Quakertown PA homes for sale cover a wide range, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers find where they sit in it. Quakertown Borough is a 2.03 square mile town of about 9,359 people, completely surrounded by Richland Township. Milford Township sits to the west and carries a Quakertown address on a large share of its homes. The figures on this page cover all three, because that is how buyers search.
What the Quakertown Numbers Mean
One hundred eighty eight homes closed in six months at a median of $400,000. Seventy two percent sold at or above asking and the average closed at 101.2 percent of list. The median went under contract in 6 days.
That $400,000 median needs an asterisk, and it is a big one. Twenty six of the 188 sales were manufactured homes at a median of $115,000. That is 14 percent of the market. Take them out and the Quakertown median rises to $425,500, days to contract drops from 6 to 5, and sale to list climbs to 102.1 percent. Both numbers are real. Which one applies to you depends entirely on what you own.
The three municipalities also behave differently. Quakertown Borough closed 86 sales at $397,500 but took a median of 12 days with a 99.9 percent sale to list ratio, the only sub-asking average in this batch. Milford Township closed 47 at $440,000 in a median of 5 days at 104.4 percent, the hottest submarket in upper Bucks. Richland Township closed 36 at $325,000 in 5 days.
Where Is Quakertown? County, Township, and ZIP
Quakertown is in Bucks County, in the 18951 ZIP code, at the northern end of the county near the Lehigh Valley line. The area was called the Great Swamp and was settled by Quakers, taking the Quakertown name officially in 1801. It became a manufacturing town in the Civil War era on cigars, silk mills and foundries. The Liberty Bell stopped at the Red Lion Inn here in 1777 on its way out of Philadelphia.
Richland Township surrounds the borough on all sides, and Milford Township sits beyond it to the west. The 18951 ZIP reaches across all three. The address also spans more than one school district. One hundred seventy nine of the 188 sales were in Quakertown Community School District, but 5 were in Palisades and 4 in Pennridge. On a Quakertown address, the district is worth confirming rather than assuming.
What Is It Like to Live in Quakertown, PA?
The borough has a genuine historic core. The Quakertown Historic District, Liberty Hall, the Enoch Roberts House and the old Passenger and Freight Station are all on the National Register, and the station still sits on the former Bethlehem Line. Main Street is walkable, the housing is close together and mostly prewar, and the entry price is low for a town with this much infrastructure.
Richland and Milford are rural and semi rural, with farmland, larger lots and newer subdivisions mixed among older farmhouses. Quakertown also has several manufactured home communities, and they show up in the sales data.
Neighborhoods in Quakertown, Richland, and Milford
Melody Lakes and Richland Meadows
The two busiest named communities on a Quakertown address, and both are manufactured home communities. Melody Lakes Country Club closed 13 sales at a median of $169,500 and Richland Meadows closed 11 at $96,000. Together they are 24 of the 188 sales in the town. They pull the Quakertown median down, and any market summary that leaves them out is describing a different place.
Cedar Grove Estates and Walnut Bank Farms
The twin and semi detached side. Cedar Grove Estates closed 9 at a median of $315,000 and Walnut Bank Farms closed 5 at $325,000. Twins across the whole Quakertown address closed 21 sales at $325,000, which makes this the most consistent price band in town and the practical entry point for a buyer who wants a conventional home.
Willow Stream and Arbours at Morgan Creek
The townhouse neighborhoods. Willow Stream closed 6 end of row units at a median of $293,606 and Arbours at Morgan Creek closed 4 interior units at $417,500. That is a $123,894 spread between two townhouse communities in the same town, which is why the product type alone tells you very little here.
Valley View Estates, Renaissance at Morgan Creek, and Reserve at Woodside Creek
The detached top end. Valley View Estates closed 5 at $556,501, Renaissance at Morgan Creek closed 4 at $543,211 and Reserve at Woodside Creek closed 4 at $800,000. Detached homes across the Quakertown address closed 105 sales at a median of $527,000, which is $127,000 above the all product median and the number a detached seller should be starting from.
What Kinds of Homes Are for Sale in Quakertown?
The spread is enormous. Sales ran from $46,000 to $1,734,000. Detached homes led with 105 sales at a median of $527,000. Manufactured homes came second by count with 26 at $115,000. Twins closed 21 at $325,000, interior townhouses 20 at $327,500, end of row townhouses 10 at $328,250 and condominiums 4 at $278,500. The median home that sold had 1,632 square feet above grade.
Fifty one of the 188 sales carried a homeowners association and 8 were age restricted. If you are comparing Quakertown to Perkasie or Sellersville on median price alone you will draw the wrong conclusion. Quakertown detached homes at $527,000 sit well above the Sellersville town median. The gap in the headline number is product mix, not neighborhood quality.
New Construction in Quakertown
Keystone Custom Homes’ Millstone at Parkside has a Quakertown address and sits in Milford Township. Keystone lists no buildable sites left there, only its model home for sale. Manufactured home communities in the borough area also place new units, which is why 6 of the 13 Melody Lakes sales this period were recorded as new construction.
Nine of the 188 homes that closed were new construction, under five percent. Quakertown is a resale driven market, which means a seller is competing almost entirely with other homeowners. Details on the communities in the area, including what is offered and what it costs, are in our new construction section.
If you are considering a builder home, talk to us before your first model home visit. Most builders require your agent to be registered on that first visit, and the sales office works for the builder, not for you.
Quakertown Community School District
Quakertown Community School District serves the borough and most of Richland and Milford Townships, and covered 179 of the 188 sales in this window. Five sales fell in Palisades School District and four in Pennridge, which is unusual for a single postal city and worth verifying on any specific address.
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
Fifty eight homes for sale is the deepest inventory in upper Bucks, and the median asking price on it is $462,450. Quakertown is where a buyer priced out of Perkasie or Doylestown has choices, including conventional detached homes in the $300,000s.
Know which submarket you are shopping. Milford Township is moving in 5 days at 104.4 percent of list, so treat anything there as a competitive situation. Quakertown Borough is the opposite, at 12 days and 99.9 percent of list, which is the one place in this batch where a well supported offer below asking has a genuine chance. If you are looking at a manufactured home, understand that the land is usually leased rather than owned and financing works differently, so get that sorted before you write.
What Sellers Should Know Right Now
Seventy two percent of Quakertown sellers got asking or better. But the borough number tells a different story than the townships. At 99.9 percent of list and 12 days to contract, borough sellers are giving a little back, while Milford Township sellers are averaging 104.4 percent.
Pricing is where this town punishes guesswork. With manufactured homes at a $115,000 median and detached homes at $527,000 in the same ZIP code, an automated valuation or a lazy comparable set will be wrong by a factor rather than by a percentage. Your comparable set is your product type in your municipality, and nothing else in Quakertown is close enough to use.
