What the sales history says · 14 years of sales

Bidding wars in Erie are back to pre-pandemic levels, and more homes are for sale

We read every month of Erie’s home sales since 2012 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to September 2026, 793 sales.

If you’re buying in Erie

  • Shop in March. It brings about 85 new listings a month, close to the busiest month, with fewer bidding wars (28% over asking).

  • You’ll usually have time. Only 30% of homes go under contract within two weeks; the typical one takes 57 days.
