Greater Philadelphia Real Estate Market Update
October–November 2025
The housing market across the Greater Philadelphia region continues to shift toward a more balanced state. Prices are still trending upward in most counties, though at a modest pace. Inventory levels are beginning to rise, and homes are taking slightly longer to sell compared to last year. Sellers still hold some leverage, but buyers are gaining increased opportunity as competition cools from summer highs.
The stats below are for each overall County but if you want information about a specific area, please reach out and I can share more exact statistics.
