Looking for a new home for the new year? You\u2019ve got options if you have the region\u2019s typical homebuying budget.<\/p>\n

Across the Philadelphia metropolitan area, homes sold for a median of $390,000 last month, according to the multiple listing service Bright MLS. That typical sale price is up more than 3% from last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what a home shopper could get with a budget like this in three different neighborhoods in the region.<\/p>\n

Wolverton & Co., a Montgomery County<\/a>-based real estate company, sells and manages a lot of condos in the area of West Montgomery Avenue in the Haverford<\/a> section of Lower Merion<\/a> Township.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call that stretch the golden mile of Haverford as it relates to condominiums,\u201d said Will Wolverton, owner and broker of record at Wolverton & Co. \u201cIt\u2019s a very desirable area.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are restaurants and national and local stores, including at the nearby Haverford Square<\/a> and Suburban Square<\/a> shopping centers. Condo residents can walk to SEPTA<\/a>\u2019s Haverford station to catch Regional Rail trains. The Merion Cricket Club<\/a> offers sports facilities and hosts dinners and galas.<\/p>\n

One condo currently for sale in the area is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit at Haverford Hunt Club, a building with 16 units on four floors. Condos there include both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.<\/p>\n

Lower Merion School District<\/p>\n

Estimated taxes:\u00a0$5,780\/year<\/p>\n

Condo fee: $498\/month<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The building is about 45 years old but has been \u201cthoughtfully updated\u201d in both looks and critical infrastructure, such as the elevator and the roof, Wolverton said.<\/p>\n

The condo for sale gets a lot of natural light, he said. And it\u2019s on the top floor, so buyers won\u2019t have upstairs neighbors. It also has a private balcony and a reserved space in the property\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n

The last several serious buyers have been most interested in the neighborhood, Wolverton said. <\/p>\n

The open kitchen is \u201cvery unique\u201d for the area and includes bar seating, said Zhao, an agent with Legacy Landmark Realty.<\/p>\n

The primary bedroom has a private bathroom, which isn\u2019t common in older homes in Northeast Philadelphia, she said. A lot of houses have only one full bathroom, she said. One of the bathrooms features a skylight and pink tiles on the walls.<\/p>\n

And the home is \u201ca bigger twin,\u201d she said. It spans 1,868 square feet.<\/p>\n

The home has a backyard and a walk-out finished basement, which has a half bathroom. It also has a garage and driveway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Price Point compares homes listed for similar sale prices across the region to help readers set expectations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[36609,183,185,184,186],"class_list":{"0":"post-69380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lower-merion","8":"tag-homes-for-sale-390k-budget-lower-merion-camden-nj-philadelphia","9":"tag-lower-merion","10":"tag-lower-merion-headlines","11":"tag-lower-merion-news","12":"tag-lower-merion-township"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
