Bridgeville? South Fayette?
Hello everyone! We got an offer on our house last night, a good offer actually a bit above our asking price. I am trying to settle myself down because I know that doesn't mean it is SOLD and there are still some hurdles to jump but we do plan to start taking our house search more seriously. I am focusing on Bridgeville, South Fayette, and Beaver and also keeping an eye on Quaker Valley and Avonworth school districts although I don't think we can afford a house we would love in those areas. My goal is to stay within a half hour tops commute to our jobs in Cranberry and also to get closer or stay within an hour or so of my parent's who live down near Cal U. Obviously, good childcare comes into play as well. Any suggestions or experience with our areas of interest you can put out there?

Re: Bridgeville? South Fayette?
Congratulations!! That's wonderful news! I would imagine the appraisal will come in close to offer price, because it seemed like a good price given the yard you have, solid state of the house, etc.
What are they asking for closing date? I could definitely see your concerns. lol I hope you have a decent amount of time!
I have a friend who lives in Bridgeville and is in the South Fayette SD - her kids are only 4.5 and 2.5, but I know she speaks highly of the district. I think the only thing I would keep in mind with the commute is if/when the next construction project will be done. I remember when they did the one bridge years ago, it was a headache to travel that way. So, for some period of time, you'll have to deal with that.
I think Quaker Valley is supposed to be very good. Avonworth - hmmm, I'm not sure! Maybe talk to your realtor about it and get her opinion as well.
Congrats, again!
My three sons!
Closing date of May 30th which is great because it does give us some time. We also can put our stuff in storage (or a pod) and move in with my parents temporarily if needed. Having listed two years ago and left the house on the market for 6 months and go zero offers, I didn't expect to have an offer in three weeks time this time around but I guess it truly is a different market. We're not making any money on the house considering the improvements we've made but they were necessary and looking at other houses in the area, I think it was priced fairly.
