Selling a house in Philadelphia: what's different here
Philadelphia sits in Philadelphia County, PA (city and county are coterminous).
Philadelphia's row-home stock is over a century old across much of the city — party-wall, roof, and masonry items are standard pricing inputs local cash buyers handle daily.
The city's own realty transfer tax stacks on the state's, making Philadelphia's one of the highest combined rates in the country; we spell out the net-proceeds math before you commit.
How closings work in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania closings run through title companies; cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Seller taxes and fees in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s realty transfer tax is 1% to the state plus a local share — about 2% combined in most municipalities, and higher in Philadelphia, which has one of the highest combined rates in the country. It is commonly split buyer/seller but is negotiable.
If you're behind on the mortgage in Pennsylvania
