October Market Summary- Gladwyne

3 Year Months Supply of Inventory in Gladwyne Comparison

๐Ÿšจ Gladwyne Inventory Plummets: Record Low Supply in October

The Gladwyne housing market is tightening significantly, creating maximum leverage for sellers.

Our analysis of the Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) for October 2025 shows supply dropping to 2.35 months. A balanced market is typically 5-6 months, confirming intense demand and a severe shortage of available homes.

Current Supply: 2.35 months

Monthly Change: Down 25.2% (from September)

Annual Change: Down 56.6% (from last year)

For Sellers: This is an ideal time to list. Your home is poised to attract multiple competitive offers due to the deep supply shortage.

For Buyers: Preparation and speed are essential. You must be ready to act immediately on new listings.

Have a wonderful week!

All the bestโ€” Carolyn
