Janelle Stelson changes voter registration to Cumberland County
(WHTM) – Congressional candidate Janelle Stelson (D) has formally changed voter registration into the Pennsylvania 10th District from Lancaster County to Cumberland County. According to voter registration data, Stelson is now registered to vote in Camp Hill after using a Manheim Township address outside the district in her 2024 campaign. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now According to the Stelson campaign, Stelson is renting a Camp Hill residence, which is 'now her home.' The campaign noted Stelson moved to Camp Hill 'earlier this year;' however, her voter registration showed her living in Lancaster County last month when she entered the race. Lancaster County property information shows Stelson is currently listed as the owner of the Manheim Township residence where she was registered to vote in 2024. Stelson lost the 2024 10th District race to incumbent Congressman Scott Perry (R) by 5,133 votes, the closest a Democrat has come to unseating Perry since he was elected in 2012. During the abc27 debate with Perry last year, Stelson called the congressional district map an 'arbitrarily drawn line.' Pennsylvania law does not require a candidate to live in their district; however, Stelson was unable to vote for herself in the 2024 election. Stelson pledged multiple times during the 2024 campaign to move into the 10th District. Still, her voter registration remained in Lancaster County on Election Day. In a statement following Stelson's announcement in July, Matt Beynon, spokesman for Patriots for Perry, called Stelson a 'carpetbagger who can't vote for herself.' Garrity says 'stay tuned,' attacks Shaprio in Governor campaign style ad 'Janelle Stelson's still a racist who refused to apologize for disparaging Asian Americans,' said Beynon. 'Janelle Stelson still supports raising the taxes of hardworking south central Pennsylvanians by more than $2,000. And Janelle Stelson will lose again because the Voters of the 10th congressional district know they have a leader in Scott Perry fighting for them.' According to voting records, Perry is registered to vote in Dillsburg, York County. The 10th District consists of Dauphin County and portions of Cumberland and York counties.

Empty city land block sells just short of $1.8 million at auction
An empty and overgrown block of land in Camp Hill has sold for $1.78 million dollars, beating the Brisbane suburb's median house price at a weekend auction. The 607 sqm land at 22 Hobart Ave was once home to an old house that had not been sold since 1972. When the house was sold in 2023 for $1.315 million, owners Brooke and Mark decided to knock it down and build their dream home. But as their plans changed, the land was left unused for nearly two years, and the couple decided to hand it to a new owner. Place Bulimba agent Jack Hill said he had met close to a dozen people during open 'land' meetings for the property, where he chatted to people checking out the block. 'We were pretty confident that the land was going to sell, purely because the opportunity for land like this in Camp Hill is super rare,' he said. 'By 8am that morning we had no registered bidders … right on the cusp of 10am, we had five.' The vendors had received several offers before the auction in the low $1.7 million range, so bidding began at $1.7 million that Saturday morning. This was in line with the sellers' expectations: the land had an elevated city view, and a subdivided tennis court nearby had also sold in the $1.7 million range. Bidding was tight between the five registered bidders, moving up from $1.72 million to $1.75 million. After a short break after $1.775 million – well over the expected reserve – an extra $5,000 was enough to seal the deal for one interested buyer, with the land going for $1.78 million. This was $2,000 more expensive than the median house price of the suburb, at $1.76 million. 'It's a frightening price,' Mr Wilson said. 'The sellers were over the moon.' While Mr Wilson met four of the five registered bidders during the campaign, he hadn't met the winning buyer until the day of the auction. The land has now gone to a family looking to build on the propery as owner-occupiers, eager to make their forever home. Mr Wilson said if someone did decide to sell a new build on this land, Brisbane's spiking property prices would net them an incredible profit. 'If you're putting $1m into a build, you're going to get a fantastic return on it,' he said.

Luxury builder's hotspot where homes cost ten times more
In Brisbane's inner-city hotspots, a wave of new designer homes has replaced humble post-war shacks – a symbol of how expensive it has become to own a home here. Boutique developer Caleb Adams is among young entrepreneurs cashing in on the change, building 15 homes in the suburb of Camp Hill alone, and 50 across Brisbane. PropTrack's generational analysis of housing costs reveals homes in Camp Hill cost a staggering ten times more than in 1980, even adjusted for inflation. The data shows a typical house in the suburb cost $32,000 45 years ago, which is $170,000 in today's dollars, taking into account income growth and living costs. But Camp Hill's current median house price is $1.775m, on the back of the nation's longest property boom. Mr Adams is a second-generation builder and developer who launched Pilgrim with a vision to elevate design in southeast Queensland's luxury home market. His brother, Joshua, also works with the company. Pilgrim is behind a string of multimillion-dollar homes that have redefined the suburb's streetscape. The latest to hit the market is a five-bedroom architectural stunner at 16 Indus Street, Camp Hill, marketed by Place Ascot agent Patrick McKinnon. 'Camp Hill stood out early as a suburb with huge potential for Pilgrim — tree-lined streets, elevation, vibey cafes, and rapidly growing property values, and a demographic of young families who value great design,' Mr Adams said. 'We saw an opportunity to create something fresh and timeless to the suburb and we haven't looked back.' Mr Adams was raised in Brisbane then spent 10 years in Melbourne after finishing uni at QUT. 'It felt inevitable that we would always end up back here,' he said. 'Development and building in Melbourne has long been an oversaturated space. 'At the time, Brisbane felt like an uncut gem. We believed the Brisbane design palette was just beginning to mature, and appreciation for thoughtfully designed new homes was on the horizon.' Former Virgin CEO to tear down $17m mansion But launching right as Covid struck, the business had a rocky start, losing $1.5m in their second year as supply chains collapsed and costs blew out. 'Covid was so challenging for builders... and as a young business, we wore the brunt of it,' Caleb reflects. 'We pivoted several times, restructuring operations and building everything from small lot duplexes to rooming houses — anything we could really. 'That season gave us our resilience and forced us to mature quickly. Pilgrim wouldn't be what it is now without that adversity.' Looking ahead, Pilgrim is eyeing expansions in to the Gold and Sunshine Coast, along with establishing a foundation to provide safe housing for those in need.
