Harrisburg-area home sales and prices both rose on average last month, though the increase was not distributed evenly.

For the three-county region, 546 previously owned houses sold in October versus 514 in the year-ago period, as the median sales price rose to $275,000 from $267,000, according to the Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors (GHAR).

The Dauphin County market was strongest, as 258 homes sold versus 229 a year ago, and the median sales price increased to $255,000 from $229,000, GHAR said.

Cumberland County recorded 260 home sales compared to 242 in October 2023, though the median sales price dipped to $311,000 from $321,000, GHAR stated.

In Perry County, 31 homes sold, a drop of three, as the median sales price fell to $228,000 from $250,000 the prior year, according to GHAR.

For the region, the pace of sales slowed in October, as “average days on market” increased to 26 days from 18 days last October, GHAR said.
