Hawley, PA

Hawley is a small town located in the heart of Pennsylvania coal country. The population was just over 2,000 in 2010 and has been declining since then. Hawley was founded in 1892 and named after Judge James Hawley, who helped to settle the area. The town's economy is based on coal mining and related industries. However, the mines have been closed for many years now, leaving the town with few jobs and little hope for future growth.

The real estate market in Hawley is very weak right now. There are only a handful of homes available for sale, and most of them are not selling very quickly. In fact, only one home has sold in the past year! This lack of demand is likely due to several factors: 1) The economy has been struggling overall; 2) There are few jobs available; and 3) The homes that are available are not very affordable.

Despite these challenges, there are still some good reasons to buy or rent property in Hawley. First of all, it's a great place to live if you're looking for a quiet environment surrounded by beautiful countryside. Second, it's close enough to major cities ( Pittsburgh and Altoona) that you can easily get around without having to rely on public transportation or cars. And finally, prices for homes here tend to be lower than they are in other parts of Pennsylvania (especially Pittsburgh). So if you're looking for an affordable place to call home while you wait out the current economic conditions, Hawley may be a good option for you!
