Is the Main Line housing market still competitive?
It was in spring 2025. Tight inventory and steady demand kept prices rising, and homes in Ardmore, Bryn Mawr and Wayne often drew multiple offers and went under contract within days. From ReLLestate Episode 4: Suburban Sizzle & City Stacks, April 14, 2025
Which Philadelphia suburbs are most competitive for buyers?
In spring 2025 the Inquirer pointed to Havertown, Media and Springfield in Delaware County and Glenside, Ardmore and Cheltenham in Montgomery County, where low inventory led to multiple offers and sales above asking price.
