CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS
Seller’s Market Moving Towards Balanced: As of December 27, 2025, Wallingford–Swarthmore has 38 active listings with a $509,500 median price (average $600,548) and homes averaging 115 days on market. Inventory is still fairly tight at 1.4 months, but the combination of a 115-day average and 16 price reductions (42.1%) is a clear signal that buyers are choosy and the market is very pricing-sensitive right now. Practical takeaway: sellers who start too high are getting corrected by the market, while listings that are priced well and show well have the best chance to move without reductions; buyers should focus on stale and recently reduced homes where leverage is strongest.
