Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
July’s rolling three-month view for 1st Ward shows a slight month-over-month dip in both prices and pace, with the typical home value edging down just a bit and median list prices also easing. Homes are now taking longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to 59, up sharply from the prior month’s quicker pace. At the same time, months of supply tightened modestly to 4, suggesting inventory is not expanding despite slower sales.
Looking back over the past year gives that slowdown more context. The typical home value in 1st Ward is up more than 20 percent year over year, and median list prices have climbed by a similar margin. Sales activity has accelerated, with homes sold more than doubling and pending sales up dramatically compared with a year ago.
Momentum in the neighborhood contrasts with broader Allentown, where the citywide median sale price is higher but growing more slowly, and months of supply sits at a lean 1.7. In 1st Ward, active listings have risen nearly 60 percent year over year, while the share of homes selling above list price has pulled back to roughly one in four, pointing to slightly more negotiating room for buyers. The average sale-to-list ratio holding near 97 percent shows sellers are still achieving prices close to asking even as days on market stretch. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert agent who fits their needs.

“If you are looking for a real estate agent who combines professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for her clients, I highly recommend Dwana Woodley. From the beginning of the home-buying process, Dwana demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, ensuring every step was handled thoroughly and accurately. She remained proactive in identifying potential concerns, explaining options clearly, and keeping everything moving forward efficiently. Her negotiation skills played a critical role in putting me in the best position possible to purchase a home. Dwana consistently advocated on my behalf, balancing strategy with transparency while navigating discussions with the seller’s agent and coordinating closely with the loan servicer. Her ability to keep all parties aligned helped avoid delays and ensured progress throughout the process. What stood out most was her constant communication. I was never left wondering about the status of my purchase because Dwana provided timely updates,”

“This was a challenging home to market & sell (high HOA fees in a 55 community) but Darryl's (Darryl Shands) persistence and willingness to invest his time and go the extra mile got us through. When our first Buyer's financing fell through, we met and strategized what next stpes would be. The seasons had changed and the home had now been vanat for 2 months. We spent a weekend freshening up the exterior of the home and improving its curb appeal and Darryl re-launched our listing with a new Open House and a very small price reduction. He secured multiple new offers and got us back under agreement in a week. His advice on pricing and negotiations was vital in our eventual deal and we walked away from closing very satisfied. We are very thankful for his partnership.”
