Delaware County, PA Real Estate: Your Complete Local Guide

Welcome to owndelco.com, the hyperlocal guide to Delaware County, PA real estate built by someone who actually lives here. Delaware County is home to nearly 580,000 residents across 49 municipalities, spanning from Radnor Township's Main Line luxury estates to the affordable rowhomes of Chester and Colwyn, and everything in between. Whatever your budget, lifestyle, or timeline, there is a Delaware County community that fits.

I'm Ben Hill, a Springfield resident, Springfield Athletic Association youth sports coach, Managing Director of The Food Pantry at Ridley Park United Methodist Church, and a licensed real estate agent in both Pennsylvania and Delaware. Before earning my real estate license, I spent 20 years as a mortgage executive, including serving as Chief Information Officer at Finance of America Companies. I built owndelco.com because Delaware County deserves a real estate resource as local and specific as the communities it covers, not a national aggregator with no connection to this place.

Why Buy or Sell in Delaware County, PA?

  • 49 municipalities: From luxury Main Line estates in Radnor and Villanova to first-time buyer markets in the borough communities, the broadest range of price points and community characters of any county in the Philadelphia region
  • School districts: 15 school districts ranging from perennial Pennsylvania top performers (Radnor, Wallingford-Swarthmore, Springfield) to districts working through real economic challenges, school district selection is the single most important factor in most Delaware County buying decisions
  • Home values: The widest spread in the Philadelphia suburbs, from rowhomes and twins in the eastern boroughs and along the river to multi-million dollar estates in Villanova and Radnor Township. Most of the market is single-family homes and twins in the middle, in towns like Springfield, Havertown, Ridley, and Aston. Every town in the list below has its own market report with current listings and recent sales.
  • Commute options: SEPTA Regional Rail (Media/Elwyn, Paoli/Thorndale, and Airport lines), SEPTA trolley routes, I-476 (Blue Route), I-95, Route 1, and Route 30 all serve the county, making Delaware County one of the most commuter-connected suburban counties in the Philadelphia region
  • Philadelphia proximity: The county's eastern edge is less than 5 miles from Center City Philadelphia, buyers can find genuinely affordable housing with a 20-minute transit commute to the city
  • Mortgage expertise: As a former mortgage executive, I bring financial depth to every transaction that most agents simply can't offer, helping buyers navigate complex financing scenarios and sellers understand the true market value of their homes

Want the current numbers? My Delaware County housing market update covers prices, mortgage rates, days on market, and where things are headed, and I refresh it every quarter. For a single town, use the Market Report link next to it below, which pulls current listings and recent sales straight from BrightMLS.
