Morton PA homes for sale are some of the most affordable in the Delaware County suburbs, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers work a market where only a handful of homes change hands each month. Morton Borough covers about a third of a square mile, so this page uses a full 12 months of Bright MLS data instead of the six-month window on our larger town pages. That keeps the numbers honest.
What the Morton Numbers Mean
Eighteen homes closed in Morton over the past year at a median of $302,450, and half of them went under contract within 7 days. The typical sale finished at 100.2% of asking, so buyers are paying list price but not much more. Closings ran from $120,000 for a 1900 home on Harding Avenue to $535,000 for a five-bedroom on Providence Road. With only two homes for sale right now and two under contract, a single new listing changes the picture, which is why we do not quote a median asking price for the borough.

Morton Borough council met on September 9, 2026 to consider a 1 percent earned income tax, which would change the monthly math for anyone who works.
