Tri-County Suburban REALTORS® continues to help members communicate the latest real
estate market conditions with a set of Monthly Residential Market Statistics for area counties and their respective school districts. Note that these monthly statistics cover all school districts in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Philadelphia, and select Berks County & New Castle County school districts are also available. The reports are updated between the 10th and the 12th of the month for the previous month’s statistics. If you have questions or requests, please contact Tri-County Suburban REALTORS® Director of Marketing and Communications, Lauren Davis.

Tri-County Suburban has expanded our reporting to now include Attached/Townhouse data in each Local Market Insight Report in addition to Detached and Attached home types. This provides members with a more complete and accurate view of the market. As buyer demand, affordability considerations, and housing inventory continue to evolve, Attached/Townhouse properties represent a growing segment of the market. Incorporating this data offers a clearer picture of pricing trends, inventory levels, and sales activity across all residential property types, ensuring our members have the most comprehensive insights possible to guide client conversations. You'll find this data on the 5th page of each Local Market Insight Report for each county, and school district.

An assortment of reports is also available to Bright MLS subscribers at BrightMLS.com such as a monthly Market Report, and a Marketing ToolKit to coincide. The Philadelphia Metro August 2026 Housing Market Report will also offer monthly market data in that region with infographics, charts, and more. Tri-County's major counties (Chester, Delaware, and
Montgomery) are included in this report. For more detailed report, once logged into Bright
MLS, click the "Market" tab and choose the "Market Statistics Report" button in the drop-down menu to access various reports.

As Pennsylvania’s senior population continues to grow, REALTORS® have an opportunity to develop specialized expertise in serving clients age 50 and older. The Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation is designed for real estate professionals who want to better understand the unique needs, motivations and financial considerations of mature clients navigating a major housing transition.

Whether a client is downsizing, relocating, purchasing an active adult home, considering assisted living, or exploring aging-in-place options, these decisions often involve much more than a real estate transaction. The SRES® designation helps REALTORS® develop the knowledge and resources to guide clients and their families through these important decisions with confidence.

In this two-day course, on November 2^nd and 3^rd (9:00 am - 4:30 pm each day) you’ll gain insight into the unique needs, motivations and financial considerations of mature clients while learning strategies to better guide them through important decisions. With Baby Boomers representing one of the largest and most financially significant consumer groups in the country, developing expertise in this market can open the door to new opportunities and help REALTORS® provide an even higher level of service.

If you’re passionate about working with clients over 50 and want to strengthen your ability to guide them through important housing and lifestyle transitions, the SRES® designation can be a valuable addition to your professional expertise.

French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust announced the permanent protection of 78 acres of land in West Vincent Township. The deal was finalized on Aug. 13, in partnership with landowners Paul and Cynthia Black, the township and Chester County. The conservation easement expands an existing cluster of preserved properties to create a contiguous 236-acre corridor of land protected in perpetuity, according to a press release. The land — a prime target for development due to its size and location — was the largest unprotected parcel along Pughtown Road.
