The Valor Drive house in Coopersburg went under contract 5 days after the current listing date and closed at its full asking price, the highest-priced of five home sales reported in the Allentown, Pennsylvania metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026. Together the five closings came to $5.51 million.
Coopersburg produced the top two sales, Bethlehem the bottom two and Easton the one in between.

Tuscany Hill in Coopersburg and Fox Creek in Easton account for two more named communities on the list.
