Each year, the Chester County Planning Commission analyzes assessment data on sales and construction to understand housing trends in the county. Among the key points and trends from the 2024 Housing Report are:

• Both raw and inflation-adjusted housing prices have been steadily rising in the county, up to $525,000 in 2024.
• The number of annual sales in 2023 and 2024 were significantly lower than annual sales from 2012-2022.
• Median sales price for new homes was $589,902 in 2024.
• The county has been undersupplied in new housing construction. From 2005 to 2014, a total of 19,645 new units were added, compared to 18,597 from 2015 to 2024.
• Median housing prices for apartments and attached homes have been consistently lower than single-family attached homes.
• New housing units have been largely centered around growth areas, especially the county's boroughs.
• The Coatesville region has provided much of the county's affordable housing, while Tredyffrin Township has had the most substantial range of housing prices.
