LEMOYNE, PA \u2014 Pennsylvania\u2019s housing market showed signs of firm stability in October as listings and prices held near September levels, while monthly sales climbed, according to new data from the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors\u00ae and the latest statewide housing report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More than 43,600 homes were on the market in October, nearly unchanged from the prior month\u2019s 43,300 listings. The report shows inventory has expanded sharply since early 2025, when just over 29,000 properties were listed statewide. Year over year, listings were up 6.1%.<\/p>\n

The median sales price remained stable at $300,000, inching up from $299,900 in September and rising 4.2% compared to October 2024. The state continues to sit firmly in a seller\u2019s market with 4.44 months of inventory \u2014 well below the six-month threshold typically associated with a balanced market, as shown in the report\u2019s inventory metrics on page 1.<\/p>\n

Home sales rose 4.5% month over month to 11,174 transactions, reflecting steady buyer engagement despite seasonal cooling. Compared with last year, sales were up 6.4%, supported by underlying consumer interest and gradually expanding supply.<\/p>\n

Bill Lublin, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors\u00ae and CEO of Century 21 Advantage Gold, said the recent uptick in listings is helping to even out market conditions. He noted that a stable environment benefits both sides of the transaction \u2014 ensuring sellers continue to see strong demand while buyers gain slightly more opportunity to find suitable homes.<\/p>\n

Lublin said the steady pricing underscores continued buyer confidence. He added that although headline indicators point to a calm, predictable market, consumers still rely on expert guidance to navigate complexities that don\u2019t always appear in monthly snapshots.<\/p>\n

Breakdowns within the report show consistent trends across price categories. Homes priced between $125,000 and $249,999 represented the largest share of October\u2019s active listings, with more than 11,400 properties on the market. Higher-end segments \u2014 such as homes priced above $1 million \u2014 remained tight, with just 1,687 listings and 7.4 months of inventory, according to the price-range table on page 1.<\/p>\n

Overall, Pennsylvania\u2019s fall housing activity reflects a market marked by stability, moderate price growth, and strengthening inventory \u2014 conditions that analysts say are fostering a more predictable landscape for both buyers and sellers heading into the year\u2019s final months.<\/p>\n
