It’s getting even more expensive to buy a home in Pennsylvania. 

The Pennsylvania Association of Realtors reports that median home prices year-over-year for the third month in a row, reaching $315,000 in April. 

PAR said median home sale prices have jumped nearly 19% since the beginning of the year.  

Last month, the price was up 7.4% compared to the same time last year and up 5% over March. 

At the same time, sales increased by more than 15% compared to the previous month, hitting over 9,400 in April.  

However, that figure is down 8% compared to the same time last year. 

 “Home prices have continued to rise this year in many markets throughout the commonwealth,” said PAR’s 2026 President David Dean. “Limited housing supply, steady buyer demand and homeowners staying in place longer have helped keep upward pressure on home prices.” 

 The number of listings on the market is up from the previous month, although down compared to the same time last year. There were more than 40,000 listings in April, compared to 37,260 in March.
