This new-to-market townhouse is pretty Old World, so if you’re into marbleized fireplaces, molding that doesn’t confine itself to the perimeter of the ceiling, flowery stenciled wall decoration, and elegant chandeliers, you’re in luck. The Italianate, 25-foot-wide facade of 37 Remsen Street hides a 7,000-square-foot single-family mansion, with eight bedrooms and 8.5 baths. “This regal residence possesses all the charm of yesteryear with updated mechanicals/systems throughout,” goes the brokerbabble, perhaps in an attempt to justify its asking price: $6,200,000. There’s an outdoor space off the cheery yellow kitchen, as well as a garden. The cellar level comes renovated, too, with eight-foot-high ceilings, a gym, laundry room, and a full bathroom. There’s space for a media room or wine cellar. Those too-chintzy details can always be painted over, right?

Marketing center users can now create full display ads with contact info, photos, company logo | Bedford Corners NY Homes

When Craigslist got rid of enhanced listings in November, many real estate agents were forced to pull back on one of their main marketing channels.

The online classifieds giant prevented agents and other advertisers from including links in their Craigslist ads, and forced them to revert to plain text and fixed photos.

Now, real estate marketing software firm Imprev Inc. has come up with a workaround for agents who lost the ability to post full display ads on Craigslist when the classifieds giant changed its site specifications.

Through a new Craigslist display ad format available via Imprev’s marketing platform, agents will once again be able to create full display ads, complete with their contact information, brokerage logo, custom text, property images, and personal or team photos.

Per Craiglist’s rules, the ads will still not contain hyperlinks, but agents will be able to lay out full display ads easily, without having to use a cumbersome desktop software program, Imprev spokesman Kevin Hawkins told Inman News.

“Real estate agents were left hanging when Craigslist effectively pulled the plug on display ads,” said Renwick Congdon, CEO of Imprev, in a statement.

“Agents that use the Imprev platform can once again create engaging, high-quality display ads for Craigslist.”

It isn’t just the Pittsburgh region seeing a strong real estate market: A real estate group said all of Pennsylvania saw gains in key indicators in 2013.

Home sales throughout Pennsylvania were up 11 percent in 2013 compared to the previous year, according to a report released Monday by the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors. There were 140,165 closed sales in Pennsylvania during 2013.

Median home sales prices rose and days on the market declined. The median home sale price was $169,900, up 3 percent from 2012. The average home was on the market for 86 days in 2013, down 12 percent from a year ago.

“Statewide we’ve seen a continued upward trend in the housing market in the last year. While local markets vary based on a number of issues, overall, we believe the market conditions are progressing favorably,” Pennsylvania Association of Realtors President Kim Skumanick said in a prepared statement. “We expect to see these trends continue into 2014 and we’re optimistic that we’ll continue to see a robust housing market throughout the commonwealth.”
