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

As we move further into February, the housing market across the Philadelphia region continues to show steady activity. While some areas are seeing homes spend more time on the market, inventory remains limited overall, and buyers are still actively making moves.

Well-presented and properly priced homes are still attracting strong interest.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

Overall, the Philadelphia-area housing market remains active and healthy. While homes are taking slightly longer to sell compared to peak conditions, inventory levels are still limited enough to support stable pricing.

For buyers, this means more opportunity and slightly less pressure than in recent years — but desirable homes are still moving quickly.

For sellers, proper pricing and preparation remain key. Well-positioned homes continue to attract strong interest and successful outcomes.

As we head toward the spring market, activity is expected to increase, bringing new opportunities for both buyers and sellers across the region.
