Pottsville, PA Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

Pottsville produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last 12 months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 261
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $105,000
• •Median of MLS-listed sales alone, last 12 months: $127,450
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $63
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $60,000 and $182,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 261 closed sales in Pottsville over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $105,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $60,000 and $182,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 245 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $39 and $97 per square foot.

Where Pottsville sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Pottsville over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $60,000 and $182,000. Among the 48 Pennsylvania markets with a published band, Pottsville's middle-half spread ($60,000 to $182,000) ranks 46th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Contract to closing: a median of 34 days, across 152 Pottsville closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months

The Pottsville angle

Pottsville gave us 261 tracked closings in the last 12 months, a median closed sale price of $105,000, and a middle half between $60,000 and $182,000. That band sits among the widest spreads we track, which tells you the citywide median is a weak anchor for any single property here. Two houses can both be entirely ordinary for this market and be worth very different amounts, and the distance from $105,000 up to $182,000 is longer than the distance down to $60,000.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Pottsville address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Pottsville over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Pottsville city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 27% of the 261 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $127,450.
