Haverford homes for sale in ZIP 19041

Haverford PA homes for sale split into two markets, so pick house or condo before you set a price: only 43% of ZIP 19041's units are detached, and 41% are in buildings of ten or more. Zillow's typical value of $1,167,168 blends the two, so it won't price either one for you, and that's the catch. This page covers 19041, and if you want a wholly detached market, compare it with Villanova homes for sale.

Decide on house or condo first, because they're different purchases at different prices sharing one ZIP figure. Use the type filter on any portal before the price filter.

Detached Haverford houses

Detached houses are 43% of units, about 1,118 homes, so expect fewer choices than the ZIP's size suggests. Don't read $1,167,168 as a house price: it blends in apartments, an inference from the mix, so check MLS sales for houses alone. If you want more of them to choose from, Gladwyne's market is 83% detached.

Haverford condos for sale

About 41% of units are in buildings of ten or more, so condos are a real option here, unlike in Villanova. Few public sources show how many trade above $1M, so ask for MLS sales by building. Dues and rules vary by building, so request both, and read the Main Line condo guide.

Attached Haverford homes and named communities

About 10% of units are attached. Named communities such as Haverford Reserve have their own page, but check the ZIP and township on the parcel before you treat one as part of 19041.

Check the ZIP on every result, because a home marketed near Haverford may be in 19083, Havertown, where the typical value is $633,240 lower. Comparables from one won't price the other. That's the mistake to avoid when you judge whether a 19041 asking price is fair.

Inside 19041, the next check is the township, 68% Haverford and 32% Lower Merion by land. Haverford, PA and how its two townships differ covers the place. For a search, what matters is the bill, and it runs the opposite of what the rates suggest.

Each estimate is price divided by the county factor (Delaware 1.83, Montgomery 3.36) times total mills (29.6426 or 47.2727), before homestead relief. A real parcel's assessed value overrides it. On a $2M house the side can move your estimated bill by about $4,300 a year.

Check the parcel's county, the age of the house and any building's records before you offer. Reid can pull recent 19041 sales for the type you're after, which will tell you more than the ZIP's typical value.

County parcel record for a Haverford home

Read the municipality and assessed value from the Delaware or Montgomery county record, then apply 29.6426 or 47.2727 mills. A $600,000 assessment comes to about $17,786 on the township side and about $28,364 on the Lower Merion side. Run the LMSD Address Finder or the Haverford Township boundary map on the same address.

Older Haverford homes: roof, systems and exterior rules

About 34% of 19041's units predate 1940, more than Gladwyne's 18% or Villanova's 13%. On those, get the roof, systems and any exterior restrictions into your price before you compare it with a newer house at the same number.

Transfer tax on a Haverford home

Plan on about 1% of the price as your share by custom, about $11,672 on the typical home. That assumes 1% local on either side, so have your title company confirm it. The figure is negotiable in the agreement of sale.
