Information and statistics on the latest trends in the South Side real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
South Side is seeing a tight flow of homes, with just 22 properties on the market in March 2026. New listings reached 65 for the month, closely matched by 67 pending sales, showing that homes move quickly once listed. Buyers are also facing a median of only 18 days on market, even after a 38.46% increase from the prior month.
Pricing has been rising in response to this brisk activity. The typical home value in South Side is about $278,000, up 11.42% from a year ago and 2.96% over the past month, and higher than Allentown overall at $255,000. Sellers are often achieving close to asking price, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99 and about 43% of homes selling above list.
Looking ahead to April 2026, projected values suggest this seller’s market should continue, with a forecast typical home value of $282,000 and a projected median list price of $290,350. Inventory may tick up slightly to 23 homes, but that would still be well below last year, when inventory was more than 42% higher. While new listings are down 10.96% year over year and pending sales are holding steady, both buyers and sellers in South Side can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
South Side offers residents a vibrant, walkable blend of historic charm, diverse dining and nightlife, creative spaces, parks, and a strong, neighborly community.
South Side in Allentown stands apart from other nearby neighborhoods with its strong sense of local identity and walkable access to culture, campuses, and everyday conveniences.

Parks such as South Mountain Reservoir Park and Keck Park give residents room for recreation, while downtown Allentown is only a short drive or bus ride away for dining, entertainment, and events.
You will find a mix of older row homes, twin homes, and small multiunit properties, which appeals to first‑time buyers, investors, and long‑time homeowners. Local schools, including Allentown School District, and resources such as the Allentown Public Library, support day‑to‑day life and make South Side a practical choice for many households.
With interest in walkable, well‑connected neighborhoods growing in nearby areas like West End and Midway Manor, timing and preparation matter in South Side.

“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”
“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.”
