Riverstone Farm! A unique property along both The Allegheny and Clarion Rivers




I was given an opportunity to tour this unbelievable property. Known as The Riverstone Farm, this estate's main focal point is the completely renovated and restored 1828 Fox Mansion. The home is 11,000 sq ft of beauty. When I visited the owner's of the home, they welcomed me into the most amazing kitchen I ever saw. Rich woodwork, hardwood floors, soapstone fireplace, all the stainless steel amenities, a Limestone countertop and sink. Simply breathtaking, but at the same time inviting and comfortable. Like being on vacation and relaxing at a lodge. The 1,200 acre estate is also home to an exquisite equestrian complex. A full size indoor competition arena attached to 2 barns equipped with 2 wash bays, veterinarian office, automatic cleaners and feeders, oh and did I mention 34 stalls! With 6 other homes located on the property, this could and should be Pennsylvania's nest resort destination. Contact Kim Schneider with Northwood Realty Services at 412-629-0069.

FOR SALE: 1001 Apples Mill Road, West Newton, Pa 15089
$262,500.

The best place to buy right now: Pittsburgh. For a housing market to be attractive it should have appreciating prices that show homeowners are making wise investments; an affordability rating that gives middle-class families with good credit entry into the market; and a relatively low number of foreclosures, which keeps prices stable and indicates there isn't an excess of inventory.
Pittsburgh has all three. In the metro area, 85% of homes are affordable to those making the median family income of $62,500. At the same time, foreclosures are low: Only one home is in foreclosure for every 120 housing units--the second-best record of all the cities we ranked; and home prices are expected to increase 2.67% by the end of the year.
Yes, the city has suffered greatly since the decline of its manufacturing-dependent economy. But that slump helped its real estate market dodge the rapid run-up in prices that doomed so many markets after the housing boom.
"Manufacturing cities like Pittsburgh have suffered so much for the last two, three, four years that there's still a population base in that region, and now those areas are sort of attractive," says James P. Gaines, research economist at the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. "Home prices are so low, some service-level jobs can be created, so it's not surprising perhaps that there's been a revitalization of some of those communities."

I attended a seminar today on Social Media and Social Networking and how it is changing the Real Estate business. What a great learning tool! The speaker was Stefan Swanepoel. He was exciting and realistic. Showing not just me, but all of the Realtors in attendance how to utilize sites like Facebook, Youtube, MySpace, and LinkedIn to effectively help buyers and sellers of real property. He is the author of a book titled "Swanepoely" I believe I will be obtaining a copy for myself so I can be the most effective Pittsburgh Real Estate Agent available. Thanks.
