Wilkes-Barre real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Wilkes-Barre real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Year-over-year, Wilkes-Barre’s housing numbers show mixed movement, with typical home values down about 2.94 percent even as neighboring Luzerne County values are up 6.15 percent to roughly $207,000. At the same time, buyers are taking longer to commit, as median days on market have climbed about 90.63 percent over the past year.
In February 2026, the typical home value in Wilkes-Barre was about $165,000, while the median list price sat higher at roughly $199,000. Even with only 71 homes on the market and 2.4 months of supply, homes spent a median of 61 days on market and nearly 31 percent of listings saw price drops, reflecting some push and pull between buyer caution and limited options.
Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to a slight dip in typical values to around $157,875 even as the projected median list price rises to about $210,000 and inventory edges down to 60 homes. Sellers still hold some leverage in this seller’s market, but with only about 24 percent of homes selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.96, pricing strategy and negotiation matter for both sides, and Agent Pronto can help buyers and sellers find an agent who understands these dynamics.

Learn more about what Wilkes-Barre has to offer.
Wilkes-Barre offers residents a vibrant, affordable, and historically rich community with welcoming neighbors and convenient access to parks, culture, and year-round events.
Wilkes-Barre sits along the Susquehanna River with quick access to I-81, the Northeast Extension, and regional employers in Scranton and the wider Luzerne County. Residents appreciate relatively short commutes, a compact downtown, and a mix of historic homes, brick row houses, and newer subdivisions that support a range of budgets and lifestyles.
Daily life is practical and convenient. Downtown offers cultural anchors like the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts and the Osterhout Free Library, along with local coffee shops and casual dining. Students and staff bring energy to the Wilkes University and King’s College campuses, while nearby Mohegan Pennsylvania adds entertainment and dining options a short drive from most neighborhoods.
Outdoor access is a major draw. The Wilkes-Barre River Common provides paved paths, green space, and river views right next to downtown. Families often spend weekends at Nesbitt Park or explore regional trails that connect to the Wyoming Valley. Everyday errands are straightforward, with shopping centers, healthcare providers, and schools close to residential areas.
