Old Kensington Market Statistics January 2008 through October 2008 - The Somers Team

19122  makes up Old Kensington and Yorktown - Market Statistics

Lawrence St Condos - Old Kensington - The Somers TeamContact Chris and Stephanie Somers at thesomersteam@yahoo.com for more information and market statisitcs and trends regarding Old Kensington and the Old Kensington / Yorktown real estate market.

From January 2008 though October 2008, there were 269 units listed, of which 65 went pending and 57 sold.

The average listing price was $204,300 and the average days on market is 78.

For the properties that have sold in Old Kensington, the average listing price was $154,176 and the average sold price was $132,656.

 

The current inventory is 147 properties.  With the average being 5.7 properties selling per month, there are 25 months of inventory on the market.

Outlook:  A lot of inventory remains on the market in Old Kensington (147 properties).  A high percentage of the inventory is new construction, both houses and condominiums as well as high end rehabs.  The area confuses a lot of investors as well as its consumers due to it's immediate vincinty to Northern Liberties.  Since the sales are much higher in Northern Liberties there is speculation and belief that Old Kensington will play catch-up, thus the high level of development in the area.  However, sellers did not foresee the market slowdown and in some cases, have over improved properties in the area which makes the short term uncertain.  That being said, the longer term outlook is still excellent as the growth trend is still well intact.  This is one of our favourite spots for investment in all of Philadelphia.

Old City Market Statistics - January through October 2008 - The Somers Team

19106  makes up Old City - Old City Market Statistics

Old City Real Estate - The Somers TeamContact Chris and Stephanie Somers at thesomersteam@yahoo.com for more information and market statisitcs and trends regarding Old City and the Old City real estate market.

From January 2008 though October 2008, there were 576 units listed, of which 171 went pending and 175 sold.

The average listing price was $467,264 and the average days on market is 88.

For the properties that have sold in Old City, the average listing price was $411,648 and the average sold price was $381,993.

 

The current inventory is 230 properties.  With the average being 17.5 properties selling per month, there are 13 months of inventory on the market.

Outlook:  A lot of inventory remains on the market in Old City (230 properties).   The differential is now at 92 percent of the listing price.  With inventory on the rise and the days on market creeping above the average in the last 10 months, prices will probably start to drift down.  For example, the average days on market in Sept and Oct 2008 were 134 and 152.   Some of these listings are from new construction and developers that will either need to bring prices down or rent out some of their units instead.  Is an excellent time for a buyer in this area as the location is prime within Philadelphia.
