West Chester Borough Market Update – March 2026
If there’s one thing we know about the West Chester Borough housing market, it’s this: prices can swing—fast.
In March, the average home sale price dropped to $415,000, marking the lowest monthly average we’ve seen in years. But before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to look at the full picture.
There were only 4 homes sold in the borough last month—and 3 of those sold for under $400,000, which is pretty uncommon for this area. With such a small sample size, even a few lower-priced sales can significantly pull the average down.
And just to show how dramatic these swings can be—last July, the average sale price topped $950,000. Same market, very different snapshot.
A Slower Start to the Year
So far, 2026 has been off to a slower start in terms of sales activity.
14 homes sold year-to-date
Compared to 23 homes sold by this time in 2025
That said, there are clear signs that things are starting to pick back up.
Inventory Is Rebounding
March brought a welcome boost in new listings:
14 homes hit the market
12 homes were available at the end of the month
That puts us right in line with March of last year, which is a great sign for a more balanced spring market.
Last year, inventory steadily climbed through the summer, peaking at 19 listings in August—and we’re likely heading in a similar direction again.
