NEWS FROM CAMP LIFE
PUBLISHER
Dear Campers & Guests,
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful fall foliage we experienced this year. What a wonderful time of year to be enjoying the holiday season at the lake. I have a few updates to share on the local real estate market:
• Camp Augusta is “Under Contract”, and is due to close mid November. Thank you Philadelphia Magazine for featuring this property. Next, I look forward to introducing “Camp Blue Pine” in Lake Naomi. Please contact Dembinski Realty Company if you’d like to be put on a waiting list to tour this property, .
• The real estate market is definitely changing. Although demand is still very high for homes that are well maintained and priced well, receiving multiple offers above list price is not as common. It’s important that your home is competively priced and punch list free, prior to listing it for sale. For those still searching for their perfect vacation home or building lot, there are certainly plenty of properties to choose from.
• For those new to the community and in need of service providers, please enjoy our enclosed Pocono Pines Service Guide, starting on page 11.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday season. Stay warm!
Sincerely,
Michael Dembinski
