Home sales dipped in the Harrisburg area in February, but the median price rose substantially, according to the latest monthly sales report.

For the three-county region, 456 previously owned houses sold during the month, compared to 471 in February 2021. However, the median price increased to $227,000 versus $194,900 in the year-ago period, said the Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors (GHAR).

In Dauphin County, sales totaled 233 homes, a decrease of 11 units, but the median price leaped to $193,550 compared to $170,450 a year ago, according to GHAR.

Cumberland County saw a 10-unit drop in total sales, to 196 homes, but the median price rallied to $270,800 versus $231,500 last February, GHAR stated.

In Perry County, sales were nearly flat at 20 homes, a decrease of one unit, but the median price also was much higher, to $189,900 in February from $165,000 a year ago, according to GHAR.

The pace of sales was mostly unchanged, as “days on the market” totaled 29, versus 30 in February 2021, said GHAR.
