Key Findings

1. The neighborhood's primary market-value indicator, median sold price 200,000, reflects recent transaction levels while broader trends show prices down, signaling a cooling market compared with the Greater Philadelphia region.

2. The median listing price 209,900 exceeds the median sold price 200,000, which suggests pricing friction between seller expectations and realized transaction prices and may pressure sellers to adjust offers to achieve sales.

3. The median days on market 244 points to slower sales velocity and extended marketing timelines, which may reduce negotiating leverage for sellers and require extended holding strategies.

4. Rental fundamentals remain supportive—median market rent 1,400 with rent year-over-year trend up—however, elevated interest rate pressure (Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in the Philadelphia 19144 market are approximately 6.3%) elevates affordability headwinds and contributes to a seller lock-in effect that can limit listing supply.
