The bad news for sellers is that the average sales price for the first six months is off from the same time frame last year.

We keep a multitude of statistical information and welcome the opportunity to share our market knowledge with motivated parties.

Recorded sales transfers for the resorts are acquired electronically from records inputted at the Somerset County Court House, Office of the Recorder of Deeds. We review sales in Jefferson (Hidden Valley) and Middlecreek (Seven Springs) Townships on a weekly basis.

Prices do not reflect bill of sales and other out of settlement transfers. Furnishings, which are included in the majority of sales are assigned no monetary value. We do not post transfers that carry $1.00 values.

* This transfer was not an active listing and was purchased by Seven Springs. It is a large lodge with guest house, 2.9 acres, and several fine amenities located off of Village Road.

Recovery After the Storm: Survey, Plan, Clean-up

Survey the damage

Good news: the bridge & concrete abutments withstood the racing flood waters that came down Trout Run which is usually a meandering stream most of the year.

Bad news: there is three foot wide by two feet deep gap between the path and the bridge.

Good news: Onions, tomatoes and squash and some of the fence survived the flood

Bad news: Everything is covered with soupy mud.

A few days ago I asked Robert Hammerstein to lend us his ark when I wrote Under Water and Still Rising

This morning three days after the flooding Hubby & I rode his ATV down the neighbor's path to the back entrance to our field, garden and woods to assess the damage. In the stream we saw many rocks that will form the base to rebuild the access ramps to the bridge. Then we will mix cement to pour over the rocks to solidify the base. Finally we will cover the rocks with dirt and tamp it down.

We are hoping that a few days with no rain and hopefully sun will dry out the garden. If not, there is a Farmer's Market just down the road. Besides I did plant a few extra squash plants around one of my flower gardens near the house.

More good news: We are just grateful that our house is 25-30 feet above the stream

Older Couple Many homebuyers use the Internet to find their home. Although using the Internet for home buying is increasingly growing popular, there are still a lot of mistakes that can be made. Here are five tips to help you avoid potential blunders.

Don't try to do everything yourself. The Internet allows you to do many tasks that previously only realtors were able to do. You may have access to a lot more information, but don't assume this is all you need to buy a house. You should use a professional Realtor®, so you can avoid making costly mistakes.
Don't limit your search to a couple of real-estate sites. This will limit you to a smaller market of homes available. Many sites don't include all of the most recent listings. Also, you could miss important information about the housing market which could be helpful in your home search.
Only using the Internet could cause you to miss your dream home. Approximately 20% to 25% of homes are for sale by owner. You should look at other websites like Craigslist to locate independently sold homes.
Lookout for potential scammers. There are people looking to take advantage of homebuyers. Beware of fake home listings. Listings with no photos or home photos with watermarks are red flags that should not be ignored.
Remember in home-valuation websites are not perfect. You can't assume you know the value of a home because of what a website says. The information provided should only be used as a range.
