Market Insights
The Lackawanna County Housing Market
Lackawanna County's housing market is defined by its coal heritage and the density of its boroughs. Scranton — the county seat and NEPA's largest city — contains everything from dense row-home blocks to Victorian neighborhoods, while surrounding boroughs like Dunmore, Old Forge, and Carbondale each carry their own character and price points. The county's median home value sits well below the national average, creating a market where cash buyers often provide the most practical path to sale.
Many Lackawanna County properties have been in the same families for generations. Estate sales, inherited homes with deferred maintenance, and multi-family rentals that have become burdensome are the most common situations we encounter. Traditional listings in these cases mean months of showings, repair negotiations, and financing contingencies that frequently fall through.
We buy in every Lackawanna County borough and township, and we understand the local assessment system, the title quirks that come with coal-era properties, and the realistic resale values in each neighborhood. That ground-level knowledge translates into faster, fairer offers for every homeowner we work with.

The county offices behind the situations we see most, what each one handles, and where to find it.
- Selling an inherited house
Register of Wills
123 Wyoming Ave., 5th floor, Scranton
The executor or administrator gets letters here, the papers that let them sign a deed for the estate. Probates are by appointment only.

- Behind on property taxes
Tax Claim Bureau
123 Wyoming Ave., 2nd floor, Scranton
Unpaid property taxes are turned over to the bureau by Jan. 31 and start earning 9% interest a year on Feb. 1. If they stay unpaid for two years, the owner gets a tax sale notice and the house is posted for the upset sale, held every September (Sept. 21 in 2026). Houses that don't sell there can go to a judicial sale the next spring.

Mortgage foreclosure sales are held in person at 10 a.m., and the winning bidder pays 10% when the bid is struck. If you've been sued, the county court's diversion program gives you 60 days to ask for a conference with the lender.
