  What's the best neighborhood in Philly to buy an old house? This Old House Magazine says Mt. Airy, recognizing it among the best neighborhoods in the Northeast. With the help of PreservationDirectory.com and realtors, This Old House put together its third annual list for its March issue, which will hit stands on February 19. The Northwestern district along Germantown Avenue was a favorite, chosen for Best for City Life and Fixer-Upper categories. It ranked up there with places like Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn and Bangor, Maine. Both historical and affordable, Mt. Airy has always been a Philadelphia gem.

One sign of our current financial times has been the shift of lending power (for real estate and other types of loans) from the too-big-to-fail national banks and financial companies to smaller regional lenders. In the Philadelphia area regional players such as Beneficial Bank and Susquehanna Bank have been actively picking up business left behind by the area's national players (Wachovia, Bank of America, PNC, etc.).

Now it seems the trend is continuing to trickle down and power may be shifting to even smaller, dare I say tiny, local banks. One report in today's Inquire...

Philadelphia has been operating a pilot program to assist home owners facing foreclosure since 2008. This program provides counseling, help with negotiating a loan modification, and assistance to stop the Sheriff's Sale. The Mayor of Philadelphia has become a spokes person for the campaign to inform homeowners of the program, appearing in ads such as the one posted on the back of the 23 Septa bus that runs from the top of Chestnut Hill in Northwest Philadelphia to Oregon Street in South Philadelphia. A ruling of the  Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia enacted the Residential Mortgage Diversion Pilot Program to keep as many homeowners as possible in their homes. If a homeowner is facing foreclosure, help is available through one of the non-profit, OHCD (Office of Housing Counseling an...

Enjoy living in Mount Airy in a large Victorian era home that was renovated in 2006. The deep rear yard offers an ideal space for gardening, to create a playground for children, or exercising your pets. The location is very convenient for commuting to work while in waking or bicycling distance of shopping, restaurants, historic sites, and the Wissahickon park.   This recently renovated property offers updated amenities including the custom kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, and the large main bedroom suite.

Philadelphia housing price statistics provided by the TREND Multiple Listing Service for housing sales are now available for the 2nd quarter of 2009.

Leading the way were 1st time home buyers who could take advantage of the $8000 Federal Tax Credit. The 1st time buyers were purchasing homes that were good buys, mostly in good to very good condition priced between $100,000 and $400,000, with most...
