September 2025 Market Recap

by Gary Mercer Team

The September 2025 real estate market across Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania remained strong overall, though early signs of stabilization are emerging after several years of rapid appreciation.

Chester County continued to lead the region with a median home price around $560,000–$625,000, up about 4% year-over-year, and homes selling quickly—often in a week or less and frequently above asking.

Montgomery County saw more moderate gains, with prices averaging around $480,000–$490,000, reflecting 2–3% annual growth and a tight 1.3-month supply that still favors sellers but with less intensity than in Chester.

Delaware County, the most affordable of the three, hovered in the mid-$300,000s and continued to attract strong demand from buyers seeking value close to Philadelphia.

Despite slight increases in inventory, all three counties remained undersupplied, keeping competition high and prices firm. With mortgage rates easing to the mid-6% range, buyer activity began to pick up again as fall approached, suggesting the market is shifting from red-hot to steady—still competitive, but moving toward a more balanced and sustainable pace heading into late 2025.
