Discover the Philadelphia Condo Market!

Welcome to the vibrant and diverse world of Philadelphia's condominium market! Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, you'll find something that suits your taste and lifestyle in the City of Brotherly Love.

Types of Condo Buildings

  1. High-Rise: If you're looking for luxury and convenience, high-rise condos are your go-to. Concentrated in Rittenhouse Square and Center City, these 9+ story buildings often feature 24-hour door staff, pools, gyms, and parking garages. High-end options include The Laurel and 2100 Hamilton, while more budget-friendly choices are the Dorchester and Society Hill Towers.
  2. Mid-Rise: Mid-rise buildings, typically 5-8 stories, offer a balanced lifestyle. While amenities like a gym or rooftop deck are sometimes available, don't expect a pool or 24-hour door staff. Old City has the highest concentration of these. Many mid-rises are lofts converted from factories or warehouses. Good examples are the White Building, the Rebman Building and Beaux Arts Lofts. They are also more conventional mid-rises such as the Willings and the Moravian
  3. Low-Rise: For a more intimate setting, consider low-rise condos, usually 1-4 stories high. These are often converted townhomes with limited amenities but can offer spacious units over 1500 sq ft in fashionable neighborhoods.

The New Construction Tax abatement is still available and the buildings above get the full abatement. Developments that filed for the abatement after 1/1/2022 get the full abatement for the first year but it decreases by 10% each year thereafter. New construction has accounted for 10% of condo sales in Philadelphia in 2023

Since there is an inherent lag in real estate sales statistics due to the time between contract signing and settlement, statistics on contract signing and price changes are presented below. The Under Contract column below is a good measure of how many homes are being signed to a purchase contract. It includes homes that have changed state from Active to Active under Contract and those that have changed from Active to Pending. The Price Decrease column shows the number of properties taking price decreases in the given period. Sellers would do this in order to sell their homes.
