Quick Answers for Lehigh Valley Buyers and Sellers

Straight answers to the questions Tim hears most, so you can make an informed decision about buying or selling in the Lehigh Valley.

Yes, sellers still hold the edge in the Lehigh Valley in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about living in the Lehigh Valley.

What is the Lehigh Valley?
The Lehigh Valley is a two-county region in eastern Pennsylvania made up of Lehigh and Northampton Counties. It includes three cities, Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, along with more than 60 boroughs and townships. The region has a combined population of approximately 708,000 residents and a GDP exceeding $50 billion.
How is the current real estate market in the Lehigh Valley?
The Lehigh Valley market remains in high demand. Per the most recent fully published Greater Lehigh Valley REALTORS report, the July 2026 update, the median home price was $370,000, up 5.9% year over year, with homes selling in a median 19 days and about 1.6 months of supply across Lehigh and Northampton Counties. GLVR's August report, released in mid-September 2026, shows closed sales and inventory up again. Supply is still well below the level that marks a balanced market, so well-priced homes continue to draw strong competition. The region remains more affordable than many Northeast metro areas. For the latest data, see the Lehigh Valley Real Estate Market Update.
What types of homes are available in the Lehigh Valley?
The Lehigh Valley offers a wide range of housing: historic rowhomes in city centers, suburban single-family homes, new construction, townhomes, condos, and rural properties with acreage. Pricing varies by community, with options from the low $200,000s to luxury estates.
What school districts serve the Lehigh Valley?
The region is served by numerous school districts including Allentown, Bethlehem Area, Easton Area, Parkland, Nazareth Area, Whitehall-Coplay, Southern Lehigh, Saucon Valley, Northampton Area, and many more. Each district offers distinct programs and serves specific communities throughout the region.
How far is the Lehigh Valley from major cities?
The Lehigh Valley is approximately 60 miles north of Philadelphia, 80 miles west of New York City, and 200 miles from Washington, D.C. Interstate 78 and Route 22 provide major highway access, and the region is served by Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE).
