Should You Buy or Wait? What the Spring Market Means for Buyers and Sellers

If you're considering buying or selling a home around Philadelphia or the Main Line, you might be asking: Is now the right time, or should I wait?

Spring consistently brings renewed energy to the housing market. With warmer weather and longer days, more homes are hitting the market across the region—from classic townhomes in Philadelphia’s Queen Village to beautiful properties in Bryn Mawr, Ardmore, and other Main Line communities. Buyers have more options, and sellers are seeing increased activity and interest.

So, is this the season to make a move? The answer depends on what feels right for your situation.

For buyers, the recent increase in inventory means more homes to choose from and a bit more flexibility in the search process. While mortgage rates remain higher than they’ve been in the past, it's important to focus on long-term value. Finding the right home that fits your lifestyle and future plans can be more impactful than waiting for the perfect rate. And remember, refinancing is always an option down the line.

If you're ready to explore available properties, check out our home search tool to browse listings in Philadelphia and the Main Line.

For sellers, spring is a prime opportunity. Active buyers this time of year are motivated, and with more homes coming to market, standing out matters. A well-priced home with thoughtful presentation—great curb appeal, fresh staging, and professional photos—can make all the difference.

Curious about your home's value? Use our home valuation tool to get an estimate and see how your property compares in today's market.

The housing market is always changing, but what doesn’t change is the importance of making a move that works for you. Whether you're looking for a walkable lifestyle in Center City or a quiet retreat on the Main Line, this season offers possibilities worth exploring.
