Henry Meigs is a licensed REALTOR® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach. Flourtown is ten minutes up Bethlehem Pike from his Chestnut Hill office, in Springfield Township, Montgomery County.
Flourtown is two markets wearing one name, and the June numbers show it plainly. Nine homes closed with a median of $1,075,000, but that median is the product of five sales at or above $1 million, several of them newer construction on Creekside and Whitemarsh Drives. The lower end of the same month sat around $575,000 to $640,000.
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.
The transfer tax is where the township location pays you back. Springfield Township charges 2% total, so at the $1,075,000 median the buyer’s customary half is about $10,750. The same price inside Philadelphia would run closer to $24,600. On a purchase at this level that difference is real money, and it is one of the clearest arguments for looking north of the line.
Read the buyer guide →The June median time on market was 9 days, and six of the nine closings went in under two weeks. The one extended sit was a new-construction unit, which is typical: builder inventory follows its own clock and should not be read as the market for an established home.
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, meaning lot, trees, location and finished space for the money, is a more productive position than pricing as though the comparison is not happening.

Read the full Flourtown neighborhood guideJune 2026 was an unusually high-end month. Nine homes closed and five of them went at $1 million or above, including a cluster of newer construction, which pushed the median to $1,075,000. The same month included sales in the $575,000 to $640,000 range. Flourtown genuinely 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.
Springfield Township charges 2% total, 1% local and 1% to the Commonwealth, against Philadelphia’s 4.578%. Buyer and seller customarily split either. At the June median of $1,075,000 the buyer’s share here is about $10,750, where the same price in the city would be closer to $24,600. That is roughly a $13,900 difference on an identical purchase price.
Flourtown is served by the Springfield Township School District, the same district covering Wyndmoor. That consistency is worth noting because it is not true everywhere nearby: Oreland straddles two townships and Glenside spans three districts depending on the street. In Flourtown the answer does not change block to block.
That is the real Flourtown decision and the two paths negotiate very differently. Call 484-571-4577 and I will walk you through both before you commit to one.
