Philly-Area Housing Market Update: October 22, 2025
Market Snapshot
As October continues, the Philadelphia metro housing market remains active and competitive — though trends show subtle shifts in both buyer urgency and available inventory.

What This Means Going Into November
While inventory has grown in nearly every county, the region continues to show healthy absorption rates. Demand remains solid, especially for turnkey homes under the $600K range. Mortgage rates continue to influence buyer behavior, but the combination of seasonal inventory growth and stable pricing makes this a strong window for both buyers and sellers to act strategically.
For Buyers
More listings mean more leverage — but well-priced homes are still moving fast. Now’s the time to get pre-approved and stay ready to act when the right property appears.
For Sellers
Even as inventory rises, demand for quality homes remains high. Partnering with a local expert can help you price competitively and stand out this fall.
Bottom Line
The Philadelphia metro market remains active, steady, and opportunity-rich. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or investor, fall continues to present strong potential for smart, data-driven moves.
