Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Franklin County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year over year, Franklin County’s typical home value in August is up modestly, while the state as a whole saw a stronger gain. Active listings increased a bit faster locally than across Pennsylvania, and homes sold dipped compared with last August. Inventory has also built up, with months of supply rising more sharply in the county than statewide.
In the latest monthly snapshot, typical home value sits just under $300,000, close to the median list price. Buyers are seeing more options, with active listings up more than 8 percent from July and new listings rising nearly 13 percent.
Conditions still lean toward sellers, but August shows a more balanced feel than earlier in the year. Homes are selling faster than last year, with the median days on market down to about three weeks, yet closed sales have fallen almost 10 percent year over year. About 30 percent of homes sold above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, indicating buyers often pay close to list price. With months of supply at 3.1, Franklin County sits in a mild seller’s market where negotiation matters. In this kind of shifting environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent to help them navigate each step.
Franklin County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community, rich local history, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a supportive economy that together foster a high quality of life.
Franklin County stands out from larger nearby markets like Harrisburg and York County with its quieter pace, rural views, and walkable boroughs that still offer solid job access. Anchored by Chambersburg and Waynesboro, the county blends established neighborhoods with farmland and newer subdivisions, appealing to long‑time residents and newcomers alike.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate quick access to Caledonia State Park, the Appalachian Trail, and seasonal orchards around Shippensburg. In-town, you will find local favorites like GearHouse Brewing Co. in Chambersburg and Main Street Waynesboro events that keep community life active year round.
Families value the county’s schools, including Chambersburg Area School District and Waynesboro Area School District, along with resources like the Franklin County Library System. For commuters, proximity to Interstate 81 and routes into Washington and Baltimore broadens work and travel options while home prices often remain more attainable than in those metro areas.
Whether you are planning to move across town or into Franklin County for the first time, timing and preparation matter. Market conditions can vary between boroughs, school districts, and rural properties. Agent Pronto connects you with a local real estate professional who understands these nuances and can guide both buyers and sellers from early planning through a confident closing.

“A few months ago me my fiancé have were thinking of buying a home in the next couple years, but had no clue where to start or when we could start looking, so we reached out to Victoria. Fast forward and few months (now!!) and we're living in our first home already. She was so helpful explaining the house buying process and didn't judge any of our silly questions. We learned from her that we could buy a house soon, and that's when the search began. Victoria went above and beyond when it came to house touring, she would show us all the houses we wanted to see, and drove several hours a day to help us find our dream home. She would dedicate her whole day to show us 7 houses at one point, which shows her generous and eager spirit. Although she is new to real estate, we never felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She was always learning and researching for us, never left us with a question unanswered. I would recommend her for any first time homebuyers!”
