Yardley PA homes for sale cover two municipalities that share one name, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers sort out which one they are actually in. Yardley Borough is a small river town of about 2,600 people. Lower Makefield Township wraps around it on three sides with about 33,000 residents, and nearly every home in the township carries a Yardley mailing address. The figures on this page cover both, because that is how buyers search.
What the Yardley Numbers Mean
This is one of the fastest and most competitive markets in Bucks County. Half of the 257 homes that closed since March went under contract within 7 days, and the typical sale finished at 101.2% of asking, which means the average home sold above list price. The $725,000 median sale price sits well below the $874,450 median asking price, and that gap is not a price jump coming. The active shelf leans toward new construction on Surrey Lane plus riverfront and estate properties, which pull the asking median up. More homes are under contract right now (54) than are for sale (48).
Where Is Yardley? County, Township, and ZIP
Yardley is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on the Delaware River across from Ewing Township, New Jersey. Yardley Borough is its own municipality with 2,605 residents at the 2020 census. Lower Makefield Township surrounds it, covers 18.3 square miles, and had 33,180 residents in 2020. Both use ZIP code 19067, which also reaches into Morrisville and part of Falls Township, so the ZIP alone does not tell you the municipality. Lower Makefield borders Upper Makefield, Newtown Township, Middletown Township, Falls Township, and Morrisville Borough.
What Is It Like to Live in Yardley, PA?
Yardley Borough is a walkable river town. The downtown runs along South Main Street and Afton Avenue, and the Delaware Canal State Park towpath cuts through the borough from northwest to southeast with access points at Afton Avenue and College Avenue. Lake Afton sits beside the Old Library, an 1878 carpenter Gothic building that has housed the Yardley Historical Association since 1977. The Yardley Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Lower Makefield is where the open space and the larger subdivisions are. Five Mile Woods Nature Preserve covers 300 acres off Big Oak Road with trails and an ADA boardwalk. Macclesfield Park covers 92 acres along the river. The Garden of Reflection, Pennsylvania’s official September 11 memorial, was dedicated in 2006. The township owns Makefield Highlands Golf Club and runs the Pool at LMT on Edgewood Road with four pools and two water slides. Shady Brook Farm on Stony Hill Road is the area’s farm market and seasonal event site.
Getting to work runs two directions. SEPTA’s West Trenton Line stops at Yardley station on Reading Avenue in the borough, with 275 parking spaces, and at Woodbourne in neighboring Middletown Township. Most weekday trains run through to 30th Street Station. Drivers use I-295, which crosses the Delaware on the Scudder Falls Bridge into New Jersey, and the Trenton Transit Center across the river connects to NJ Transit and Amtrak toward New York.

What Buyers Should Know Right Now
Expect competition on anything priced correctly. With homes going under contract in a median of 7 days and closing above asking on average, you need financing settled and a clear top number before you tour. Check the flood zone on any property near the river or the canal. Yardley Borough participates in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System at Class 8 and Lower Makefield at Class 7, which discounts premiums, but a new policy carries a 30-day waiting period, so read our guide to flood insurance in Lower Makefield before you write an offer. Taxes are changing in the borough too. Yardley Borough Council plans to adopt a 1 percent earned income tax on October 6, 2026 while cutting 10 mills from its real estate tax, and Lower Makefield has no earned income tax, so the municipality line on a listing matters. Read our breakdown of the Yardley wage tax. Buyers looking north into Upper Makefield should also read about the pipeline leak and well-water testing there. If you are searching Yardley PA homes for sale, sort by municipality before you sort by price.
What Sellers Should Know Right Now
You are in the strongest seller position in lower Bucks County. More homes are under contract than are listed, and the typical sale finished at 101.2% of asking. That still rewards precision over reach. The homes that hit the 7-day median were priced against recent closings in their own subdivision, while the average of 16 days shows what happens to the ones that started high. Do not price a 1990s colonial against the Surrey Lane new construction. Price it against the last three sales on your street among Yardley PA homes for sale, and let the market bid from there.
