As you can see Lower Merion Township (Montgomery County) has the highest Days On Market, 102 DOM and the highest Months Supply of Inventory at 10.9 MSI, an increase of 8% over September of 2007 with Radnor Township (Delaware County) following close behind. In part, a backlog of New Construction, Luxury Home Styles and a higher median sale price are the main reasons.
West Goshen and East Goshen Township are really normal looking, balanced real estate markets.
