Bucks County Housing Market Eases Into Holidays On Solid Growth

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The local housing market followed its traditional seasonal pattern in November, slowing slightly as families turned their attention to the holidays, reports the Bucks County Association of Realtors (BCAR).

But even with this predictable pause, the BCAR says the county continues to show solid year-over-year growth, positioning the market for a strong start to 2026.

This November, both new listings and buyer activity dipped from October — something that happens almost every year as fewer sellers list their homes and many buyers temporarily step back from their search.

New listings fell to 378, and pending sales reached 455 for the month.

While these numbers are softer than October, they remain ahead of where the market stood at this time last year, demonstrating that demand is still healthy even in a quieter season, according to BCAR.

Closed sales also tapered, moving from 550 in October to 462 in November. This slight decline mirrors typical end-of-year trends but does not change the broader picture: more homes have closed in 2025 than in 2024, and overall activity continues to trend upward.

Home prices also adjusted seasonally. The median sold price in November was $475,000, down from October but consistent with the usual late-year softening. Importantly, prices for 2025 as a whole remain higher than in 2024, underscoring the continued appeal and strength of the Bucks County market.

Inventory conditions improved modestly, with 711 homes actively listed in November. Homes are still selling efficiently, spending about 26 days on the market on average, and sellers continue to receive nearly their full asking price.

BCAR President Frank Blumenthal emphasized that these November shifts are a normal part of the seasonal rhythm.

“Every year we see the market take a breath as the holidays approach, and this year is no different,” Blumenthal said. “What matters most is the momentum we carry into the new year — and Bucks County continues to show steady, reliable growth. Our community remains one of the most desirable places to buy and sell a home.”

With the arrival of the new year, activity typically begins to rise again as buyers and sellers return to the market after the holidays. While every year brings its own dynamics, the steady pace seen throughout 2025 suggests that Bucks County is entering the new year on solid footing, says the BCAR.
