What the Numbers Mean
A statewide median hides a lot of local variation. Here is how to read these figures in the context of Greater Philadelphia.
Statewide medians hide county differences
The Pennsylvania median of $275,000 blends fast-moving, lower-cost markets with premium suburban districts. County-level medians across Greater Philadelphia range from $292,000 in Berks and Philadelphia to $630,000 in Chester, so the state number is a starting point, not a price target.
Chester is the priciest of the six counties
At a $630,000 median sold price, Chester County leads Greater Philadelphia, ahead of Bucks County at $496,000 and Montgomery County at $450,000. Premium school districts and Main Line-adjacent towns drive that spread.
Berks and Philadelphia are the most affordable
Both counties sit at a $292,000 median sold price, but for different reasons. Berks is a lower-cost suburban and rural market, while Philadelphia County's median blends rowhomes, condos, and a wide range of neighborhoods into one citywide figure.
City neighborhoods vary widely
A citywide median hides big gaps between neighborhoods. Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square, and other Center City pockets price well above the Philadelphia County median, while Fishtown, Manayunk, and other neighborhoods offer more attainable entry points. Compare at the neighborhood level before you set a budget.
