A gated 2.5-acre property in Wyoming sold for $1 million, the highest of five reported home sales in the Scranton metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.

Scranton, Pennsylvania Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: $1 Million Wyoming Home Tops the Week

The house at 41 Somerfields Dr in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, built in 2004, holds six bedrooms, five full baths and a reported 5,734 square feet, and its lower level opens onto a heated in-ground pool. The $1 million sale led five home sales reported across the Scranton metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026, a group that combined for $3.11 million.

The other four closings landed in Factoryville, Archbald and Gouldsboro, and both Gouldsboro sales sit inside the same Big Bass Lake community. Recreation runs through much of the week’s record: the two Big Bass Lake houses each sold fully furnished and with a hot tub, the Factoryville property sits minutes from Lake Winola and Stone Hedge Golf Course, and in-ground pools came with the Wyoming and Archbald homes. Lot sizes ranged from a wooded 1.1-acre parcel at Big Bass Lake to more than 14 acres of country land in Factoryville.
