With property values now at the bottom and an economy in a bit of a tailspin what steps can be taken to stabilize and then increase our property values once again??? Sold Properties is The Benchmark for Setting Property Values in any Market not just the Pocono Market. A house is a house is a house until a forward thinking seller says "NO- Not Mine". "My house is Unique and Special". Strong words from a home owner but how can you really make your home SPECIAL. Professionally staged homes will Sell Faster and for more money which will gradually help to correct the property values here and in any other market for that matter.

    Let me in introduce you to The Art of Home Staging and in particular Apostle Art of The Poconos! 

A study by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) of homes that were staged in 2009 revealed that they spent 78% less time on the market than before they were staged.

After looking at vacant homes that were on the market before they were staged, RESA found that:

• Those that were listed and unstaged spent 277 days on the market, on average
• After they were staged they sold in 63 days on average
• This represented 78% less time on the market
