Market snapshot (latest published data)
Prices: Redfin’s ZIP-level trends report a January 2026 median sale price of $189,900 (+8.6% year over year) and a median $/sq ft of $127. Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard (Dec 2025) shows a higher median home value of $217,500, which is best read as a listing/market summary rather than closed-sale pricing.
Pace: Redfin reports homes averaging 48 days on market in January 2026 (up from 42 days a year earlier) and fewer sales year over year (75 vs. 103). Realtor.com’s ZIP page shows 75 days on market in its December 2025 window—consistent with a slower winter cadence.
Rentals: Realtor.com lists 44 rentals in 17701 and a median rent of $1,200/month (Dec 2025). If you’re a landlord, this is a reminder to keep units well-maintained; if you’re a renter, it can be worth watching new listings daily and moving quickly on clean, well-priced units.
