According to late 2023 data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), suburban Philadelphia counties have some of the most expensive home prices in Pennsylvania and the nation. NAR uses the Census Bureau's American Community Survey of median housing prices for 3,112 counties and county equivalents across the U.S. Home values reflect the overall worth of all homes in a given area, rather than solely home sales data. Data show the median home price in Chester, Bucks, Delaware and Montgomery counties was more than double the state’s median home value of $191,550. Chester County’s $475,230 median price makes it the 149th highest-priced county in the country and the most expensive housing market in Pennsylvania, with Bucks County ranking second with a $447,000 median price and Montgomery County ranking third with a median home value of $431,940. Delaware County ranked fifth with a median home price of $330,620.
