Delaware County, Pennsylvania

Delaware County's market is competitive but more affordable than its Main Line neighbors to the north. The most recent complete county breakdown from Long & Foster (Bright MLS data, September 2025) put the median sale price at $360,000, roughly 1% above a year earlier, with 466 closed sales, median days on market of 24, and active inventory near 805. Local market analysis published in spring 2026 shows the median sold price holding around $350,000, with supply at about 2.5 to 2.9 months, still below balance and conditions favoring sellers.

Rising inventory has given buyers more options in 2026, but 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.
