Where people in Scranton are looking to buy homes<\/p>\n
Home prices are largely starting to normalize<\/a> across the country, but remain high even as more homes come to the market.<\/p>\n Near record-high mortgage rates are keeping homes largely unaffordable for most buyers. Even a percentage point increase can increase a monthly mortgage payment by more than $100.<\/p>\n That’s causing potential homeowners to expand their searches outside costly urban cores, especially when they can work from home.<\/p>\n Stacker<\/a> examined data from Realtor.com<\/a>‘s Cross-Market Demand Report<\/a> to see where people in Scranton are looking to buy homes. View share is based on page views of active listings during the third quarter of 2025 on Realtor.com<\/a>. It does not include international viewers.<\/p>\n #10.
