Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Blair County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Buyer and seller activity in Blair County is moving at a steady clip, with 178 homes on the market and 114 going under contract. Months of supply sit at 2, signaling conditions that lean toward sellers. Homes are spending a median of 40 days on the market, which is notably slower than many fast-moving areas.
Pricing is adjusting even as listings change hands. The typical home value is about $155,000, down 6.06% from last year and 2.52% from last month, and well below the Pennsylvania average of $309,500. List prices are reacting differently, with the median list price at $169,250 and up 5.81% month over month, while about 38.76% of sellers have dropped their asking price.
Momentum on the demand side shows in a 14% year-over-year rise in pending sales and a 20% jump in new listings, even as inventory is down 5.82% from a year ago and 4.81% from last month. Roughly 24.14% of recent sales closed above asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio of 0.975 suggests buyers still have some room to negotiate. With Blair County rated a seller’s market at 16 on the market gauge and projections calling for a typical value near $153,000 and inventory around 173 homes next month, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
