Churchville PA homes for sale are part of Northampton Township, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers understand what that means for price. Churchville is a village, not a municipality. It has a post office and a ZIP code and a nature center, but no borough line, no separate tax rate and no government of its own. The figures on this page cover Northampton Township, because that is the market a Churchville address actually trades in.
What the Churchville Numbers Mean
Northampton Township closed 148 sales in the last six months at a median of $735,000. That is a high median for Bucks County, and the reason is the housing stock rather than the location. One hundred twenty six of those 148 sales were detached single family homes, and those alone ran a median of $782,500. The median home that sold had 2,684 square feet above grade.
Speed is strong and steady. Fifty nine percent of sales went under contract within a week and the median was 5 days. Sixty two percent sold at or above the asking price, with an average of 100.8 percent of list. That last figure is the one to watch. It is the lowest of the Bucks County towns we updated this month, and it tells you that at this price point buyers are still negotiating. A seller here should not assume the bidding war that a $400,000 house three towns over would get.
The range is wide. A quarter of sales closed under $623,750 and a quarter closed over $978,125, with a top sale of $2,325,000. Anyone quoting you a single number for Northampton Township is describing a market that does not exist.
Where Is Churchville? Township, ZIP, and What It Actually Is
Churchville sits in Northampton Township in Bucks County, sharing the 18966 ZIP code with Holland. Northampton Township covers 25.68 square miles and about 39,915 people, which makes it one of the larger townships in the county. Neshaminy Creek forms its entire northeastern boundary.
This is the part that trips people up. Churchville is not a borough and never was. There is no Churchville tax rate, no Churchville council and no Churchville school. A home with a Churchville mailing address pays Northampton Township taxes and attends Council Rock schools, the same as a home with a Holland or Richboro address. When a listing says Churchville, it is telling you the post office, not the municipality.
What Is It Like to Live in Churchville, PA?
Suburban, wooded, and quieter than the numbers suggest. The Churchville Nature Center sits on 55 acres next to the Churchville Reservoir with hiking trails and an environmental education program. Tyler State Park and its 1,711 acres is a short drive, with trails, athletic fields, disc golf and canoe rentals on the Neshaminy.
The housing is mostly postwar and later detached homes on generous lots, with a handful of townhouse and condominium pockets. There is no downtown in the way Doylestown or Newtown has one. People who move here are buying space, trees and the school district, and they drive to Newtown or Richboro for dinner.
Neighborhoods in Churchville and Northampton Township
Churchville Manor and Willow Greene
The two neighborhoods that carry a Churchville address most often. Churchville Manor closed 6 sales at a median of $787,500 and Willow Greene closed 5 at $650,000. Both are detached. Every one of the 23 sales that carried a Churchville mailing address specifically was a detached home, which is why the Churchville postal median of $740,000 sits so close to the township detached median.
Northampton Crossing and Highspire
The top of the township. Northampton Crossing closed 6 at a median of $1,115,000 and Highspire closed 5 at $1,260,000. Both detached, both well above the township median. If your home is in either one, the $735,000 township figure is not your comparable and using it will cost you.
Village Shires and 100 Acre Woods
The attached side, and a completely different market. Village Shires closed 5 at $438,000 and 100 Acre Woods closed 4 at $470,000. Townhouses in Northampton Township closed a median of $463,500 for interior units and $607,500 for end units. That is roughly $300,000 below the detached median in the same township, on the same tax bill, in the same school district.
College Park, Deerfield North, and Reserve at Spring Mill
College Park closed 5 at $665,000 and Deerfield North closed 4 at $700,000, both detached and both close to the township middle. Reserve at Spring Mill closed 4 at $705,000 and is the Judd Builders townhouse community, which is why its number sits far above the other attached neighborhoods.
What Kinds of Homes Are for Sale in Churchville?
Detached homes dominate to a degree that is unusual even for a suburban township. One hundred twenty six of 148 sales, or 85 percent, were detached, at a median of $782,500. End of row townhouses closed 8 at $607,500 and interior townhouses closed 8 at $463,500. Condominiums and flats closed 5 at $350,000. One twin sold, at $565,000.
Twenty six of the 148 sales carried a homeowners association and seven were in age restricted communities. If you are shopping the attached product here, you are shopping a small pool. Sixteen townhouse sales in six months across a township of 39,915 people means the right one does not come up often.
New Construction in Churchville
Foxlane Homes is building Magnolia Grove on New Road in Churchville, inside Northampton Township. It is the first new single family community with a Churchville address in some time, and at this scale it will influence what buyers at the top of the township expect.
Only 3 of the 148 sales in the last six months were new construction, so this is overwhelmingly a resale market. That cuts both ways for a seller. There is almost no builder inventory competing with you, but there is also no builder setting a visible ceiling, so your price has to come from the resale comparables and nothing else. Details on the community, including what is offered and what it costs, are on our Magnolia Grove page and across our new construction section.
If you are considering a builder home, talk to us before your first model home visit. Builders require your agent to be present and registered on that first visit, and the sales office works for the builder, not for you.
Council Rock School District
Churchville, Holland and Richboro are all in the Council Rock School District, which also covers Newtown Township, Newtown Borough, Wrightstown Township and Upper Makefield. All 148 sales in this window were inside it.
The district sets the school portion of the property tax bill, and that is the largest line on the bill for nearly every homeowner here. Which specific school a given address attends is assigned by the district and can change, so confirm it with the district directly rather than relying on a listing.
What Buyers Should Know Right Now
There are 36 homes for sale and 28 under contract. The median asking price on what is listed is $959,950, which is $224,950 above the median of what actually closed. It means the inventory sitting on the market right now is heavily weighted toward the top of the range.
Practically, that tells a buyer two things. If your budget is near the township median, very little of what you see online is aimed at you, and what does appear will move in under a week. If your budget is above $900,000 you have genuine selection and genuine negotiating room, which the 100.8 percent sale to list ratio confirms.
What Sellers Should Know Right Now
Sixty two percent of sellers got asking price or better. That is a good market, but it is the softest of the four Bucks County towns in this group, and the reason is price point. Higher priced homes attract fewer buyers, each of whom is more deliberate, and 23 percent of listings took more than 30 days to go under contract.
The mistake to avoid here is pricing off the township median. If your home is in Northampton Crossing or Highspire, $735,000 is $400,000 below where you should be. If it is a townhouse in Village Shires, it is $300,000 above. Your comparable set is your neighborhood and your product type, and in a township this large those two things matter more than the town name on your mail.
