I’m not sure what the most recent trends are, but the real estate prices have really skyrocketed. When we bought in Bucks County in 1997, we looked at a LOT of homes. It was a real sellers market then. If you found a home you liked, you had to put the bid in before you walked out the door. There would often be bidding wars that evening.
If you look at a consumer price calculator to factor in inflation, say http://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/data/us/calc/ it appears that the value of our home has risen at a greater rate than inflation.
Bucks County has a lot to offer. Some of the advantages for Bucks County compared to our old neighborhood in Northeast Philly were- Easier parking in Bucks- Cooler temperatures overall – we are surrounded by trees now, not asphalt, buildings and cement.- We like the Bucks Politics a whole lot better than philly and their constantly indicted politicos with strange stuff on their blackberries- Better schools- A more favorable environment for small business owners.- Lower car insurance- Generally safer neighborhoods
