Where the sales come from in Pennsylvania

When a deed is recorded, the county Recorder of Deeds collects the 1% state realty transfer tax (usually plus a local transfer tax) on the property's value. The price is part of the recorded deed and the county's sales records.

Realty transfer tax (state, plus local): "Pennsylvania realty transfer tax is imposed at a rate of 1 percent on the value of real estate" and "is collected, often along with an additional local realty transfer tax, by county Recorders of Deeds."

Pennsylvania has 67 counties. Property Scan covers any of them, pulled on demand.

Official open data on Pennsylvania sales:

Every comp in a Property Scan report is a closed sale with a recorded price, adjusted for market time with the FHFA House Price Index for Pennsylvania, which rose 3.9% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).

Pricing opinions under Pennsylvania rules

Pennsylvania's license law defines the comparative market analysis that brokers and salespersons prepare. Every CMA must print a fixed statement on its first page saying it is not an appraisal, and a CMA is not treated as an appraisal under the appraiser certification act. CMA fees are paid to the broker. Section 608.6 separately covers broker price opinions.

“(a) A comparative market analysis must contain the following statement printed conspicuously and without change on the first page: This analysis has not been performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice which require valuers to act as unbiased, disinterested third parties with impartiality, objectivity and independence and without accommodation of personal interest. It is not to be construed as an appraisal and may not be used as such for any purpose.”
Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (Act of Feb. 19, 1980, P.L. 15, No. 9), Section 608.3 (as amended 2018, P.L. 500, No. 75); see also Sections 201 ('Comparative market analysis') and 608.6 (Broker price opinion)

A Property Scan report prints “Comparative market analysis. Not an appraisal.” It doesn't print the statement this Pennsylvania rule sets out, so where the rule applies, add that statement before you give the report to anyone. Not legal advice.
