Greater Philadelphia & South Jersey Housing Market Update | October 8, 2025

As we move deeper into the fall season, the Philadelphia metro housing market continues to show steady buyer demand and slightly increasing inventory, giving both sides of the table something to pay attention to.

Across Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties — and into South Jersey’s Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties — trends are holding close to last week’s numbers, but small shifts are beginning to signal how the rest of the year could play out. Curious what numbers looked like last week? Check out the market update here.  

Let’s take a look at how each county performed this week, according to Bright MLS data.

Philadelphia County, PA

• Days on Market: 51

• Units Sold: 1,129

• Units Listed: 2,079

• Current Inventory: 5,441
  
  

Philadelphia County continues to lead in sales volume, with over 1,100 homes sold this week. While homes are still taking about 51 days to sell, increased inventory means buyers have more breathing room than earlier this year.

Montgomery County, PA

• Days on Market: 24

• Units Sold: 719

• Units Listed: 1,019

• Current Inventory: 1,497
  
  

Montgomery County remains one of the most balanced markets in the region. Homes here continue to move quickly, averaging just over three weeks on market, and sellers are still seeing strong buyer activity — especially in well-maintained single-family homes.

Bucks County, PA

• Days on Market: 31

• Units Sold: 552

• Units Listed: 725

• Current Inventory: 1,122
  
  

Bucks County shows a steady pace in both listings and closings. With 725 new listings this week, inventory levels have remained consistent — a positive sign for buyers looking for fresh options as we enter Q4.

Delaware County, PA

• Days on Market: 24

• Units Sold: 467

• Units Listed: 667

• Current Inventory: 1,021
  
  

Delaware County homes are still moving fast, averaging just 24 days on market. With inventory just over 1,000 homes, competition is staying strong, particularly in Havertown, Media, and Springfield.

Burlington County, NJ

• Days on Market: 33

• Units Sold: 445

• Units Listed: 597

• Current Inventory: 1,080
  
  

Burlington County’s market continues its gradual seasonal slowdown, typical for October. Still, 445 homes sold this week shows solid demand in the South Jersey suburbs, where affordability and space remain key draws.

Camden County, NJ

• Days on Market: 31

• Units Sold: 451

• Units Listed: 630

• Current Inventory: 1,106
  
  

Camden County holds steady with nearly the same metrics as last week. The county’s inventory growth of over 1,100 homes is keeping things competitive yet accessible for fall buyers.

Gloucester County, NJ

• Days on Market: 34

• Units Sold: 329

• Units Listed: 436

• Current Inventory: 654
  
  

Gloucester County continues to perform consistently, with homes averaging around a month on market. New listings are trending slightly lower, signaling a potential tightening of inventory heading into late October.

What It Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Buyers:
Now is an excellent time to explore listings as more inventory hits the market. You’ll find better selection — but still enough competition to keep things moving. Make sure you’re pre-approved and ready to act quickly when the right home appears.

For Sellers:
Homes are still moving in a healthy timeframe, particularly in Montgomery and Delaware Counties. Well-staged and accurately priced homes are attracting strong offers within the first few weeks.
