π‘π Chester Countyβs housing market is heating up fast!
New data shows home sales, listings, and prices all surged in April, with the county continuing to outperform national housing trends. Buyers snapped up much of the new inventory as soon as it hit the market, keeping competition intense across the region. π₯
π Key April highlights:
β
730 new listings (+25.4% from March)
β
454 homes sold (+24.4% month-over-month)
β
Median home price reached $560,000
β
Homes sold for an average of 101.2% of asking price
β
Average time on market dropped to just 26 days
While inventory has improved compared to recent years, Chester County remains firmly in sellerβs market territory. Many buyers continue facing bidding wars and above-asking-price offers as demand outpaces supply.
π For sellers, the market remains favorable heading into the summer season. For buyers, more homes are becoming available, but competition remains strong and acting quickly continues to matter.
The latest numbers suggest Chester County remains one of the most competitive housing markets in the Philadelphia region.
