Selling a house in Pennsylvania: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Pennsylvania closings run through title companies; cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Seller taxes and fees
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.
The foreclosure clock
Pennsylvania is a judicial state — foreclosure works through the court to a sheriff’s sale and commonly takes six months to a year or more.
