What’s happening with house prices in Scranton in 2026?<\/p>\n

Home prices across the U.S. have remained at record highs for years, driven by a limited supply<\/a> and a persistent homebuilding shortage. More recently, economic uncertainty has kept more homebuyers on the sidelines, but it’s also discouraged home sellers, further limiting<\/a> new listings and putting upward pressure on prices. Sellers who are in the market often have to offer incentives<\/a> to attract offers from buyers\u2014many of whom are wary of how much they can afford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, prices have begun to grow more slowly, and Redfin predicts<\/a> that housing will become more affordable as wages outpace prices. But so far this year, the housing market has remained very slow<\/a>, leaving buyers and sellers trying to time their next move.<\/p>\n
