Swarthmore Home Values: One of Delaware County's Most Distinctive Boroughs

Condo, Single Family Residential, Townhome search in the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and other counties

Report prepared by owndelco.com Premier Property Sales and Rentals

+14844420295

Swarthmore is unlike any other borough in Delaware County. The college, the train station on the Media/Wawa Line, the walkable downtown, and Wallingford-Swarthmore schools keep demand steady, and with so few listings, every recent sale matters. The numbers below are current listings and recent sales from BrightMLS, the same data I use when I build a CMA.

I'm Ben Hill. I spent 20 years on the mortgage side before I started selling homes, so I read the financing behind every offer, not just the price at the top. Get your free Swarthmore home valuation » or talk to me directly »
