Scranton PA Real Estate Market — What Sellers Need to Know
Scranton is the county seat of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, and the heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). The reviewed packet uses the Redfin Data Center all_cities.csv exact Scranton city row as the primary transaction source: rolling 3 months 2026-02-01 to 2026-04-30, last updated 2026-05-03, $221,885 median sale price, 145 homes sold, 24 median days on market, 97.75% average sale-to-list, 346 active listings, and 228 new listings.
Scranton Transfer Tax — Know Your Numbers Before You List
The reviewed packet treats Scranton/Lackawanna transfer-tax, deed recording, title, lien, and closing-cost claims as source-gated and property-specific. Use the Lackawanna County Recorder of Deeds as a source path, then confirm current costs with the title company or legal adviser before relying on a net sheet. USA Home Buyers writes closing-cost handling into the offer after those inputs are verified.
The reviewed packet supports Lackawanna County official paths for process questions: Recorder of Deeds, Register of Wills / Clerk of Orphans' Court, and Sheriff Sales. Those are source paths only. Probate authority, foreclosure timing, sale dates, title, liens, payoffs, deed costs, and legal options need direct record/legal/title review before relying on them.

The reviewed packet supports current Scranton city market context, but it does not verify property-specific transfer tax, deed recording, title, lien, probate, foreclosure, or closing-cost math. A direct cash sale can avoid showings, repairs, listing uncertainty, and agent hassle; final net proceeds should be compared after title and settlement inputs are verified.
