Philly-Area Housing Market Update: October 29, 2025

A Cooler Pace, But Still an Active Fall Market

As October wraps up, the Philadelphia-area housing market continues to move steadily — with homes still selling at a healthy pace and inventory holding strong across every county. Buyers are gaining more breathing room, but sellers remain in a solid position thanks to consistent demand and stable pricing.

This week’s data from Bright MLS shows inventory levels staying steady, with most homes taking between 24 and 34 days to sell depending on the county.

Philadelphia County

1,165 homes sold
52 median days on market
2,065 new listings
5,531 active listings

Philadelphia remains the most active market in the region, with more than 1,100 homes sold this week. The 52-day median market time suggests that while homes are still moving, buyers are taking more time to decide — likely due to the increase in available inventory. Despite that, competitively priced listings in neighborhoods like Fishtown, Brewerytown, and South Philly continue to attract steady interest.

Montgomery County

24 median days on market
1,008 new listings

Montgomery County continues to stand out for its balance of activity and speed. Homes are spending just 24 days on the market, one of the lowest in the region. With over 1,000 new listings, the area remains a top choice for buyers looking for move-in ready homes near Conshohocken, Blue Bell, and Ambler.

Bucks County

30 median days on market
617 new listings
1,112 active listings

Camden County holds steady this week, with moderate activity and stable inventory. Suburbs like Haddon Township and Cherry Hill continue to see consistent movement thanks to strong school districts and accessibility to Philadelphia.

Burlington County

33 median days on market

What It Means Heading Into November

As fall transitions into the holiday season, the market continues to balance out. Sellers are seeing slightly longer listing periods, while buyers enjoy more choice and negotiation room. Despite the seasonal slowdown, overall activity remains strong — indicating a healthy, sustainable market heading into year’s end.
