Here is a summary of The E. Stroudsburg PA 18301 Real Estate Market, year to date to October 2012.   In reviewing the Real Estate Market Summary for E. Stroudsburg PA 18301 we begin by taking a look at the NUMBER OF LISTINGS, the Number of Active, Pended, and Sold Listings. As we take a look at these numbers we see that the number of Active Listings greatly outweigh the number of Pended and Sold listings.  This is an indicator of a Buyers Market. Next, let’s review the AVERAGE PRICES of those Active, Pended, and Sold Listings.  We are still seeing a larger difference between the List price of homes for sale and the Actual sold price of homes for sale, for the most part.  This means that sellers are listing their homes above market value which leads to lack of sales and to a longer time ...

The Year To Date Market Summary for East Stroudsburg PA 18301 to Sept. 2012 When reviewing the Data we first take a look at the Number of Listings in the East Stroudsburg area.  The Active, the pended, and the Sold number of Listings.  We can see that the number of Pended and Sold has remained steady throughout the year, however they are greatly under the number of Active Listings.  Just the fact that the Pended and Sold listings have been relatively consistent throughout the year, is a hopeful sign for many of us.  Hopefully they will improve as the next year progresses. Then let's take a look at The AVERAGE LISTING PRICE of those Active, and Sold Listings.  Here we see that there were a couple of months where the Sold price came close to the asking price, and that is what we hope for....

        If you blink, you might miss it but you won't want to as Taste of Portugal BBQ restaurant, located on Rt. 209 (Milford Road) in East Stroudsburg (heading North - toward Bushkill on Rt. 209), is as good as authentic Portuguese BBQ and food gets. Using an authetic charcoal grill, the flavor pours out of chicken, ribs and other culinary delights. There are many seafood choices available such as paella, calamari, shrimp as well as a good selection of appitizers such as the Chorizo served flaming (look out!). Taste of Portugal does not have a liquor license (a shame) but is BYOB, so bring a bottle of either your favorite wine, or just an ordinary bottle then order the sangria and mix it to kick it up a notch (you'll be glad you did!). I ordered the BBQ chicken and pork ribs combo whi...
