Patriot-News to change real estate section

April 10, 2006

The Patriot-News, a daily newspaper in central Pennsylvania, is making changes to its real estate section, according to editor Tom Barstow.

Barstow writes, “However, a lot of the industry news and trend stories relevant to the midstate have a broader appeal. So we will start running those news and trend stories in the daily news pages, as well as on the Sunday Business pages.

“The Real Estate section will be dedicated to information that people can use specifically when buying or selling a house.

“The real estate industry is going through some great market shifts nationwide. By many indications, the midstate is well-positioned to withstand any downturn.

“Central Pennsylvania has seen steady growth in housing prices, not the enormous bubbles experienced on the coasts. The midstate also will continue to attract people from other areas looking for a better value and a higher quality of life.”
