Pennsburg PA homes for sale are an affordable entry into Montgomery County, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers use that correctly. Pennsburg Borough is a 0.80 square mile town of about 3,889 people at the junction of Routes 29 and 663, part of the Upper Perk strip alongside Red Hill and East Greenville. The figures on this page cover the borough and the surrounding valley, because that is how buyers search.
What the Pennsburg Numbers Mean
One hundred eleven homes closed in six months at a median of $415,000, and seventy nine percent of sellers got asking price or better. The average sale closed at 101.4 percent of list.
The pace reads slower than that suggests. The median went under contract in 6 days but the average was 25, and 27 percent of listings took more than a month. The reason is the same one that shows up in Sellersville. Twenty three of the 111 sales, about one in five, were new construction.
There are 36 homes for sale and 29 under contract, and the median asking price on the active inventory is $452,495. That is close to the closed median, which is unusual and healthy. In Pennsburg what is on the market is genuinely what has been selling.
Where Is Pennsburg? County, Borough, and ZIP
Pennsburg is in Montgomery County, in the 18073 ZIP code, at the far northwestern end of the county where Routes 29 and 663 meet. It was incorporated in 1888 and has grown steadily, from 627 people in 1890 to 3,889 in 2020, with a 40.7 percent jump in the 2010s alone.
It sits in the middle of the Upper Perk strip with Red Hill and East Greenville, three small boroughs in a row along Route 29, wrapped by Upper Hanover Township. The 18073 ZIP covers the borough and a good deal of the surrounding township. One hundred nine of the 111 sales were in the Upper Perkiomen School District, with two falling into Quakertown Community, so the district here is close to but not entirely uniform.
What Is It Like to Live in Pennsburg, PA?
Small town, low density, and a long drive from anywhere with a highway. The Farmers National Bank building from 1926 anchors the main crossroads. Perkiomen School, a private secondary school, has been here for generations. There is a nature preserve along Macoby Creek.
What brings buyers is the arithmetic. A detached home here closed at a median of $524,900 against $700,000 in Collegeville, forty minutes south. Families who want land and a house rather than a commute find this end of the county early, and the 40.7 percent population growth in the 2010s is what that looks like in the data.
Neighborhoods in Pennsburg and the Upper Perk Valley
Northgate
The most concentrated neighborhood in this entire project. Northgate closed 35 sales in six months at a median of $379,990, which is nearly a third of everything that sold on a Pennsburg address. It is a townhouse community, and it is effectively the middle of the Pennsburg market by itself. If you own here you have more genuine comparable sales than almost any homeowner in Montgomery County. If you are buying elsewhere in town, be careful, because Northgate sales are what most automated estimates will reach for and they may not describe your house at all.
Deerfield Estates
Fifteen sales at a median of $419,990, and every one of them was new construction. This is the Berks Homes twin community and it accounts for most of the builder activity on the address. A resale twin seller comparing against Deerfield is comparing against a new house with a warranty, which is not the same product.
Still Waters, Cherry Heights, and Montgomery Meadows
The established twin neighborhoods, closing 4 sales each at medians of $366,200, $391,750 and $373,000. Twins across the whole Pennsburg address closed 30 at $404,500. This is the resale comparable set a twin owner should actually be using.
Seminary Way and the detached market
Seminary Way closed 3 homes at a median of $515,000, close to the $524,900 detached median for the whole address. Detached homes closed 49 sales at $524,900 and ran up to $1,002,828 at the top. The detached market here is smaller than the attached market in transaction count, which is unusual for a rural end of the county.
What Kinds of Homes Are for Sale in Pennsburg?
The mix leans attached, which surprises people. Detached homes closed 49 sales at a median of $524,900. Twins and semi detached closed 30 at $404,500. Interior townhouses closed 19 at $350,000 and end of row units closed 13 at $355,000, a nearly identical price. The median home that sold had 1,764 square feet above grade.
Sixty six of the 111 sales carried a homeowners association, which is high and reflects how much of the recent building here has been planned communities. Only 1 sale was age restricted. Sales ranged from $227,000 to $1,002,828.
New Construction in Pennsburg
Three builders are selling new homes with a Pennsburg address, and each community sits in a different municipality. D.R. Horton’s Creekside Village, with townhomes and single family homes, is in Red Hill Borough. Berks Homes’ Deerfield is in Pennsburg Borough. Keystone Custom Homes’ Glenwood Chase is in Upper Hanover Township. We verified all three at the county parcel record. All three are in the Upper Perkiomen School District, so the school portion of the tax bill is set the same way at each. The municipal portion is not.
Twenty three of the 111 homes that closed were new construction, about one in five. For a resale seller, that is competition on every weekend of showings. Details on each community, 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.
Upper Perkiomen School District
Upper Perkiomen School District serves Pennsburg Borough along with Red Hill, East Greenville and Upper Hanover Township, and accounted for 109 of the 111 sales in this window. Four sales on a Pennsburg address fell into Quakertown Community School District.
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. The 2026 rate for every Montgomery County municipality and the bill due dates are in our Montgomery County property tax guide.
What Buyers Should Know Right Now
Thirty six homes for sale against 111 sales in six months is about two months of inventory, which is more breathing room than Perkasie or Collegeville offers. And the asking prices on standing inventory are close to what has actually been selling, so what you see online is a fair picture of the market.
The trade is distance. This is the far corner of Montgomery County and there is no quick highway. If that works for your commute, Pennsburg buys a lot of house per dollar. If you want a townhouse, Northgate is where most of the transactions happen and it trades often enough that you will get chances.
What Sellers Should Know Right Now
Seventy nine percent of Pennsburg sellers got asking or better. Your buyer pool is smaller than it would be closer to Philadelphia, but the buyers who come here have usually already decided on the area, which is why they pay asking.
The two things to plan for are builder competition and the Northgate effect. One buyer in five on this address is buying new, so your home needs to be the obvious better value on condition and price. And if you own a detached home, do not let anyone price it off Northgate townhouse sales just because they are the most numerous comparables in the ZIP code. Detached here is a $524,900 market and Northgate is a $379,990 market.
