The statewide housing market has continued to see prices increase since the beginning of the year. The median home price was up about 5% from $305,000 compared to May 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state\u2019s rising home prices reflect the sustained demand for homes, and the growing inventory provides consumers with more opportunities and choices,\u201d said PAR\u2019s 2026 President David Dean, a Realtor\u00ae with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services in the Pittsburgh region. \u201cThese trends are creating a healthier and more balanced market for buyers and sellers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The number of homes on the market jumped about 12% from April to May, going from about 40,000 listings in April to more than 44,800 in May. Listings were down 5% compared to the same time last year.<\/p>\n<p>Sales were also up month-over-month, hitting nearly 10,900 in May, compared to about 9,400 in April. However, the number of sales was down about 5.5% compared to May 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHomebuyers should approach today\u2019s housing market with patience and preparation. While increased inventory is providing more options, competition remains strong in many local areas,\u201d Dean said.<\/p>\n<p><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pennwatchmedia.com\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PW_2024_LeaderAd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PW_2024_LeaderAd.png\" alt=\"\"   width=\"728\" height=\"90\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The spring housing market hit another high this year when the Pennsylvania median home sales price hit $320,000&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-226497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
