Inventory conditions
Low supply, steady demand
Exton's housing stock is newer than most of the surrounding market, which shortens transactions and narrows inspection issues. Townhomes and carriage homes in the $350,000 to $475,000 range are especially competitive because they serve first-time buyers and downsizers at the same time. Single-family colonials in established developments typically sell between $525,000 and $750,000. Homeowner associations are common, and buyers should review fees, reserves and rules early since those details influence both affordability and resale.
