What defines a Wyomissing historic home? Not everyone goes through the time and effort to get the historic home certification, but many qualify. In this market, “historic” is not a decorative label.

The Same Four Words... Scroll through most listings for a historic home in Wyomissing and you will find the same four words doing all the work: "the charming original details" That phrase is doing a lot of hiding. It could mean hand blown stained glass. It could mean a builder's grade stock stair rail from 1994. Most agents cannot tell the difference, so they default to the phrase that covers...
