A real, disclosed price spread

City figures ranged from $165,000 (median home price, down 0.04% YoY) to $209,960 (average value, up 5.9% YoY), while Erie County's own broader figures ran somewhat higher ($219,333 average, $188,333 median sale price).

Homes are moving quickly

Homes go to pending in around 6 days -- a real signal of continued buyer demand even amid the city's disclosed population decline.

A declining population is a real demand-side factor

Erie's city-proper population has declined approximately 3.87% since 2020 -- the most substantial decline among this project's Pennsylvania Tier A markets built this pass -- a real, disclosed factor worth weighing against the market's continued fast pace.
