Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's median sold price is 112,500, which should be treated as the primary indicator of recent market value and transaction activity; with the price year-over-year trend down and the market temperature cold, recent sales point toward softening valuations.
  2. The median listing price is 149,500 compared with the median sold price 112,500, which may indicate pricing friction where seller expectations exceed realized sale prices and could necessitate list-price adjustments to achieve quicker transactions.
  3. The median days on market is 249, signaling slower sales velocity; paired with elevated inventory relative to sales activity, this suggests reduced liquidity and that sellers may face longer marketing periods.
  4. The median market rent is 1,250, and the rent year-over-year trend is down; combined with elevated interest rate pressure (Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Philadelphia, PA, are averaging approximately 6.53%), this environment may limit near-term rent growth and place additional pressure on price appreciation.
