home prices<\/a> increased slightly compared to 2024, but far less than in the past few years.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\nThe yearly median price was $299,500 in 2025, compared to $286,712 in 2024. While that is a 4.5% increase, it was a much smaller one\u00a0than the\u00a0double-digit increases experienced in the past several years.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe housing market often sees a slowdown in December influenced by the holidays and weather in our region, but serious buyers who remain active tend to face less competition,\u201d said\u00a0PAR\u2019s 2026 President David Dean, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The report showed both listings and sales were down in December compared to the previous month and saw a more than 10% drop from December 2024.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
However, the average number of listings on the market increased 15% from 2024 to 2025.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cThe encouraging rise in the number of homes listed this year is giving buyers more options and helping to restore balance to the market, while also creating healthier conditions for sellers who are ready to make a move,\u201d Dean\u00a0said.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0The total number of sales last year was up 4.7% from 2024, reaching more than 116,000.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
