Each year, the Chester County Planning Commission collects and reports data on housing prices, housing affordability, and new units constructed across Chester County as part of the ongoing implementation of Landscapes3, the county’s comprehensive plan.
The 2019 residential housing data, which was presented at the Planning Commission’s Board Meeting on August 11, was largely consistent with the data from 2018, however there were a few key differences to acknowledge.
In 2019, the median sale price for homes in Chester County was $355,000 – a 4.4% increase from 2018 which was $340,000. However for “new homes” sold, the median was nearly $100,000 higher.
Are you sure you mean Phoenixville borough for 4th largest home sales? Or do you mean the zip code 19460, which is the greater Phoenixville area? That seems very high for a borough compared to other much larger and densely populated townships like West Goshen.
The municipality sales numbers are derived from Chester County Assessment data, which provides the municipal code for each sale. According to this data, Phoenixville Borough had the 4th highest number of sales in Chester County, with 273 sales in 2019. If you have any further question you can email ehorwitz@chesco.org.
