Rising Home Listings Signal Increased Opportunities for Homebuyers

Throughout the commonwealth, we’re seeing a growing number of listings on the market. In fact, the Pennsylvania housing market has seen the most significant number of home listings since 2022.

In September, there were more than 43,000 homes on the market, up 7% from the same time the previous year, according to a report prepared for the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors®. Listings also swelled in September from 41,500 in August 2025.

Inventory levels reached 4.46 months last month, inching closer to the six-month mark considered a balanced market. Nearly every price range has reached more than four months of inventory, with an exception in the $250,000-$374,999 range.

The median home price continued to hold steady at $299,900 in September, up 3.4% compared to September 2024. However, the median price declined 6% compared to the previous month.

Listings, sales and prices have all increased compared to this time last year. The rise in new listings has helped create a more balanced market, while steady demand has supported higher sales and prices. Overall, these trends point to continued stability in housing activity year over year.

Home sales escalated nearly 10% year over year in September, with 10,696 sales. Sales dipped slightly from 11,470 in August.
