Will Home Prices Drop in 2026?

If you’re wondering “Will home prices drop in 2026?”, the data suggests that significant price declines are unlikely, especially in strong suburban markets like the Philly suburbs.

Home values in Chester County communities such as Exton, Malvern, Downingtown, and West Chester are supported by:
• Extremely low inventory
• High buyer demand
• Strong school districts
• Limited new construction
• Stable employment trends
• High homeowner equity

Top Realtor Bela Vora, who has lived in Chester County for 28 years and ranks in the top 1% of Realtors, explains that even when national markets cool, local prices often stay stable due to strong fundamentals.

A slight slowdown in appreciation? Maybe.
A crash or major price drop? Very unlikely.
