Sell Your Cheltenham Home

Updated October 2026 · By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team · Market figures from Bright MLS, Cheltenham Township, April through September 2026

Cheltenham Township is a set of distinct neighborhoods, and each one prices differently. The township includes Elkins Park, Wyncote, Melrose Park, and the Cheltenham side of Glenside. Half of the homes that sold in Cheltenham Township from April through September 2026 went under contract within 7 days, and the average home sold for 100.2% of its list price (Bright MLS). The McKnight Team lists and sells homes across Montgomery County. This page covers what the market looks like, what your options are, and how we would sell your home.

How Fast Do Homes Sell in Cheltenham?

Quickly, if the price is right. From April through September 2026, half of Cheltenham homes found a buyer within 7 days. The average was 32 days.

Cheltenham buyers have choices, so they compare. Well priced homes still go in about a week. Homes priced ahead of the market wait, and that stretches the average to 32 days. Our guide on how long it takes to sell a house covers the full timeline.

Should You Sell to a “We Buy Houses” Company in Cheltenham?

Cash home buyers promise speed, no repairs, and no showings. Those are real benefits, and they come at a price. The offer has to leave room to fix the home, hold it, and sell it again at a profit.

For some sellers, that is the right call. For a well kept Cheltenham home, the math is different, because half of recent Cheltenham sales went under contract within 7 days at 100.2% of list.

Our advice: if you get a cash offer, ask us for a market value on the same home. Put the two side by side before you sign. We will help you compare them, even if you end up taking the cash offer.

How We Sell a Cheltenham Home

Pricing comes first. A 1920s stone colonial in Wyncote, a home near the Old York Road corridor in Elkins Park, and a home closer to Cheltenham Avenue sell to different buyers. We price against recent sales in your neighborhood, of the same home type.

Next, we handle what older homes bring up. Many Cheltenham homes have decades of character and decades of wear, so we flag what to fix and what to disclose before the home goes live. Then come professional photos and a launch date.

Josh and Jenn McKnight personally run sales, with the help of our agents and in-house transaction staff. You will know who is on your file from day one.
