Weekly Luxury Market Update: Bucks, Montgomery & Philadelphia Counties

Date Range: July 28 – August 3, 2025
Data reflects single-family homes priced at $1M+
As the summer market continues, we’re seeing some telling shifts across the tri-county region. Here's what’s happening in the luxury segment ($1M+) across BucksMontgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
 

 

Bucks County Market Highlights

  • Sales: 26 (⬆ 24% WoW)
  • Median Sold Price: $1,430,000 (⬆ 8%)
  • New Contracts: 18 (⬆ 29%) | Median: $1,300,000 (⬇ 33%)
  • New Listings: 20 (⬇ 17%) | Median: $1,445,000 (⬆ 14%)
  • In-Contract DOM: 32 Days
  • Sold DOM: 74 Days
Takeaway:
Bucks County is holding steady with rising demand and a tightening supply in the luxury sector. While new listings are down, buyer activity is picking up — reflected in the jump in contracts and sales. The lower contract median may signal buyers looking for value plays, even as list prices rise.
 

 

Montgomery County Market Highlights

  • Sales: 250 (⬆ 61% WoW)
  • Median Sold Price: $520,000 (⬆ 2%)
  • New Contracts: 151 (⬇ 26%) | Median: $467,500 (⬆ 4%)
  • New Listings: 233 (⬇ 25%) | Median: $600,000 (⬆ 14%)
  • In-Contract DOM: 20 Days
  • Sold DOM: 22 Days
Luxury Segment ($1M+):
  • New Listings: 19 (⬇ 14%)
  • Signed Contracts: 15
  • Sales: 28 (⬆ 87%)
Takeaway:
Montgomery’s luxury market saw a major boost in closed deals, up 87% week-over-week. With a sharp drop in new contracts and listings, inventory could tighten further if this trend continues. Demand for $1M+ homes appears strong, even as broader contract activity slows.
 

 

Philadelphia Market Highlights

  • Sales: 9 (⬆ 29% WoW)
  • Median Sold Price: $1,550,000 (⬆ 12%)
  • New Contracts: 5 (⬇ 44%) | Median: $1,949,000 (⬆ 51%)
  • New Listings: 12 (⬇ 8%) | Median: $1,420,000 (⬇ 19%)
  • In-Contract DOM: 125 Days
  • Sold DOM: 48 Days
Takeaway:
Philadelphia’s luxury market is moving, but sluggishly. Sales and prices are up, but homes are sitting much longer before going under contract — over 4 months on average. The high median contract price suggests buyers are targeting premium-tier properties, while the drop in new listings could lead to more competition in coming weeks.
 

 

Market Insights Across the Board

  • Bucks is showing strong, steady demand with moderate price growth and reduced inventory.
  • Montgomery is seeing a luxury sales surge, but fewer contracts may hint at upcoming slowdowns.
  • Philadelphia is a mixed bag — high-end homes are selling, but the extended days on market and drop in contracts could signal shifting buyer confidence or pricing challenges.

 


 

📬 Looking Ahead

As we head deeper into Q3, sellers should be aware of market-specific trends:
  • Price competitively and lead with strong presentation.
  • Buyers have leverage in certain areas (especially Philly), while others (like Montgomery) may heat up quickly.
  • If you're considering listing or buying in the luxury market, now is the time to align your strategy with real-time data.
