Radon and Real Estate in Central PA: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
If you are buying or selling a home in Centre County, Blair County, or the surrounding Central Pennsylvania region, radon is almost guaranteed to come up during the transaction.
Because of our local geology—heavy in porous limestone, sandstone, and shale—Central PA is known for elevated indoor radon levels. In fact, county test averages in areas like State College and Centre Hall often reach double the EPA’s recommended action threshold, and about 40% of homes across Pennsylvania test high.
Understanding how radon impacts a real estate transaction can keep your sale moving smoothly without unnecessary delays or panic.
