Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Year over year in Penrose, typical home values in this rolling three-month window are down sharply, with prices falling more than 30 percent even as the broader Philadelphia market posts gains. At the same time, homes sold have more than doubled compared with a year ago, signaling that lower prices may be drawing more buyers into the neighborhood.
Inventory has expanded, with active listings up roughly 40 percent from last year and new listings rising as well, yet months of supply is still relatively low at about 2.2 months. Even with more options on the market, the share of homes selling above list price has dropped by about half, and the average sale-to-list ratio has slid, suggesting sellers are negotiating more than they did a year ago.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in August 2026, the typical home value sits around $185,000 and the median list price is slightly lower, hinting that sellers are pricing with recent declines in mind. Homes are taking a median of 46 days to sell, and roughly half of listings still go off the market within two weeks, which points to strong interest in well-priced properties. Whether you are a buyer trying to spot value or a seller working to maximize your sale, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Penrose agent who understands these trends.
