The Pocono Real Estate Market like the U.S. economy has slowed since the beginning of 2011, with the housing market in decline, high unemployment levels and consumer spending now leveling off. 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 2011) 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 BanksPocono 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. 03/6/2012 - Credit is loosening up we now have 3% down mortgages again.
