Lehigh Valley home prices hit another record high
Stacy Wescoe//August 13, 2025//
Home prices continue to skyrocket in the Lehigh Valley.
The Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors said July was another record-breaking month, with the median sales price reaching a record $375,000,surpassing the previous high set in June – an increase of 10.3%.
Meanwhile, closed sales held steady for the month at 624.
“While existing-home sales nationally saw a month-over-month decline (with the exception of the West), the Lehigh Valley continues to defy that trend with steady sales and another record-setting median price of $375,000,” said GLVR CEO Justin Porembo. “Nationally, the median existing-home sales price was $435,300 in July, which reinforces that the Lehigh Valley remains a more affordable option for buyers while still offering strong returns for sellers.”
Inventory continues to be a problem, with the number of homes on the market decreasing by 4.3%.
There was a total of 865 units available fin Lehigh and Northampton counties.
The inventory levels aren’t improving with new listings slipping 6.6% to 805.
Homes sold, on average, in 17 days, one day faster than the previous July.
In Carbon County, the Median Sales Price increased to $255,900. Closed Sales jumped to 71. Pending Sales grew to 75. New Listings creeped up to 106. Inventory decreased to 192 units, leading to a Months Supply of Inventory that declined to 3.3 months. Days on Market came in at 33 days.
“Hitting a new price record so soon after the last shows just how resilient the Lehigh Valley market continues to be,” said 2025 GLVR President Michael Bernadyn. “Homes are still selling quickly and, on average, for more than asking price — a clear sign that buyers are motivated and confident in our region’s long-term value.”
