Bucks County housing market recorded an active year, with home values climbing steadily and demand staying strong throughout the season, writes Lacey Latch for the Bucks County Courier Times.
In October, the median home sale price reached $510,000, an 8.5 percent year-over-year jump. Homes averaged 30 days on the market, a modest slowdown compared to previous years but still a sign of steady interest from buyers.
Active listings slipped by about 8 percent, while pending contracts rose slightly, creating “a market that slightly favors sellers but continues to provide opportunities for motivated buyers,” according to the Bucks County Association of Realtors.
However, with prices climbing rapidly, homeownership in Bucks County is slipping further out of reach for many buyers.
“Sellers’ homes have never been worth more money than they are worth right now,” said President Frank Blumenthal of the Bucks County Association of Realtors. “But on the other side of the coin, attainable housing and workforce housing we don’t have enough of.”
Blumenthal expects minimal changes in 2026, with both inventory and sales rising modestly.
