Flourtown is 10 minutes up Bethlehem Pike from Henry Meigs’s Chestnut Hill office, in Springfield Township. He works both tiers of a market that runs from mid-century Colonials to new construction.
Flourtown is two markets wearing one name, and August shows it plainly. Four of the seven closings were established resales running $440,000 to $730,000, the Colonial core of the market. Two were new-construction townhomes on Pennybrook Court at $815,260 and $994,277, and one estate on nearly two acres closed at $1,950,000. Which tier you are shopping matters more than the town number.
So the first question is not what Flourtown costs. It is which Flourtown you are shopping. Established Colonials, Cape Cods and ranch homes trade in one band with the inspection profile of their age. New construction trades in another, with a different negotiation, a builder’s warranty and a very different set of things to verify before you sign.
Transaction costs here are straightforward. Springfield Township charges a 2% transfer tax, 1% local and 1% to the Commonwealth, and buyer and seller customarily split it evenly, so at August’s $730,000 median the buyer’s half is about $7,300.
Read the buyer guide →The August median time on market was nine days, and four of the seven closings went under agreement inside 10 days of listing. The slowest, a $1,950,000 estate, took 28 days and closed at just under 80 percent of its original asking price, which is the arithmetic of overpricing in a market this small.
If you own one of Flourtown’s older Colonials, the new construction nearby is a complication worth planning around rather than ignoring. Buyers will have seen it. Being clear about what your house offers that a new build does not, whether that is lot, trees, location or finished space for the money, is a more productive position than pricing as though the comparison is not happening.

Because two tiers trade under one name. August 2026 closed seven sales at a $730,000 median, but that figure covers two new-construction townhomes at $815,260 and $994,277 and an estate at $1,950,000 alongside four established homes between $440,000 and $730,000. July closed four established homes between $450,000 and $765,000 at a $572,500 median. Flourtown pairs established mid-century housing with a meaningful tier of new construction, so a single median describes neither well.
The negotiation, the timeline and the due diligence all change. Builder contracts are typically the builder’s own paperwork rather than the standard Pennsylvania agreement, deposits and change-order terms work differently, and the warranty replaces much of what a resale inspection would surface. None of that is a reason to avoid new construction. It is a reason to have someone reading the contract who does not work for the builder.
Yes, and that is worth noting because it is not true everywhere nearby. Flourtown sits entirely within Springfield Township, the same township as Wyndmoor, so the municipal rules and the resale requirements are the same across the community. Oreland straddles Springfield and Upper Dublin, and Glenside spans Cheltenham and Abington, so in those towns the answer can change block to block.
That is the real Flourtown decision and the two paths negotiate very differently. Call 484-571-4577 and we can walk through both together before you commit to one.
