The Average List Price and The Average Sale Price for January 2013 as well as the year to date figures.The Average List Price is up by approximately 1.5% but the Average Sale Price is down by 2%.

Recyle That Christmas Tree and other Recycle ideas for Christmas “left-overs”The Holidays have passed and they were wonderful!It is time to take it down and pack it away until next year.  BUT, this year let’s make a concentrated effort to recycle more of it instead of throwing it away.Bows are easy to recycle.  Those that did not get smushed in the travel or destroyed when opened can be put back in the “Bow bag” and reused throughout the year on other Holiday gifts or Birthday presents.  Ribbon too can be redone and repackaged or made into other bows.Recycling the tree is simple too.  Many of the larger cities and towns will offer curbside recycling but for those outside these areas there are other options. Check this site for details.You can place the tree in the frozen snow next to fe...

The Market Summary for Stroudsburg PA 18360 Year to Date to Sept. 30, 2012 When we look at the Market Summary for Stroudsburg PA 18360 we first take a look at the NUMBER OF LISTINGS. The Number of Active, Pended, and Sold Listings.  As you can see from the Analogy below the Number of Active Listings is well above the Number of Pended and Sold Listings.  This indicated low demand, A Buyers Market. Next, look at the LISTING PRICES for those Active and Sold Listings shown above.

The Stroud Township Market Summary detail for the Year To Date is depicted in the charts below. As we take a look at the Stroud Township Market Summary we first look at the Number of Listings.  The Number of Active, Pended and Sold listings.  The Pended and Sold Listings seem to be running "neck to neck," which is a good thing and the pended listings are running steady which will hopefully keep our Sold listings remaining steady through to the end of the year.  The Active Listings still greatly outweigh the Pended and Sold listings however so we are still very much in a Buyers Market. (Hope my charts are not to BOLD - I felt like something fall looking) Next we will look at the LISTING PRICES for those Active, Pended, and Sold Listings.  We see that the prices of the Active, Pended, and...
