Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Lackawanna County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at a seller’s market reading of 26. Inventory sits at 2.5 months of supply, below the roughly three-month level in Pennsylvania overall. Homes are moving quickly, with a median of just 15 days on market.
Prices show modest but steady movement while listing activity climbs. The typical home value is about $244,000, up slightly year over year, while the median list price has risen more strongly, increasing over 8 percent from a year ago. New listings are up more than 14 percent annually and active listings have grown by about 11 percent, bringing more options to the market even as conditions still favor sellers.
Buyer demand looks solid, with pending sales jumping nearly 30 percent year over year and the share of homes selling above list price rising to about 39 percent. On average, homes are closing at almost 100 percent of list price, underscoring limited room for negotiation when properties are priced well. With fewer days on market than a year ago and tight but improving inventory, having a skilled local agent is especially helpful, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right real estate professional in Lackawanna County.

“If you are looking for a real estate agent who combines professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for her clients, I highly recommend Dwana Woodley. From the beginning of the home-buying process, Dwana demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, ensuring every step was handled thoroughly and accurately. She remained proactive in identifying potential concerns, explaining options clearly, and keeping everything moving forward efficiently. Her negotiation skills played a critical role in putting me in the best position possible to purchase a home. Dwana consistently advocated on my behalf, balancing strategy with transparency while navigating discussions with the seller’s agent and coordinating closely with the loan servicer. Her ability to keep all parties aligned helped avoid delays and ensured progress throughout the process. What stood out most was her constant communication. I was never left wondering about the status of my purchase because Dwana provided timely updates,”
