Milford is a town located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The population was 10,827 at the 2010 census.

The town's real estate market has seen steady growth over the past few years, with median home prices reaching $269,000 in 2017.

The history of real estate in Milford can be traced back to the early 1800s. At that time, Milford was a small farming community surrounded by forests and farmland. In 1802, William Penn granted land to John Dickinson for use as a Quaker meeting house and burial ground. By 1810, there were enough Quakers living in Milford to form a congregation and build their own meeting house on Church Street (now known as Meeting House Lane).

In 1822, Joseph Priestley purchased land on what is now Priestley Road (named after the famous scientist) and began developing what would become one of Milford's most prominent neighborhoods – Priestley Heights. Over the next several decades, other wealthy families began moving into Priestley Heights – including the Pearsons (who built Pearson Hall), the Shippensburgs (who built Shippensburg Hall), and the Kennedys (who built Kennedy Hall).

As Milford grew more prosperous over time, so did its real estate market. By 1870, there were already enough affluent residents living in Milford to form two separate real estate associations: The North Side Association and The South Side Association. These associations served as informal marketing organizations for members' properties – helping them attract buyers from outside of town who were interested in investing in local businesses and property values.

By 1900, Milford's population had reached 3,000 residents – making it ripe for development by developers looking to capitalize on its growing popularity among wealthy Philadelphia residents seeking suburban homes away from city noise and pollution. One such developer was George Wertheimer – who constructed several high-end residential neighborhoods including Wertheimer Heights (now part of Upper Merion Township), Wertheimer Terrace (now part of Cheltenham Township), and Wertheimer Park (now part of Bala Cynwyd Township).

Over time, other developers followed suit – constructing new neighborhoods such as Willow Grove Park (now part of Lower Merion Township), Woodlands Park (now part of Upper Darby Township), Fox Chase Village (now part of Fox Chase Township), East Fallsington Village (now part of East Fallsington Borough), West Oak Lane Estates (now part of West Oak Lane Borough), Chestnut Hill Manor Estates/Chestnut Hill Manor Villas/Chestnut Hill Manor II/Chestnut Hill Manor III/Oakland Hills Estate/Oakland Hills II/Oakland Hills III/Oakland Hills IV/Piney Woods Estate/Piney Woods II/, Piney Woods III/, Cedarbrook Estate /Cedarbrook I/, Cedarbrook II/, Cedarbrook III/, Mill Creek Village / Mill Creek I/, Mill Creek II/, Mill Creek III/.

Today's real estate market in Milford continues to be strong overall – with median home prices reaching $269K last year! There are several reasons why this is happening: First off ,the town has seen steady growth over recent years due to its proximity to Philadelphia . Secondly ,many longtime homeowners have decided to downsize or sell their homes due to rising costs associated with maintaining a large home , while also facing increased competition from newer development projects . And finally ,many first-time buyers are now choosing towns like Milford due to their affordability compared with larger cities like Philadelphia . Overall ,real estate agents believe that there is potential for even more growth within the town's market over the next few years !
