Philadelphia, PA 19125 Real Estate Market Report

ZIP Code: 19125
Report Date: February 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only


Executive Overview

The median sold price in Philadelphia, PA (ZIP: 19125) is currently $335,000, reflecting a competitive market despite a backdrop of declining prices. This suggests a potential disconnect between seller expectations and buyer willingness, particularly as the neighborhood has seen a notable decrease in median sale prices. The market's dynamics are characterized by 178 days on the market, indicating slower sales velocity and potentially longer transaction times, which may deter some buyers and create pricing friction for sellers.

Inventory conditions reveal elevated levels of supply relative to sales activity, which may further pressure prices downward. The median listing price stands at $373,750, creating a significant gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are willing to pay, thus contributing to a more cautious market atmosphere. Overall, the market temperature is neutral, suggesting a balance in supply and demand, but with signs of potential softening as inventory remains high and sales activity moderates.
