Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lackawanna County real estate market. *
June 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 (Jun 2026).
Lackawanna County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply has dropped to 1.9, well below the 2.9 months seen across Pennsylvania. Homes are also moving fairly quickly, spending a median of just 16 days on the market.
Prices have been edging higher, which supports that seller-friendly reading. The typical home value is up nearly 9 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed at a similar pace. Buyer activity is strong as well, with homes sold jumping about 31 percent from last year and pending sales up more than 18 percent. At the same time, new listings have risen year over year, but not as fast as sales, helping keep inventory tight and competition elevated.
Competition around individual listings shows up in the offer data. Nearly 39 percent of homes are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, meaning most sellers are getting very close to what they ask. Compared with the state overall, Lackawanna County offers lower price points but a leaner supply of homes, which can challenge buyers while benefiting sellers. In a market like this, both buyers and sellers can gain an edge by using Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local real estate agent who understands these trends.
