Benton PA 17814 Real Estate Market Update

Updated June 2026

$215,100 Median Sale Price
80 Days Median Days on Market
2.0 Months Months of Supply
95.9% List-to-Sale Ratio

The Benton PA 17814 market is showing seller-favorable conditions this April, with the median sale price reaching $215,100 against a median list price of $249,900, and buyers paying an average of 95.9 cents on every listed dollar. With only 8 active listings and 2 months of supply, available inventory in this part of Columbia County remains quite limited, which continues to support seller leverage even as homes are taking longer to find the right buyer.

The 80-day median days on market tells a nuanced story for a small rural market like Benton. Homes here tend to attract a narrower pool of buyers than larger nearby communities, so patience is part of the process, but sellers are still closing very close to their asking prices when the right buyer arrives. Historical comparison data for this specific area and period is not yet available, and tracking this market over additional report periods would help establish a reliable local baseline for context.

How This Compares to Normal

Without historical comparison data specific to Benton PA 17814, it is difficult to say with precision whether the current 80-day median days on market is typical or elevated for this area, though rural Columbia County communities routinely see longer selling timelines than the broader regional market. What stands out is the 19.5 percent price increase compared to the prior period, which suggests meaningful appreciation even in a market with a small number of transactions. When only 8 homes are active at a time, a few strong sales can move the median noticeably, so that trend is worth watching across additional report periods before drawing firm conclusions. As more data accumulates for Benton and the surrounding 17814 zip code, the Mid Penn Market Pulse will be able to provide the kind of year-over-year and seasonal comparisons that give buyers and sellers a clearer picture of what is truly normal for this community.
