Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lackawanna County real estate market. *
July 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 (Jul 2026).
Lackawanna County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply sit at 2.2, well below the roughly three months seen statewide in Pennsylvania. Homes are also selling at about 99 percent of their list price, showing buyers are paying close to asking.
July’s numbers show prices holding fairly steady while listing prices push higher. The typical home value is about $263,000, down slightly from a year ago, but the median list price has jumped more than 20 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are testing higher price points. Activity is solid, with 225 homes sold in July, up about 16 percent from last year, even as pending sales have dipped a bit compared with a year earlier.
Conditions have become less frenzied than last summer but still favor well-priced listings. Median days on market have risen to 19, a sharp increase from a year ago, yet more than one-third of homes are still selling above list, and about 39 percent go off the market within two weeks. Inventory has grown modestly over the past year while remaining tighter than the state overall, which supports pricing power for sellers but offers buyers more choices than in the past. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Lackawanna County’s numbers and trends.
