Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means that the Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index shows only one recorded sale for Wood Croft — and that the public records reports a median days-on-market of zero? When a pocket enclave this small trades so infrequently, how will you establish a defensible offer price, and what happens to your negotiating position if the only comparable is a single transaction from a different market cycle?

Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — No Chester County GIS or independent parcel database result was returned for ‘Viking Drive, West Bradford Township’ during research. The legacy hint of approximately 12 homes could not be verified against a named public source. Returned null; recommend Cyr Team verify via Chester County parcel search at https://ccpa.iotdatafabric.com/.
- Builder — No builder record identified for Wood Croft / Viking Drive enclave. The small scale of the enclave (~12 homes) and the 1985-era construction window suggest organic or custom development rather than a single tract builder, but this could not be confirmed.
- Hoa Name — No HOA was identified in public records or public sources. Deed covenants or shared road agreements are possible and must be verified at the property level through Chester County Recorder of Deeds or the seller’s disclosure.
- Era Band / Avg Year Built — The MI tool reports avg_year_built = 1960, which conflicts with the legacy hint of ~1985 construction. The 1960 figure likely reflects the 33-year appreciation dataset’s broader township-level data, not subdivision-specific records. The legacy hint’s ~1985 date is more consistent with the physical character of Viking Drive homes. Flagged for review; do not use 1960 as a published fact.
- Typical Home Style Text — Square Footage — The 1,400–3,100 sq ft range comes from the legacy spreadsheet hint; no independent public records or public record source confirmed this range for Wood Croft specifically. Treat as estimated.
- Lot Character Text — Lot Size — The ~1.0 acre median lot size and 1.0–1.3 acre range are from a legacy TopHap reference that could not be independently verified during this research session. Buyers must confirm via current Chester County GIS records.
- Most Common Elementary — Public sales data shows no elementary school assigned. West Bradford Township has two DASD elementaries (West Bradford Elementary and Bradford Heights Elementary). The specific feeder for Viking Drive addresses must be confirmed with DASD directly; boundary lines within the township determine assignment.
