We are living in a time with historically low inventory of homes-for-sale, according to the Greater Lehigh Valley REALTORS (GLVR).
The organization issued new real estate market statistics for Carbon, Lehigh, and Northampton counties.
Since last month, not much has transpired. Or the previous month. It goes on and on. The stock is low. Accumulated costs have increased.
The figures from December support what REALTORS in the Greater Lehigh Valley are seeing firsthand: a constant demand from buyers and an exceedingly limited supply.
With 605 units available in Northampton and Lehigh counties, inventory fell 9.3% between December 2024 and December 2025.
In addition, a 2.3% rise to $337,500 from $329,950 for the median sales price. A measure of supply and demand, months supply of inventory indicates a decline of 8.3% to 1.1 months. In general, a good inventory will have enough items to last five to six months.
The median sales price in Carbon County increased to $286,000. A decrease of one to forty-three new postings was noted. There were 134 units in inventory, which is 2.3 months' worth of supplies.
The good news is that GLVR has been able to moderate price rise and improve pending sales, which is good signs of momentum as we approach 2026!
In additional good news for homebuyers, nationwide patterns indicate a slight reduction in the volatility of mortgage rates.
An average 30-year fixed mortgage rate this week was 6.06%. Not since September of 2022 has the average been so low.
