Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
In Allentown’s 1st Ward, the latest rolling three-month view through May 2026 shows notable month-over-month movement, with the typical home value rising about 6 percent while the median list price jumped more than 29 percent. At the same time, homes sold dipped by roughly a quarter and pending sales fell 20 percent, suggesting demand may be cooling slightly even as sellers reach for higher asking prices.
Inventory and supply tell a more complex story. Active listings held steady compared with the prior period, yet months of supply climbed sharply to 2.7, pointing to more options relative to recent buyer activity. New listings increased more than 14 percent month over month and have more than doubled versus a year ago, giving buyers a wider range of choices.
Looking year over year, sales volume and seller activity are both much higher, with homes sold and new listings each roughly doubling compared with the same rolling period last year. Despite the typical home value being down about 15 percent year over year, sellers are still seeing strong results, with about two-thirds of homes selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio above 104 percent. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, yet 1st Ward remains more of a seller’s market than Allentown overall, which sits at 1.4 months of supply. Buyers and sellers can both benefit from local expertise, and Agent Pronto can connect them with a 1st Ward agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

Allentown 1st Ward offers residents a vibrant, walkable community with historic charm, welcoming gathering places, and convenient access to parks and local amenities.
1st Ward tends to attract buyers who want walkable city living with quick access to downtown Allentown and the riverfront. Residents who thrive here value its mix of long‑time homeowners, newer investors, and commuters who like being close to Center City, the Waterfront project, and major employers.
Housing in 1st Ward ranges from older row homes and twins that appeal to first‑time buyers to multifamily properties that can work for house hacking or small‑scale investment. Proximity to the Jordan Creek Greenway and Jordan Park adds outdoor options without leaving the neighborhood. Families often look at nearby schools within the Allentown School District and appreciate having the Allentown Public Library and cultural spots like the Allentown Art Museum a short drive away.

“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,”

“Zack did an outstanding job marketing our home! His research and professional advice regarding pricing, and the extra measures he took in showcasing the house and property, made a tremendous impact in the sale of our home. He's also a real pleasure to work with. Thank you, Zack!”

“1000/1000 he is great and comfortable”
Iron Valley Berks
“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.”
