Is the Housing Market Slowing or Just Stabilizing? Here’s What This Week Shows

Is the Housing Market Slowing or Just Stabilizing? Here’s What This Week Shows

Weekly Philadelphia Region Market Update

January 21, 2026

As we move further into January, the housing market across the Philadelphia region remains active, though homes are taking a bit longer to sell in several counties. Inventory levels are still relatively tight, keeping pricing steady and buyers engaged — especially for well-presented, well-priced homes.

Here’s a breakdown of what we’re seeing across the region this week.

Philadelphia County, PA

  • Average Days on Market: 49 days

  • Homes Sold: 1,109

  • New Listings: 1,136

  • Current Inventory: 4,550 homes

Philadelphia continues to show steady activity, though homes are spending more time on the market compared to late 2025. Inventory remains elevated relative to surrounding counties, giving buyers more choice while still supporting overall market stability.

Montgomery County, PA

  • Average Days on Market: 30 days

  • Homes Sold: 753

  • New Listings: 439

  • Current Inventory: 1,077 homes

Montgomery County remains one of the faster-moving markets in the region. Homes are still selling in about a month on average, and inventory levels suggest continued competition for desirable listings.

Bucks County, PA

  • Average Days on Market: 34 days

  • Homes Sold: 571

  • New Listings: 294

  • Current Inventory: 746 homes

Bucks County continues to show balance. Homes are taking just over a month to sell, while inventory remains limited enough to keep sellers well-positioned when pricing is strategic.

Delaware County, PA

  • Average Days on Market: 29 days

  • Homes Sold: 466

  • New Listings: 282

  • Current Inventory: 822 homes

Delaware County remains consistent, with homes moving in under 30 days on average. Buyer demand remains steady, and inventory levels are keeping the market competitive without feeling rushed.

Camden County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 37 days

  • Homes Sold: 464

  • New Listings: 353

  • Current Inventory: 953 homes

Camden County continues to see healthy activity. While days on market have increased slightly, inventory remains controlled, helping sellers maintain leverage when homes are priced correctly.

Burlington County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 38 days

  • Homes Sold: 477

  • New Listings: 309

  • Current Inventory: 824 homes

Burlington County is holding steady. Homes are spending just over a month on the market, offering buyers opportunities while still supporting consistent sales activity.

Gloucester County, NJ

  • Average Days on Market: 41 days

  • Homes Sold: 295

  • New Listings: 212

  • Current Inventory: 544 homes

Gloucester County remains slightly slower paced, though inventory is still tight. Buyers may find more breathing room here compared to other parts of the region.

Bottom Line

As January continues, the market across the Philadelphia region remains active and stable. While homes are generally taking longer to sell than they did late last year, inventory levels are keeping supply in check — helping prices hold and opportunities remain for both buyers and sellers.
