Real estate in Montgomery is generally expensive compared to other cities in Pennsylvania. The median home price in Montgomery was $269,900 as of September 2017. This makes it one of the more expensive cities in Pennsylvania to buy a home, but it's still cheaper than some other major cities such as Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. The average rent for an apartment in Montgomery was $1,090 per month as of September 2017.

One reason why real estate prices are high in Montgomery is that there are relatively few homes available for sale compared to other cities in Pennsylvania. As of September 2017 there were only 2,814 homes available for sale within the city limits, which is significantly lower than Philadelphia (which had over 47,000 homes available) or Pittsburgh (which had over 21,000 homes available). This lack of availability may be due to restrictions on development imposed by local government officials or because buyers are preferring smaller towns with more character instead of large cities like Montgomery.
