December’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $162,250—down 12.77% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $218,500 in Luzerne County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $217,750 in January.
Plains had 5 new listings and 4 listings that went under contract in December, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 4—up 33.33% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in January.
Of those 4 active listings, 25.0% reduced their price in the month of December. The median listing price for homes in Plains fell 25.57% from November to December, bringing the current median listing price to $195,000. Based on projected data for January, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In December 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 5 days, compared to 5 days in December 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be rising. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this January.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
