BREAKING: 18 properties in Dauphin County have sold for at least $3 million in 2025, according to newly released county records. This significant surge in high-value real estate transactions highlights the growing demand and investment in the region.
The largest sales include a mix of commercial and residential properties, with only nine out of the county’s 40 municipalities achieving this benchmark. Notably, Susquehanna Township led with six transactions, while Derry Township followed closely with three. This year saw a decline from 25 properties sold for over $5 million in 2024 to just six such transactions.
The most remarkable sale occurred on March 6, when the Buonarroti Trust/Vartan Company sold a significant property in Middle Paxton Township to the Nature Conservancy. This land, adjacent to State Game Lands 211, will enhance a vital wildlife corridor stretching over 30 miles and is part of the Kittatinny Ridge, a crucial migratory route for various North American wildlife species.
On July 14, the Susquehanna Township School District acquired a former office building at 4401 Deer Path Road for $3 million. The district plans to transform this building into a school for fifth and sixth graders, featuring at least 25 classrooms and a multi-purpose room for physical education and community events. This investment aims to support specialized educational programs, including a cyberschool and alternative education initiatives for students facing behavioral challenges.
Another notable transaction occurred on April 23, when Philadelphia Macaroni Company sold its property at 523 S. 17th St. in Harrisburg to US Durum Products Ltd. for $3.2 million. The company, which is relocating from East Lampeter Township, plans to invest $8 million in renovations, retaining 39 jobs and creating 25 new positions in the process.
The overall trend in high-value sales reflects a robust real estate market in Dauphin County, despite the decrease in ultra-high-value transactions. With the growing interest in the area, local authorities and investors are keenly focused on the evolving landscape.
