The Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area is Luzerne County’s economic anchor. The city offers commercial and industrial opportunity across its business districts and riverfront corridor, while the surrounding boroughs of Kingston, Forty Fort, Wyoming, and Swoyersville provide residential depth across price points. Plains Township and Hanover Township add commercial and retail inventory to the mix.

The Back Mountain is one of Luzerne County’s most established and desirable residential submarkets. Communities like Dallas Borough and Shavertown are anchored by top-rated schools, lakefront access, and a strong base of long-term homeowners. The area draws buyers looking for suburban character with easy access to the broader Wyoming Valley, offering consistently strong residential values and a well-established sense of community.

Lackawanna County’s market is anchored by Scranton, the region’s largest city, with strong commercial, industrial, and residential demand across its urban neighborhoods and suburban corridors. Old Forge, Moosic, and the Route 11 communities offer industrial and retail opportunity, while Clarks Summit and the Abington communities attract residential buyers seeking commuter access with established suburban character.

Wyoming County offers the area’s most rural residential character, anchored by Tunkhannock on the North Branch Susquehanna and supported by Procter & Gamble’s major manufacturing presence in Mehoopany. This market serves buyers seeking land, agricultural properties, and affordable rural residential options within reach of the Wyoming Valley, with recreational and natural assets that attract both primary and secondary buyers.

The Pocono communities along Route 940 and I-380 sit at the transition between the locale’s traditional residential market and the Pocono Mountain resort corridor. Communities like Tobyhanna, Lake Ariel, and Gouldsboro attract full-time residents, vacation home buyers, and investors drawn to the natural character of the Pocono plateau. The region extends into Pike and Wayne counties, where Hawley, Honesdale, Milford, and the Lake Wallenpaupack communities offer lakefront property, second homes, and rural residential value. With the Tobyhanna Army Depot anchoring employment in the area, this market offers a range of property types at prices that consistently provide real value across the broader Pocono region.
