Delaware County, Pennsylvania

Delaware County's market is competitive but more affordable than its Main Line neighbors to the north. In the week ending September 30, 2026, homes spent a median of 28 days on the market, 538 homes sold, and 558 new listings came on, while current listings stood at 1,252, per Bright MLS data compiled by Rarity Real Estate. Redfin's countywide median sale price came to about $393,700 in August 2026, up about 3.6% from a year earlier, and Zillow's typical home value, updated July 31, 2026, was about $369,800, up 2.7%.

Supply remains tight in the most popular towns. Well-priced homes in Haverford, Newtown Square, and Media still attract multiple offers, while Swarthmore and college-town properties hold their value. First-timers and value buyers continue to find good options in Drexel Hill, Broomall, Springfield, and Ridley Park.

With SEPTA regional rail, trolley, and bus service, plus easy access to I-95 and the Blue Route, Delaware County offers convenient commutes to Philadelphia, Wilmington, and the Philadelphia International Airport.
