🧭 Median vs. Average — What’s the Difference?
The median price represents the midpoint of all homes sold — meaning half sold for more, half for less. It’s a great indicator of the typical home value in the market because it’s less affected by outliers.
The average price, on the other hand, is the total of all home sale prices divided by the number of sales. A few high-end or luxury properties can pull this number upward, and vice versa with properties in poor condition in the opposite direction.
In September, the average sale price of $359,591 shows the influence of upper-tier and lakefront properties, while the median price of $318,000 reflects the core of the market — steady, attainable, and strong across most Pocono communities.
🏡 What These Numbers Mean
The median price continues to reflect solid buyer demand, while the rising price per square foot shows growing confidence in the Poconos’ long-term value. With homes averaging less than two months on the market, well-priced listings are still moving quickly — especially in desirable areas like Pocono Lake, Albrightsville, and Hawley.
Inventory has loosened slightly, giving buyers more choice heading into winter. Sellers who prepare their homes well and price strategically continue to achieve strong returns, particularly in amenity-rich or short-term-rental-friendly neighborhoods.
🍂 Looking Ahead
As we move deeper into fall, the market is expected to remain steady before picking up again in early spring. For both buyers and sellers, this is a great time to act — with motivated clients on both sides and a healthy balance between opportunity and demand.
