Homes Are Sitting Longer, But Inventory Is Still Tight Across the Philly Region

Homes Are Sitting Longer, But Inventory Is Still Tight Across the Philly Region

Homes Are Still Moving, Here’s What This Week’s Market Numbers Tell Us

As we wrap up the final week of December, the housing market across the Philadelphia region continues to show steady movement, even as the year winds down. While activity naturally slows during the holidays, buyer demand hasn’t disappeared, and inventory levels across the region remain tight.

Here’s a quick look at what’s happening across the market this week.

Philadelphia County

  • Average Days on Market: 46 days

  • Homes Sold: 993

  • New Listings: 1,480

  • Current Inventory: 4,757 homes

Philadelphia continues to move at a measured pace as the year closes. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell compared to earlier in the fall, but inventory remains limited, which is helping values stay supported. Buyers still have options, but well-priced homes are continuing to attract attention.

Montgomery County

  • Average Days on Market: 26 days

  • Homes Sold: 622

  • New Listings: 655

  • Current Inventory: 1,130 homes

Montgomery County remains one of the fastest-moving markets in the region. With homes averaging under a month on the market, buyer demand is clearly still strong. Inventory remains tight, which continues to create competitive conditions for desirable properties.

Bucks County

  • Average Days on Market: 28 days

  • Homes Sold: 474

  • New Listings: 440

  • Current Inventory: 803 homes

Bucks County continues to show balance. Homes are moving quickly, but buyers still have opportunities — especially when listings are priced strategically. Inventory remains lean, which keeps pressure on buyers to act decisively.

Delaware County

  • Average Days on Market: 29 days

  • Homes Sold: 471

  • New Listings: 453

  • Current Inventory: 829 homes

Delaware County remains consistent, with homes selling in under a month on average. While new listings are still coming to market, overall inventory remains limited, supporting steady pricing and ongoing buyer interest.

Chester County

  • Average Days on Market: 36 days

  • Homes Sold: 381

  • New Listings: 419

  • Current Inventory: 826 homes

Chester County continues to offer slightly more breathing room for buyers compared to some neighboring areas. Homes are taking longer to sell, but inventory is still far from oversupplied — keeping the market stable heading into the new year.

Camden County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 36 days

  • Homes Sold: 409

  • New Listings: 453

  • Current Inventory: 945 homes

Camden County remains active, with steady buyer demand and a healthy flow of new listings. While days on market have ticked up slightly, inventory levels remain supportive of sellers who price correctly.

Burlington County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 36 days

  • Homes Sold: 381

  • New Listings: 419

  • Current Inventory: 826 homes

Burlington County continues to see consistent activity. Homes are spending a bit more time on the market, but buyer interest remains strong enough to keep inventory from building too quickly.

Gloucester County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 39 days

  • Homes Sold: 267

  • New Listings: 306

  • Current Inventory: 533 homes

Gloucester County shows a slightly slower pace, but inventory remains limited. For buyers looking for opportunity heading into the new year, this could be an area worth watching closely.

What This Means Heading Into the New Year

Even during the final week of December, the market across the Philadelphia region remains active. Inventory is still relatively low, homes are continuing to sell, and well-priced listings are moving — even with fewer buyers shopping during the holidays.

For buyers, this period can offer opportunity with less competition. For sellers, preparation and pricing remain key as we head into January.
