Q1 2026 · Montgomery County Market Update
By Andrew Himes · The Andrew Himes Group · Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach
National headlines make it sound like the whole real estate market has cooled off. That's true in plenty of metro markets across the country — but it's not the story here. Right here in Montgomery County, the market still favors sellers as we move through the first quarter of 2026.
By the numbers
Here's what we're seeing across the county as buyers keep competing for a limited number of homes:
That tight inventory means less competition for sellers and keeps demand strong — especially for homes that are priced right and show well.
Hyper-local spotlight
Zoom in on Perkiomen Woods and the demand is even sharper than the county at large. Over the last 12 months, 21 homes sold here — and they moved fast, often for more than the asking price.

How to win in this market
The market hasn't disappeared — buyers are just more selective. Homes that are priced correctly and positioned well still sell quickly, often with multiple offers. Homes that are overpriced or don't show well for their price point sit longer, sometimes a lot longer. That's why proper positioning matters more than ever.
Get the home market-ready before it ever hits the MLS so it sells fast.
A strategic price creates urgency and attracts multiple offers.
Stand out online and in person to maximize the home's value.
Get those three right and you put yourself in the best possible position to win in this ever-changing market.
