Pocono Home Values

Home values in the Pocono Mountains have fallen since 2008 about 25-28% in total. with about 8% of that occurring in the last year. There are pockets of communities throughout the region, specifically the mountain areas and prominent luxury developments in Lake Naomi, Timber Trails, Hemlock Farms, Glen brook in Stroudsburg, PA and Buck Hill Falls where prices have not fallen quite as much. In addition, Lakefront homes have weathered the downturn better than most others.

Thinking of Selling Your Home?

If you're thinking of selling your Pocono home because you're ready to downsize, ready to move up to a larger home, transferring out of the area, or you can no longer afford to own your home any longer and you need to sell fast to avoid a short sale or foreclosure, then a home evaluation is necessary to get started.

Pocono Real Estate News

Its no secret. The Pocono Real Estate Market like the U.S. economy has slowed since the beginning of 2008, with the housing market in decline, unemployment levels rising and consumer spending dropping . But Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, reports that the pace of contraction may be slowing. He says, "We expect that the recovery will gradually gain momentum and that economic slack will diminish slowly. In particular, businesses are likely to be cautious about hiring, implying that the unemployment rate could remain high for a time even after economic growth resumes later this year." In terms of housing, the Fed forecasts indicate the housing market is in fact stabilizing.

One trend noticed in this last few months (starting in Mid 2010) is that the foreclosure market is now being dominated by investors with cash. Investment buyers (those seeking to buy and then to rent, or those buying to hold, fix and resell later) are now recognizing that the market is at or near bottom. These buyers are now swooping in to pick up some of the really cheap foreclosures some of which when properly priced last only days on the market.

Mortgage Money is Available from Local Pocono Banks

Pocono Banks like East Stroudsburg Savings, Pocono Community Bank and Penn Security Bank are aggressively seeking to lend money to borrowers on mortgages on Poconos Real Estate in the Monroe, Wayne, and Carbon County areas. These institutions are virtually unscathed by the current credit crisis as they tend not to sell their mortgages and work with their own cash on hand. It is unlikely that any of these three banks have issued any sub prime mortgages and they all have lower than the national average foreclosure rates. 04/6/2011 - Credit is loosening up we now have 3% down mortgages again. Call USA Realty to discuss homes that qualify for low down payments 570-517-2428.

The State of Real Estate in the Poconos Mountain of Eastern PA

- Here's what's happening in real estate in the Poconos and in Pennsylvania Homes For Sale Real Estate.

As you can see by the following Pocono Real Estate Sold Market Analysis * There has been a shift in the First Quarter of 2011 vs First Quarter of 2010. Listings are down (good news for sellers, bad for buyers). New listings are down significantly (good news for sellers, bad for buyers). Days on the market are up (bad for sellers, good for buyers). Number of homes sold is down (bad for sellers, good for buyers). The average price continues to be lower (bad for sellers, good for buyers).

Active Listings: Down -6%

1/1/2010 to 4/1/2010- VS 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2011

5569 VS 5225
This is good news. There are once again fewer Poconos roperties on the market. This is now a consistent trend. And a trend reversal from 2007-2008 and this is good news. The bad news is that there is still a large supply and unless a home is priced at the lowest competitive price for homes in its price range, there will be a longer than normal marketing time. One of the unique aspects of the Poconos Market is that there are MANY more second and vacation homes in inventory than the national average (Who buys a second home in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg?) Second home owners are typically more patient than the average home seller, are willing to wait to get the best price and can (and do) often rent the home while it is being marketed. The Poconos Real Estate Experts expect this number should be higher than the national average.

New Listings

1/1/2010 to 4/1/2010- VS 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2011

2146 1882 -12%

Great news for Sellers - Bad News for Buyers. Fewer properties to choose from.


Days on the Market : UP +5.8%

1/1/2010 to 4/1/2010- VS 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2011

This is not good news. Homes are still taking longer to sell than in the past. Sellers must be still be more aggressive with pricing and be willing to accepting reasonable offers before this will get better.


Number Homes Sold: Down 2%

1/1/2010 to 4/1/2010- VS 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2011

515 VS 503 -2%
Yikes, another decrease in sales. The pace of sales has slowed.


Average Sale Price: Down -5% below same period last year

1/1/2010 to 4/1/2010- VS 1/1/2011 to 4/1/2011
145,000 VS 138,000 -5%
Not bad compared to the national average and to many other markets in the US. Buyer's should note that the average selling price is almost 30% less than the highs of 2005-06. So.. sellers are accepting that they have to reduce price more than in the past (a Pocono Real Estate trend?).
