House(s) of the Week: Firework Views for Every Budget

New Years Eve is prime entertaining time - and a home with firework views is the end-all-be-all of holiday entertaining.

But you don't have to be a millionaire to get those views.

This week, I've rounded up 5 homes from $325-899,000 currently for sale that would host some spectacular parties with the best of Philadelphia views. (Plus at least 2 beds for all of those crashing guests)

1027 Arch St, #607 - $325,000 



Large, 1300 sq ft loft with spectacular views over Center City. 2 beds (1 lofted) and 2 full baths. That open living concept, high ceilings and spectacular windows make a perfect party house.

Also having an open house this Sun, Jan 3rd, 12-1 PM

310 N Lawrence St - $514,900 


Ok, so maybe you aren't into the loft thing, but you still love to host a good party. Well luckily this historic Old City home with 3 beds and 2 full baths has a lovely open kitchen, gorgeous back yard AND a massive roof deck with firework views!

2200 Arch St #708 - $535,000 




So you are ok with the loft feel, and you love those spectacular city views, but you want a little more - like parking and a gym - with those condo fees. Then this 2 bed, 2 full bath unit might just be your pick.

1414 S Penn Square #20A - $785,000 




If you are buying for views, this one is hard to beat. Literally in the center of it all, this 2 bed, 2 full bath condo is stocked with amenities, including the perks of Ritz Carlton guests 24/7! Other amenities include valet parking to your designated spot, a lap pool, yoga studio and fantastic terrace overlooking Dilworth Plaza.

That does mean a hefty $1300 a month condo fee, but, hey, look at those views again!

113 N Bread St, #10A  - $899,000 



Can't get much closer to the Delaware River fireworks than this. 10 stories up with gorgeous views of the Ben Franklin, this 2 bed, 2 full bath condo with 1500 sq ft is a beautiful mix of concrete/modern and elegant built-ins.

This home is great for parties and everyday living!

Neighborhood Spot Light: Media

In the covid and  post-covid (are we finally post??) era of suburban boom, many people are finding they are having to settle for less. Less house, less yard, not their ideal school district or commute, less walkability, etc. But one area in the Western Suburbs that seems like a gem for continuing to be affordable (in comparison to the Main Line), walkable, charming and accessible is Media Borough and its surrounding neighborhoods (Rose Valley, Wallingford, and nearby Swarthmore).  Image courtesy of Riddle Village Media is another Victorian, suburban hub, among many around greater Philly. A walkable downtown with mid-19th century architecture and a wide variety of restaurants, bars and stores makes it a charming locale. Its one of the few non-Main Line hubs, though, that has several direct rail lines in the city, though, making this a wonderful spot for urban commuters.  Its main street (State St) is home to an accessible Trader Joes, several local brewery chains like Bric...

Breaking Down the Commission Headlines and the NAR Settlement

The news right now around real estate is ripe with "The 6% Commission is Dead" or how buying and selling real estate is about to become a whole lot cheaper.  Sounds tantalizing, right? Because often news is sensationalism and this one is no different.  Did something actually change?  Yes, a little.  NAR (the National Association of Realtors - the trade organization that makes a real estate agent a 'Realtor' by a separate code of ethics and educational criteria) settled a case that brought about a few, minor changes.  1. It eliminated any requirement that listing brokers or sellers must make offers of compensation to buyers brokers.  2. It prohibits sellers and their agents from making offers of compensation on the MLS and disclosing any compensation and requires the elimination of all compensation fields on the MLS.  3. It requires MLS members working with buyers to enter into written agreements with those buyers.  So what changed?  Not much....
