Here's a look at Home Sales & Prices in Harrisburg PA.  Homes for sale in this area largely include Harrisburg City and the Pennsylvania Capital area.  These statistics are from 2004-2008 of residential homes listed on the Central Penn Multi-List, which covers Dauphin, Perry, Cumberland Counties:

Notice how the sales peaked in 2006, but the listings peaked in 2007.  2008 Home Sales dropped to 2003 levels.

 

Here's a look at the average prices of Harrisburg PA Homes during the 2004-2008 period:

Note that the average list price of Harrisburg Homes that actually sold (the dark blue line) corresponds closely to the average sold price.  There's a bunch of reasons for that.  What's really interesting, though, is the average listing price of homes that did not sell.  Take a look at the green line - it's rapidly climbing!  So, the Harrisburg home seller looking to get $100K in 2008 would have had to settle for $75K?  Hmmm.  After a low period, expired listings came roaring back to 22% of listings in 2008.
