Hazleton real estate update: quicker sales pace, active inventory
Hazleton, PA – March 1, 2026 – Home values and sales signals diverged: Redfin shows a $230K median sale, while Zillow tracks $208K typical value.
Hazleton, PA housing signals stayed mixed heading into March. Recent closed-sale reporting points to softer year-over-year pricing, while broader home-value tracking still shows gains. At the same time, marketing time tightened, suggesting buyers are moving quickly when the right home hits the market.
Top takeaways
- Closed sales (Redfin): January 2026 median sale price was $230K (down 15.6% year-over-year), with homes selling in about 23 days.
- Home values (Zillow): Typical home value was about $208K (up 5.3% over the past year, data through Jan. 31, 2026).
- Supply (Zillow): 101 homes for sale and 21 new listings as of Jan. 31, 2026.
Market snapshot
On the closed-sale side, Redfin also reported 11 homes sold in January 2026 and a median $129 per square foot. Those data points collectively describe a market where deals are still happening, but recent pricing is tracking lower year-over-year even as the pace of sale looks relatively brisk.
On the broader pricing and listings side, Zillow reported a median list price of about $316K (as of Jan. 31, 2026) and a median sale price of about $172K (as of Dec. 31, 2025). Read together, those figures underscore a gap between what sellers are asking and what recent closes have reflected, even while the “typical value” metric remains higher year-over-year.
