What Do This Week’s Philly-Area Housing Numbers Actually Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

What Do This Week’s Philly-Area Housing Numbers Actually Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

This Week’s Philadelphia & Surrounding Market Snapshot

Here’s how the Philadelphia-area housing market is shaping up as of February 4, 2026, based on the most recent data across Bucks County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia County, and surrounding areas. Homes are still moving, but buyers are taking a little more time before making decisions. Inventory has shifted week over week, creating a more balanced dynamic in some submarkets while others remain competitive. The takeaway: strategy matters more than speed right now.

All data below is based on the most recent local MLS data covering Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.

  • Units Sold: 324

  • Units Listed: 432

Bucks County continues to show steady activity, with homes spending just over a month on the market. Inventory remains tight enough to support sellers, but buyers have slightly more leverage than earlier in the year.

Delaware County, PA

  • Units Sold: 288

  • Units Listed: 443

  • Units Sold: 445

  • Units Listed: 568

Montgomery County remains one of the most active markets in the region. Inventory levels are higher than neighboring counties, giving buyers more options while still rewarding sellers who price correctly.

Philadelphia County, PA

  • Days on Market: 55 days

  • Units Sold: 815

  • Units Listed: 1,605

Philadelphia continues to be a tale of many micro-markets. While overall days on market are longer, well-located and properly priced homes are still selling. Neighborhood-specific trends matter more than ever right now.

Butler County, PA

  • Units Sold: 308

  • Units Listed: 493

  • Current Inventory: 853

Butler County shows a balanced pace, with inventory supporting steady sales activity. Buyers have room to negotiate, but strong homes are still commanding attention.

Camden County, NJ

  • Days on Market: 40 days

  • Units Sold: 307

  • Units Listed: 549

  • Current Inventory: 910

Camden County remains active, though listings are stacking up faster than closings. Buyers have more choice, making presentation and pricing key factors for sellers.

Gloucester County, NJ

  • Days on Market: 42 days

  • Units Sold: 186

  • Units Listed: 278

  • Current Inventory: 495

Gloucester County is holding steady, with balanced inventory and consistent buyer demand. Homes that are move-in ready continue to outperform the market average.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, this is a market where patience pays off. More inventory in several counties means more negotiating power and less pressure to rush.

For sellers, strategy is everything. Homes that are priced right and well-presented are still moving, while overpriced listings are sitting longer and facing price adjustments.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, understanding your specific neighborhood trends is far more important than relying on regional headlines.
