Bensalem, PA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Bensalem closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last six months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 273
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $410,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $248
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $360,000 and $495,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 273 closed sales in Bensalem over the last six months, with a median closing price of $410,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $360,000 and $495,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 267 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $207 and $282 per square foot.

Where Bensalem sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Bensalem over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $360,000 and $495,000. Among the 48 Pennsylvania markets with a published band, Bensalem's middle-half spread ($360,000 to $495,000) ranks 2nd from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 15 days, across 148 Bensalem closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 33 days, across 138 Bensalem closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Bensalem angle

Within that compact band the shape still leans upward. The distance from the median up to the upper quartile is greater than the distance down to the lower quartile, so the market grants more latitude above an ordinary sale than below one. Priced against that structure, a typical Bensalem property can start sensibly from $410,000, while anything you believe belongs toward the top of the band needs comps to cover a longer climb than the compact overall range suggests.

From market read to offer price

A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Bensalem address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Bensalem over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track across Bensalem Township are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 20% of the 273 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $414,750.
