At the time of this post, there are 145 properties for sale in Rittenhouse Square, slightly more than 3 months supply given that approximately 45 properties sold per month in 2016. A market with less than 6 month's inventory is considered to be a seller's market. This is further confirmed by an increase in the average price of homes sold of almost 6%. The increase of almost 3% in the number of homes listed in 2016 was not sufficient to meet the demand for properties. This is a common refrain in the Philadelphia area and indeed in the entire country.

2 - 3% of sales, all townhouses, were new construction. These units are in the Van Pelt Mews and Walnut Estates developments and in the $1.5M - $2.5M price range.
