Berwick Real Estate Market Update
The 12 months ending August 31, 2026
One hundred and thirty two homes sold in ZIP 18603 in the twelve months from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, at a median sale price of $202,500. The same twelve months a year earlier recorded 116 sales at a median of $190,000. (Source: FlexMLS, ZIP 18603, residential closed sales. Two sales were set aside because the recorded original asking price was below the final asking price, which is not possible as a price cut.)
This report covers the Berwick postal area, ZIP 18603, which takes in parts of both Columbia and Luzerne counties. That is the market a Berwick homeowner actually competes in, so it is the market we measure. Our county reports are scoped to their county; this one is not.
Berwick is reported on a twelve-month window. A single quarter here runs in the mid thirties, close enough to our minimum that the median moves on which homes happen to settle rather than on the market. Half of those 132 homes went under contract in 18 days or less, and the median home sold for 99.9 percent of its final asking price. The ZIP carried an average of 26 homes for sale a month, or about 2.3 months of supply. A balanced market usually carries four to six months. (Source: FlexMLS.)
Priced to Sell or Priced to Sit
Berwick shows the same two-speed pattern we track across the region. Fifty four homes went under contract within two weeks, at a median of five days. Almost none of them cut their price, and they closed at 100 percent of what they first asked. A separate group of 19 homes sat for ninety days or more, at a median of 139 days. Seventy four percent of that group cut their price, and they closed at 86 percent of their original asking price. (Source: FlexMLS, ZIP 18603, residential closed sales, September 2025 through August 2026.)
Against the final asking price the two groups are nearly indistinguishable, because a home that has already cut twice sells close to its reduced number. The fourteen-point gap only appears against the price the seller first put out, and that is the number the seller is measuring against. Berwick has the widest gap of any market we report, which makes the launch price the single most consequential decision here.
The Missing Half
In the twelve months ending June 2019, ZIP 18603 carried an average of 70 homes for sale each month and recorded 190 sales. Over the past twelve months it averaged 26 homes for sale and recorded 134 sales. (Source: FlexMLS.)
Both sides of that moved. Fewer homes are selling, and far fewer are standing available while they do. It is a structural change that has been building for years rather than anything that happened this season, and it is not something one strong spring of new listings would reverse.

Why Online Estimates Miss What Makes Your Home Unique
Zillow and similar platforms use algorithm-based estimates drawn from public tax records and broad market data. They cannot see your renovated kitchen, your roof’s condition, your lot location, or whether your property backs to tree cover or a busy road.
A Comparative Market Analysis from Mid Penn Realty uses actual sold data from Berwick and Columbia County: properties with similar size, age, condition, and location that closed recently. That is what buyers and their agents use to write offers. You should have the same information.
Current market snapshot (Market Pulse, 18603, June 2026): median sold price $230,000, 30 active listings, list-to-sale ratio 99.6%, median days on market 9 days. Median sale price is up 12.2% versus the prior reporting period. Homes are selling in a median of just 9 days at 99.6% of list price, reflecting strong buyer demand and very little room for negotiation. With about 30 active listings and roughly 2.14 months of supply, sellers currently hold the advantage in nearly every transaction.
