## Philadelphia County context

Philadelphia is a consolidated city-county, so every property here runs through the same offices. Pennsylvania is a judicial foreclosure state: the lender files in the Court of Common Pleas, and Philadelphia's First Judicial District runs a mortgage foreclosure diversion program of conciliation conferences before judgment and monthly sheriff's sales after it. Estate matters run through the Register of Wills, which issues letters, and the Orphans' Court, which supervises disputes; tangled-title and heirs properties are a signature Philadelphia file. The Department of Records records deeds, and Licenses and Inspections violations follow the property, not the person. InTym Properties pulls the city records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is unusually heavy here. Philadelphia's realty transfer tax totals 4.578% of the sale price, the city's 3.578% plus the commonwealth's 1%, customarily split between buyer and seller and among the highest big-city rates in the country. Delinquent city property taxes and municipal claims come due at closing. The city page below carries the median price, days on market, and trend for Philadelphia.

The city records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the Pennsylvania Department of State business registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the Department of Records, and a licensed Pennsylvania title company can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which parts of Philadelphia do you buy in?

Anywhere in the city and county, which are the same thing: Kensington to Southwest Philadelphia, Germantown to the Far Northeast. Email hello@intymproperties.com or call/text (650) 540-1854.

### How does foreclosure work in Philadelphia?

Pennsylvania foreclosure is judicial through the Court of Common Pleas, and Philadelphia's First Judicial District runs a diversion program of conciliation conferences before judgment. Sheriff's sales run monthly. You can sell any time before the sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the case.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Philadelphia?

The realty transfer tax totals 4.578% of the sale price, the city's 3.578% plus the commonwealth's 1%, customarily split between buyer and seller, plus title, recording, and any municipal claims. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is an estate or has a tangled title. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes when the Register of Wills issues letters and the Orphans' Court clears any disputes. Tangled-title files are routine in Philadelphia; your attorney sets the real timeline.

### How fast can you close in Philadelphia?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. A financed Philadelphia sale runs three to four months once you add days on market to attorney review and the lender's timeline; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
