for the whole state.
