The market is going where??

Unfortunately, the market for newly built homes continues to fall although not as drastically as it has been.  The housing market overall has stabilized across much of the country although there are always specific areas that continue to decline and others that recover more rapidly. As a whole, the housing market will not recover fully [...]

Another Awesome Foreclosure Project And Another Happy Client!

We just finished up a very nice foreclosure for a couple from New York, so lets have a quick overview of the amazing deal they got through Pennsylvania Foreclosure Professionals.

Huge Savings on Property…You Have To See This!

These are real numbers from an actual job…. hard costs to compare new against existing homes.

Higher oil and gas prices… higher costs to build a home.
