West Chester Borough Real Estate Market Recap – February 2026
After a very quiet start to the year, West Chester Borough finally showed a little life in February.
We had 12 new listings hit the market. Six homes went under contract, and six homes closed. Not a blockbuster month — but definitely more movement than January.
What’s interesting? Most of what sold wasn’t new inventory.
Four of the six homes that closed were listed back in December. One had been sitting since September. Only one was a fresh January listing. Buyers are still being selective and patient.
Sale Prices & Market Behavior
Of the six homes that sold:
• Four sold under asking price by an average of $30,750
• Those homes averaged about 45 days on market
• One home sold in just 2 days and went $75,000 over asking
The takeaway? When the right house hits at the right price, buyers still move quickly.
The average sale price for February was $549,166. That’s slightly up from January’s $542,500, but still on the lower end compared to where we’ve been over the past year. In fact, we haven’t seen an average this low since March 2025.
What to Expect in March
March will likely look similar in terms of closings. We simply haven’t had the inventory to support a big jump in sales. If I had to predict, we’ll land around six sales again.
The real question is whether spring sellers are ready to make their move. If more homes hit the market, we could finally see some real momentum build.
Spring is here — now we wait and see who’s ready to list. If you are ready to buy or sell in the borough or elsewhere, fill out the form below to get started!
