Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-largest city and one of the oldest urban housing markets in America. Unlike most major cities, Philadelphia is a city-county coterminous entity, Philadelphia County and the City of Philadelphia are the same jurisdiction, meaning all property records, tax filings, and court proceedings run through the same Philadelphia municipal system. The city's housing stock is distinctive: block after block of attached rowhouses built between 1890 and 1940, representing one of the densest concentrations of that housing type in the country. Those rowhouses vary enormously by neighborhood, gentrifying blocks in South Philly fetch $400K+, while similar structures in certain North and West Philadelphia corridors remain deeply affordable and face persistent deferred maintenance. Philadelphia's Sheriff's Sales are among the highest-volume judicial foreclosure markets in the Northeast, driven by the city's long-running foreclosure pipeline and high property tax burden relative to income in its working-class neighborhoods. The Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas judicial process can run 6-18 months from filing to Sheriff's Sale.
We buy in every Philadelphia neighborhood and surrounding area:
