Philly Scores: Great Place to Buy Real Estate

August 6, 2008 at 5:56 pm · Filed under Philadelphia Market Conditions, Relocating Buyers, YO Philly

Forbes Magazine in a recent article listing the top 10 cities to buy a home, ranked Philadelphia as the 4th best place to buy a house in the U.S.

“ The City of Brotherly Love has a tight housing market–just 1.9% vacancy–reflecting the lure of a charming and historic American city. Steeped in tradition, this city is priced well, with a median home price of $234,900, up from $215,000 in 2005. With abundant cultural outlets, including universities, museums and theaters, Philly is a great place to call home.”

The ranking was determined by the cost of buying versus renting, tax incentives where present, and whether a buyer would have an opportunity to build equity. Forbes surveyed the 40 largest metropolitan area housing metrics looking for cities where prices have appreciated over the last two years. It also measured vacancy rates, providing extra points where rents are significantly higher than a buyer’s mortgage payment for the same home. Philadelphia’s place was earned due to price stability, increasing rents and affordable housing stock.

YO we all know that Philly is a city on the rise with a tempting cost of living.

10 Amazing Reasons to Move to Philly

1. More colleges than Boston.

Two Ivy League schools in an hours drive, dozens of excellent universities.

2. One of the world’s biggest city parks.

Depending on who you talk to, Fairmount Park may be the 2nd largest city park in the world. Tennis, trail riding, fishing, a Japanese garden, free Orchestra concerts, it’s all there.

3. America’s 2nd-largest shopping mall.

King of Prussia complex is up there with the Mall of America.

4. Half of the American population is within a two-hour drive.

Great for your business. Not so great if you’re trying to avoid

annoying relatives. But still.

5. Midway between DC and New York.

No need to drive, either. Amtrak is excellent.  Manhattan is an easy day trip and a

do-able commute of about 75 minutes by train.

6. Midway between the mountains and the beach.

90 minutes to the Poconos. An hour fifteen to the Jersey Shore.

7.  Great BYOBs

Philadelphia is not just famous for restaurants, but for bring-your-own bottle restaurants. A huge savings for thousands of Philadelphia foodies.

8.  Easy flights in and out of Europe.

Travel veterans know it: Philadelphia customs is a faster process than New York’s.

9.  And then there’s Delaware.

Forty minutes down 95 and no sales tax on anything. Enough said.

10. More Impressionists than Paris.

Philadelphia’s museums have the largest collection of Impressionist paintings outside France.  So there.
