The Reasons Are Endless To Come To The Poconos!

So whether you're buying a starter home, your Pocono Mountain Dream Home or an investment property, you can take advantage of my experience as a local market expert for the Pocono Mountain Region! Whether you are buying in Pocono Lake, Blakeslee, Pocono Pines, Jim Thorpre, Long Pond, Albrightsville, Gouldsboro, or another region of the Pocono Mountains, use my expertise to make the most informed decisions you can every step of the way. Buying a home is a very complex and exciting adventure. It can also be time consuming and costly if you're not familiar with all aspects of the process, and don't have all the best information and resources at hand.

 

Time for a vacation home? If you're thinking about buying a vacation home, you're not alone. The rate of second home ownership has made a serious jump as Baby Boomers move into their prime wage - earning years. It is estimated that 6-10 percent of homes in the United States are second homes. That number is much higher in desirable vacation communities. The trend of second home ownership shows no sign of slowing. People are certainly seeking outlets for fun, and an affordable second home in an area of your desire is clearly the way to go. Purchasing a vacation home mainly is set on location. Think of your interests and hobbies when choosing a second home location. Most second homeowners purchase homes in their favorite vacation spots because they already enjoy the area and want to spend more time there.
