Summer Market Stays Strong as Inventory Hits Seasonal Highs in Greater Harrisburg Region

HARRISBURG, PA – July 10, 2025 – The Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS® (GHAR) has released its June 2025 housing market report for Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry counties, revealing that the summer market is gaining momentum with increased inventory and steady buyer activity.

While some areas saw a slight dip in new listings and pending sales compared to last month, the overall market is demonstrating strength, particularly with active inventory reaching its highest June levels in the past five years across all three counties. Home prices remain steady or have risen year-over-year, and closed sales continue to show positive movement, especially in Cumberland County.

“As we head into the 2nd half of 2025, the real estate market in Central PA remains strong. We saw an overall increase in closed sales compared to June 2024, with especially notable growth in pricing for Cumberland and Perry counties,” says 2025 GHAR President Jimmy Koury.

“While new listings and homes going under contract dropped when compared to last month – especially in Dauphin County – buyer demand remains strong, as evidenced with the increased prices and stable days on market. Trends say that we are headed to a more balanced market, but there are certainly pockets and price points within our 3-county region that remain a strong seller’s market.”
