Bottom Line
As January wraps up, the Philadelphia-area housing market remains stable and active. These trends align with broader national housing patterns showing slower sales timelines and tight inventory, particularly in major metro areas. While homes are taking longer to sell across most counties, inventory levels are still tight enough to support pricing and steady demand.
