The short answer
What should buyers know about the Parkland area housing market?
The Parkland area is one of the tightest markets in Lehigh County, with reports for 2026 describing record prices and inventory at roughly 1.1 months of supply during parts of the year. South Whitehall Township's recent median sale prices have run about $385,000 to $390,000, with single-family homes commonly in the $400,000s and townhomes lower. The Zillow Home Value Index shows Orefield (ZIP 18069) around $535,600 and Schnecksville (ZIP 18078) around $435,200.
The drivers are schools and location. Parkland School District is one of the most requested districts in the Lehigh Valley, and the townships sit close to major employers, regional shopping, the Turnpike, and both Allentown and Bethlehem. That demand keeps inventory low and listings moving quickly, which is demanding for buyers.
The buyer's playbook in Parkland: get a written pre-approval before you start, tell your agent exactly what you want so you can view homes the day they list, and be ready to move on price and terms. Tim Tepes has been selling in the Parkland area for over 36 years and knows which streets, builders, and price points match each buyer's goals.
