Half of the homes that sold in ZIP code 18940 from April through September 2026 went under contract within 6 days, and the average home sold for 100.6% of its list price (Bright MLS). The McKnight Team lists and sells homes across Bucks 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 Newtown?

Quickly, if the price is right. From April through September 2026, half of Newtown homes found a buyer within 6 days. The average was 19 days.

Newtown moves quickly when the price fits the part of town. Homes near State Street, in Newtown Grant, and on the outer roads each draw a different buyer. A price set for the wrong one is what stretches the average to 19 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 Newtown?

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 Newtown home, the math is different, because half of recent Newtown sales went under contract within 6 days at 100.6% 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 Newtown Home

Pricing comes first. An older character home near State Street, a townhome in Newtown Crossing, and a single family home in Newtown Grant do not share comps. We price your home against recent sales in your part of Newtown, of the same home type.

Next, we get the home ready for its first week. In the planned communities, that often means updating the finishes buyers compare side by side. In the borough, it means showing off the character buyers came for. 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.
