What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

The final week of September brought more consistency than major movement across the region. Days on market were unchanged in six of the seven counties, while sales either increased slightly or remained steady everywhere.

The bigger difference continues to be inventory. Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties all added available homes this week, while Bucks, Burlington and Camden saw inventory decline. That means buyers’ options can look very different depending on where they’re searching.

The broader trend also points toward a more measured fall market. Bright MLS’s September Home Demand Index for the Philadelphia metro registered 77, down from 82 the previous month, indicating softer demand heading into fall. Bright MLS | T3 Home Demand Index

For buyers, additional inventory in several markets may provide more options and negotiating room. For sellers, homes are still moving consistently, but pricing and presentation remain important as buyers become more selective.
