Bucks County's housing market remained a sellers' market in June, with prices above year-ago levels and more homes going under contract even as inventory tightened, the Bucks County Association of Realtors reported Saturday.

The association did not release specific dollar figures for the county's median sold price, days on market or number of closed sales. But the directional picture is clear: the median sold price dipped slightly from May yet stayed higher than June 2025, and homes took longer to sell than the typical June pace, according to the BCAR report.

That slightly longer selling timeline could matter for Doylestown and Buckingham buyers who need extra days to weigh options before making an offer.

Still, limited inventory and steady demand kept the advantage with sellers, the association said.

Regional and national context

Broader data fills in some of the numbers the BCAR report left out. In the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metro area, which includes Bucks County, the median list price in June was $389,900, up 0.6% from a year earlier, according to Realtor.com's monthly housing trends report. Active listings in the metro rose 13% year over year.

Nationally, the median existing home price hit a record $440,600 in June, up 1.8% from June 2025, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Mortgage rates offer modest relief

Borrowing costs have eased compared to a year ago. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.57% in June, according to NAR data. By the week ending Thursday, July 9, Freddie Mac pegged the rate at 6.49%, down from 6.72% during the same week in 2025.

The lower rates haven't dramatically improved affordability. The income needed to qualify for a mortgage on a median-priced U.S. single-family home ($446,400) was $109,152 in June, assuming a 20% down payment, according to NAR's housing affordability index.
