Greater Harrisburg Housing Market Shows Mixed Activity to Start 2026
HARRISBURG, PA – February 10, 2026 – The Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS® reports mixed housing market conditions across Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry counties to start 2026. While inventory levels continued to increase in several areas, sales activity and pricing trends varied by county, reflecting a market that remains locally driven. Slightly longer marketing times and shifting price points signal a continued period of adjustment across the region.
“Real estate is local. These statistics clearly show that all real estate is local since there are variances in the data even across the three counties in our marketplace,” said 2026 GHAR President Tracee Carter. “Buyers and sellers should always consult with a REALTOR®, who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, who has expertise in their local market and can guide you through the buying or selling process.”
