Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Old Forge real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Old Forge home values have shifted sharply over the past year, with the typical home value down about 36.76 percent. Homes now typically sit on the market much longer than a year ago, with median days on market up 185.71 percent. At the same time, pending sales have climbed 50.0 percent year over year, even as new listings have fallen 66.67 percent.
In February 2026, the typical home value in Old Forge was about $163,750, while the median list price was lower at $117,250, reflecting recent price adjustments and seller expectations. Homes spent a median of 40 days on the market, and with just 10 active listings and 2 new listings, supply was limited at roughly 2.5 months of inventory.
Despite the drop in values, competition is still present, with about 50 percent of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio around 1.014. Price cuts are also common, occurring on about 60 percent of listings, signaling some push and pull between buyers and sellers. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to inventory easing to around 6 homes, with a projected typical home value near $123,125 and a projected median list price around $50,925. With Old Forge priced below Lackawanna County’s typical value of $253,000 and labeled a seller’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right local agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
