The recent downturn in the real estate market is underscored by a significant drop in both sales and new listings. In December, home sales fell sharply, reflecting the overarching economic challenges faced by potential buyers. Concurrently, the number of new listings decreased to 30,595, down from 34,812 during the same period the previous year. This dual decline indicates a tightening inventory which may further exacerbate the market’s sluggishness, as prospective homebuyers are left with fewer options.

Key elements from the report include:
– **Sales Decline**: Home sales have decreased notably, signaling reduced buyer activity in the market.
– **New Listings Down**: The number of new listings has fallen by over 4,200 year-over-year, indicating a contraction in available properties.
– **Market Implications**: The drop in both sales and listings may lead to increased competition for the limited homes available, potentially influencing pricing dynamics in the future.

This combination of factors paints a concerning picture for the Pennsylvania housing market.
