Parkesburg Borough Council will consider a rental ordinance for adoption on Monday, July 18, 2011 at 7 p.m. in the Parkesburg Borough Municipal Building (315 West First Ave.).

East Marlborough considers renewable energy ordinance

East Marlbourough Township residents may be able to generate renewable energy at their homes in as soon as six months, depending on how quickly township officials can generate a new ordinance to regulate the technologies involved. Township supervisors’ Chairman Cuyler Walker said officials want to create an ordinance to permit and regulate the residential installation of various green energy technologies, such as wind, solar and geothermal equipment. The subject came up because two township residents want to put wind turbines on their properties. One resident noted that the installation of a turbine could increase the property’s resale value. Ordinances permitting residential wind turbines normally recommended a setback equal to the height of the tower on lots of at least a half-acre. A draft ordinance is expected within six months to a year.

Avon Grove raises taxes

To balance a $91.4 million budget passed two weeks ago, the Avon Grove School Board has approved a 5.91 percent property tax increase, raising the tax rate from 24.72 to 26.18 mills. A mill is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 worth of assessed real estate value. That means the owner of a property assessed for tax purposes at $300,000 paid $7,416 in school property taxes last year and will pay $7,854 this year. The budget also calls for an $18.6 million withdrawal from the district’s fund balance.

New Garden supervisors approve contract for airport

The Chester County Economic Development Council is officially working to help New Garden Township bring new businesses to its airport. Development adviser Bob Grabus said the airport has tremendous potential for commercial development and as a destination for visitors. The township hopes to expand the airport with the addition of a business district that would also further support airport services. Board member Bob Norris, who is also a member of the township’s airport development team, said he has worked closely with Grabus and Township Manager Dan Fox to explore plans for the commercial portion of the New Garden Flying Field, a 40-acre parcel adjacent to the main airport campus. The business council will provide the township with bimonthly updates on prospective clients it has located. The New Garden airport is one of the keystone developments in Chester County, and Fox referred to the north end of the Baltimore Pike corridors as one of the best potential development regions in the county.

Study finds slight improvement in Chester County office market

Chester County’s main commercial office market experienced a small improvement in the first half of the year, according to the latest study of the Philadelphia region by Newmark Knight Frank Smith Mack. The Malvern/Exton/West Chester submarket moved into the positive arena for the first time in more than two years, reporting a positive net absorption rate of 53,150 square feet in the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date rate to a positive 4,580 square feet, the report found. Positive net absorption occurs when more space is leased than is left vacant. Class A office space in the Chester County market made up the lion’s share of positive net absorption, at 58,275 square feet. Rental rates in the market continue to zig-zag from the second quarter of 2010 when rates were reported at $20.25 and then went down to $19.78 in the first quarter of 2011. They were back up to $20.33 in the second quarter of 2011. The vacancy rate for office space in the Chester County market is at 22.7 percent now, down from 23.3 percent last year at the same time.

Uptown Worthington developer shifts strategy

L.L. Bean has announced it will no longer be setting up shop in Uptown Worthington, and will instead focus on a store in King of Prussia. In other substantial news for the development, the upscale theater company Muvico is no long under agreement with O’Neill Properties Group, the developer of the 100-acre mixed use community at routes 202 and 29. Much of the multimillion-dollar Uptown Worthington mixed-use project came to a halt when the project’s developer filed suit against its lender, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, seeking $8 billion in damages and claiming the bank reneged on some of its loans. By last summer, that amount had dropped to $297 million. Once the lawsuit is resolved, “we will re-energize our outreach to the retail community,” Steve Forster, director of public finance and government resources at O’Neill Properties of King of Prussia said, adding that the project will still be mixed-use but with a slightly different emphasis. Originally, the $700 million, 1.6-million-square-foot mixed-use project included 753 luxury residences merged into a 500,000-square-foot town center and Class A office space. The completion of the long -anticipated Route 29 E-ZPass-only ramp and widening of route 202 are expected to be completed in the near future. This could be a boon to the development during the delay.

AGSD to raise taxes by 5.9 percent

Avon Grove School District increased real estate taxes to 26.18 mils, reflecting a 5.9 percent increase over last year. The tax increase is expected to generate $2.4 million. The increase is coupled with $3.6 million in expenditure reductions and revenue enhancements, and the use of $2 million from the general fund and $1 million from reserves in order to close a projected $9 million budget gap.

Unionville Chaddsford passes 2011-12 budget

The Unionville Chaddsford School District budget was passed levying the real estate taxes at 24.53 mills in Chester County and 21.82 mills in Delaware County. That reflects a 1.1 percent increase in Chester County and a 4.75 percent increase in Delaware County.  Previously, school board members had considered a budget with no tax increase, but the added revenue was necessary to keep courses and programs intact while avoiding tapping into the reserve budget.

Chester County Real Estate Statistics: June 2011 Comments Off

Unfortunately predictable…

On the positive side, it is an amazing time to be buying real estate right now. In fact, we bought an investment property this past month it is so good. (Let us know if you want to do the same, we can help). On the unfortunate side, much of what we have been predicting is coming to fruition – less activity, downward pressure on prices, etc. While this is not great news for sellers, the gold lining is that it is an amazing time to buy, especially while rates stay low (big question is how long will that last?) Let’s take a closer look…

CLOSED SALES (DEMAND):

Click to Enlarge

The number of closed sales is up from last month, as expected. However, it is still off 18% from the 5 year trend and a whopping 29% off of last year. Granted last year’s market was falsely propped up by the Governments tax credit, so you have to take that with a grain of salt. The next three months should follow the seasonal drop but may not be as sharp as past years as we are seeing a good amount of activity. Only time will tell.

PENDING SALES:

Click to Enlarge

Pending sales are mirroring the 5 year trend, but about 24% off in the amount of activity. We feel this is the “new normal”. . . in other words, the days of 700 or 800 homes selling in a month are over. Pending sales will continue to be a good bit off of the 5 year trend, until the overall economy can improve, namely the Jobless rate and “distressed property” inventory.

ACTIVE LISTINGS (SUPPLY):

Click to Enlarge

Active homes for sale in Chester County remains high – there are about 3% more homes for sale right now, than in the last 5 years. We expect this gap to continue indefinitely, growing to possibly 6% above the 5 year trend.

AVERAGE SOLD PRICE:

Click to Enlarge

This number has caught up with the seasonal trend. The next several months are great months for higher end homes to come on the market and get sold.

LIST TO SALE PRICE RATIO:

Click To Enlarge

This is a great indicator on where properties are headed. As you can see the market is trying to “Find” itself as the ratio has been all over the place this year so far. This started around August or September of last year. This will be a good indicator that the market is stabilizing when this smooths out. Right now, it’s very unpredictable.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Chris spoke with a friend who works for a local, large financial company who told him about what one of his companies top analysts said about the overall market at a recent conference. They said that the two main factors to be concerned about were the overall jobless rate as well as the “Shadow inventory”. The jobless rate has a great effect on overall buying as well as what confidence that consumers have. “Shadow Inventory” are all the distressed properties that have either been foreclosed on and the banks are holding or homes that have not been paying their mortgage and are going to be foreclosed on. We’ve seen that inventory be counted as high as 4 million homes. That’s a lot of homes. It’s going to take a long time to work through that inventory and as long as that inventory exists, its going to keep that pressure on prices to stay low. So keep an eye on the shadow inventory and the jobless rates.

SELLERS:
Yes – it is still a difficult time to sell a home. However, our team continues to have great success getting homes sold. At the end of June, we had 20 homes under contract. In the end, you must have an exceptional agent by your side to help you get the information and perspective you need to make this critical decision. We’ve helped many clients do just that over the last year and a half. Call us today to let us know you need help.

BUYERS:
There continues to be amazing opportunities there for those who have all their “ducks in a row”. If you do not have a home to sell, that means knowing the process, having your financial options figured out and knowing, clearly, what you are looking for. If you have a home to sell, that adds that you have met with Caleb to know what the SELL side looks like and then meeting with Chris to clearly nail down the buy side. Interest rates have been sneaking up lately, going from 4.25% to 4.5%, even as high as 4.625% last week. So if you are thinking about buying, call us today to get that ball rolling.

NEXT STEPS:

BTW, We do have very specific data for every price range and area of town. Want specific data pertaining to your neighborhood or your own home? We have it! Please let me know if you would like a neighborhood-specific analysis by contacting me!

Phoenixville School district forms budget panel

Phoenixville Area school officials hope a newly formed community budget committee will provide school board members with insight about difficult financial decisions as the officials get a head start on the district’s 2012-13 budget. Board President Paul Slaninka said he recently thought of establishing the community-comprised task force to help the district discover new revenue sources and cost savings and other reductions for its upcoming budget. The district recently completed a budget season with substantial cuts in state subsidies and a 2.66 percent tax increase. To learn more about the budget advisory committee, visit the district’s website at www.pasd.k12.pa.us.

Owen J. Roberts hiking taxes 2.48 percent

The Owen J. Roberts School Board recently approved a 2011-12 budget that raises district property taxes 2.48 percent. The district’s tax rate will rise by 0.65 mills to 26.82 mills. A mill equals $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value. The change will result in a $108 increase in real estate taxes for the district’s median homeowner with a property assessed at $148,000, according to district Business Administrator Jaclyn Krumrine.

Penn Township gives developers more time for plan

Penn Township Supervisors granted Jennersville an extra 60 days to come up with a plan for the development of its site before the township makes a decision to allow them to continue with a project or reject them completely.  The Penn Township planning commission and the township engineer have both recommended that the plan be rejected because of numerous deficiencies that the engineers have found that have not been addressed.

Downingtown plans for 6th grade center

The Downingtown School Board directed the architectural firm Hayes Large to begin the design phase for the construction of a 6th grade center on land the district owns beside Shamona Creek Elementary School. The plan is to eliminate overcrowding in the middle schools. The district has tried for two years to come together with East Brandywine Township to build a middle school on property the district owns on Rt. 322, but the plans have not moved forward. The district hopes the construction of a 6th grade center is less costly than that of a middle school. Click here to read more about the project.

Spring-Ford taxes up 3.23 percent

The Spring-Ford Area school board unanimously approved the $123.1 million, 2011-12 budget that includes a 3.23 percent tax increase. The new tax rate of 24.291 mills will equate to an additional $76.10 in school property taxes for the owner of a property assessed at $100,000. The school district faced many financial challenges in developing the budget, which had initially called for a 7.6 percent tax increase to plug a $10.4 million deficit.

Redistricting opponents address Oxford Area School Board

Opposition to changing the Oxford Area School Board from regional to at-large members arose at a June 13 Oxford Borough Council meeting and carried over to a school board meeting the next night. Council members, the mayor, and residents asked the school board to rescind its decision to send a petition for redistricting to the Chester County Court of Common Pleas. A petition signed by more than 1,000 residents asking the court to change how board members are elected notes that the 2010 Census shows the current three-region system does not reflect current population trends. Those against an at-large system cited increased campaign costs, potential lack of representation for specific communities, and the possibility of internal selection for board members as reasons for their opposition.

Sewer disagreement delays school renovation again

West Chester Area School District is being asked to pay an additional $59,000 in sewage fees in order to move forward in its plans to renovate the Westtown-Thornbury Elementary School. After a year of negotiations with the Westtown Board of Supervisors and West Goshen Sewer Authority, school board members were informed by Director of Facilities and Operations Kevin Campbell that the elementary school’s sewage will be allowed to flow to the pump station on Street Road only under the condition that the district purchase eight additional Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) of sewer capacity from Westtown Township, the cost of which is almost $59,000. An EDU is a fee that is equivalent to the cost for one residential unit. During the construction of Bayard Rustin High School, which opened in September 2006, the district purchased 78 EDUs from the township, but currently uses only about 29 EDUs. According to district spokesperson Robert Partridge, since 2004, when construction for Rustin began, about $6 million has been paid to the township in sewage fees. A committee did not approve the $59,000 expenditure, and will instead seek a meeting with the board, administrative representatives and Westtown Township.

School building height issue blamed on Unionville-Chadds Ford district

An investigation by the Chester County Press regarding the Unionville-Chadds Ford High School auditorium height issue indicates that the error rests with the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and its architects. The cause of the error apparently resulted from the failure of the school district and its architect to include the height of the auditorium when applying for variances through East Marlborough Township’s zoning hearing board. The district obtained a permit and proceeded with construction before the height issue was discovered. East Marlborough Township has not fined the school district or stopped construction because of the violation. Township supervisors have stated that they only want to set the record straight.

Coatesville ordinance would ban home conversions

Coatesville City Council has decided to go forward with an ordinance banning property owners from converting single-family homes into multiple apartments. Council has passed the first reading of the ordinance and will vote on the second and final reading either at its next meeting or the first meeting in July. The Chester County Planning Commission reviewed the ordinance and recommended that instead of banning the use, the city should make the conversion part of a conditional-use proceeding. Solicitor John Carnes said he believes the planning commission wanted to allow the city to have the use available if needed, but leave the decision to allow a specific use to the discretion of council. However, Carnes still recommended that the city go forward with banning the conversions. If the conversions are banned, then property owners can attempt to claim a hardship to be allowed to convert the single-family home. A hearing regarding the hardship would be held in front of the city’s zoning hearing board. The homeowner would need to prove that keeping it a single-family home creates a problem for them, which may be difficult if the home is still habitable. Codes Director Damalier Molina said there are about 1,200 rentals within the city. He estimated that about 66 percent of those are single-family or twin homes.

Kennett school board approves 3.8 percent tax increase

Despite a school budget more than half a million dollars smaller than last year’s spending plan, property owners in the Kennett Consolidated School District will see a tax increase. To fund the budget, the board approved a 3.8 percent property tax increase. The tax rate will rise 0.95 mills to 25.7293 mills. A mill represents $1 in tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value. That means the average taxpayer will see an increase of approximately $180 in next year’s tax bill, based on an average property value of about $189,000.

The vote will take place during the regularly scheduled monthly board meeting on June 28. The proposed budget represents a 6.9 percent decrease from last year’s budget. The committee also agreed that the board would vote on raising taxes 3.51 percent, above the Act 1 limit since the district applied and qualified for exceptions from the cap. The property rate will now be set at 29.49 mills.

West Chester Area tosses tax hike

The West Chester Area District’s School Board took a final vote on tax rates for its residents in Chester and Delaware counties. The first resolution brought to the board to raise the property tax rate by 1.4 percent failed. A new resolution for no tax increase for Chester County residents and a 0.2 mill reduction for Delaware County residents passed. According to district spokesman Robert Partridge, the district has 1,600 residential parcels in Delaware County and 29,000 in Chester County. The $1.7 million budget gap that remained would have been closed by a 1.4 percent tax increase but will be closed with funds from the district’s fund balance, raising the district’s total withdrawal this year to about $2.8 million. Currently, the district maintains a AAA Moody’s rating, the highest possible rating that any school district can achieve. A resolution to approve the Homestead Exclusion Relief Act was also presented to the board and passed unanimously. This will offer an average property tax reduction to homeowners of $139. This property tax relief is available to any homeowner who filed a Homestead Exclusion Form with their county assessment office.

Oxford Area petitions for redistricting

In the Oxford Area School District, voters choose school board representatives by region, but that could change after November. A petition to change the election of school board members to at-large positions rather than by regions was sent to the Chester County Court of Common Pleas. The district is currently broken into three regions, but census figures show that the population is not evenly divided in the district. Region 1 is split between Lower Oxford with 5,200 residents and Upper Oxford at 2,484. Region 2, which is Oxford Borough, has a population of 5,077. Region 3 is composed of Elk with 1,681 residents, West Nottingham with 2,722 and East Nottingham with 8,650 residents. State law provides that school district regions are to be similar in size with contiguous boundaries. Local officials contend that this may not be possible in the school district. The at-large alternative has been proposed for all nine school board members.

Bamboo shall not be planted, maintained or otherwise permitted to exist within thirty (30) feet of the edge of the pavement or traveled portion of any public thoroughfare in East Brandywine Township.

Tredyffrin-Easttown budget plan includes property tax hike

Tredyffrin/Easttown School District property owners may soon see a property tax increase of up to 3.77 percent. For homeowners, this would mean an average increase of $171 in property taxes, generating $3.2 million in revenue for the district. The proposed final budget was adopted by the school board on May 9, but the board is still evaluating other cost-saving options. The final budget presentation is slated to be voted on by the board at 7:30 p.m. on June 6 at Conestoga High School. The proposed final budget can be publicly viewed on the district’s website here.

No tax hike for Oxford Area

Property owners in the Oxford Area School District will avoid a school property tax hike this year and keep their school buses. The real estate tax rate will remain at 29.5479 mills. During the budget adoption process, one of the biggest objections from the public arose over a proposal to eliminate busing for students living in Oxford Borough, but school officials found the necessary $135,000 to avoid that possibility. One policy change adopted by the school board adjusts the fees for sports participation to $75 at the high school and $50 at Penn’s Grove School. Parking permits for high school students are now $50.
