Pennsylvanian housing prices continue to climb
Stacy Wescoe//June 22, 2026//
Listen to this articleThis spring the Pennsylvania housing market hit another high for the year, with the median home sales price hit $320,000 in May.
That’s up from $315,000 the previous month, according to the latest housing report prepared for the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors. The statewide housing market has continued to see prices increase since the beginning of the year. The median home price was up about 5% from $305,000 compared to May 2025.
“The state’s rising home prices reflect the sustained demand for homes, and the growing inventory provides consumers with more opportunities and choices,” said PAR’s 2026 President David Dean. “These trends are creating a healthier and more balanced market for buyers and sellers alike.”
The number of homes on the market jumped about 12% from April to May, going from about 40,000 listings in April to more than 44,800 in May. Listings were down 5% compared to the same time last year.
Sales were also up month-over-month, hitting nearly 10,900 in May, compared to about 9,400 in April.
However, the number of sales was down about 5.5% compared to May 2025.
“Homebuyers should approach today’s housing market with patience and preparation. While increased inventory is providing more options, competition remains strong in many local areas,” Dean said.
