Warminster, PA – The Bucks County Association of REALTORS® (BCAR) reports that the local housing market in August brought encouraging news for both buyers and sellers.

Home values remain strong, with the median sold price for residential properties rising to $530,000. That’s a 2.9 percent increase from July and 4.2 percent higher than this time last year—welcome news for homeowners looking to sell.

At the same time, buyers are finding a little more breathing room. Homes stayed on the market an average of 21 days in August, a touch longer than usual for this time of year. This slight shift means buyers have more time to view properties, weigh their options, and make informed offers without feeling as rushed.

Market activity eased slightly compared to midsummer, with fewer new contracts signed and a small dip in the number of available homes. This leveling off has created a more balanced market. Sellers continue to benefit from rising prices, while buyers gain opportunities to negotiate and find the right fit.

“Bucks County remains one of the most desirable places to live, and our August numbers highlight a healthy balance between buyer opportunity and seller success,” said Frank Blumenthal, 2025 President of the Bucks County Association of REALTORS®. “While sellers are seeing solid returns, buyers now have a chance to take a little more time and make thoughtful decisions. This balance is a win for everyone in our community.”

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or considering selling, Bucks County’s housing market continues to offer strong opportunities.
