HARRISBURG, Pa., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Just as Pennsylvania’s landscape has awakened with vibrant colors, the commonwealth’s real estate market has also sprung to life. A recent Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® housing market report reveals a resurgence in both homebuyer interest and seller activity this spring. The data underscores that the spring season endures as a prime time for those looking to buy and those ready to sell.
The report indicated a 35% surge in home sales across the commonwealth in April compared to the quieter winter month of February, with home sales totaling 9,161 in April compared to 6,751 in February.
“Springtime is considered peak season in the housing industry, and Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® market data supports that this spring is no exception,” said Bill Lublin, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® and CEO of Century 21 Advantage Gold in the Philadelphia region.. “We consistently observe a boost in buyer demand as families aim to settle into new homes before the summer months and the start of the academic year. Simultaneously, sellers are keen to showcase their properties under the most favorable conditions, capitalizing on enhanced curb appeal as landscapes bloom and there are more daylight hours.”
The housing market report also showed a nearly 22% increase in the number of homes listed for sale from February to April, providing more options for buyers. Additionally, when compared to the same period last year, home listing inventory increased by a notable 9.5%, suggesting more sellers recognize spring as an advantageous time to put their properties on the market.
“As the spring homebuying and selling season paves the way for a busy summer, Pennsylvania Realtors® are ready to provide guidance and support through every stage of the process, from initial property search to successful settlement for buyers and from listing to final closing for sellers,” Lublin said.
The expertise of a Realtor® can be invaluable to navigate the real estate market, he added.
“By partnering with a Realtor®, homebuyers and sellers can approach the complexities of the housing market with greater confidence,” Lublin said. “Realtors® offer local market knowledge, astute negotiation skills and a steadfast commitment to ensuring their clients’ best interests are always prioritized.”
A 2024 consumer survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors® found that 9 out of 10 home purchases are made with the professional services of a real estate agent, demonstrating that consumers prioritize agent expertise in the real estate process.
