Some highlights from our Mid-June market report, via Altos Research.  Conditions continue to favor sellers. Demand for homes in Philadelphia remains strong.  Available supply is purchased rapidly, with Philadelphia properties currently averaging a mere 4 months on the market.

However, median price has increased from $189,000 to $192,500 in the past two weeks. We’ll see by early August if a few expensive properties skewed the average, of if prices are beginning to trend upwards.  Only time will tell.

The April issue of Philadelphia Magazine featured an article about the “hottest new neighborhoods” in Philadelphia. I would not characterize these neighborhoods as new, because they are quite established, but anyhoo… My list of the top neighborhoods for 2013 can be found here http://www.centercityrealestate.com/the-top-philadelphia-neighborhoods-to-invest-in-2013-part-1-of-5/

Graduate Hospital

The Graduate Hospital neighborhood of Philly offers convenience and lovely two and three-story Philadelphia townhouses. Known as G-Ho by the locals, Graduate Hospital has it all – clean streets, plenty of restaurant and nightlife opportunities and city living at its best. According to the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, this area is the home of more artists than anywhere in the city. If you’re the creative type, G-Ho could be the ideal new home for you!

Fairmount

Philly’s Fairmount neighborhood offers gorgeous parks, affordable homes and suburb charm. Residents have immediate access to Fairmount Park, river-views and tons of yummy restaurant choices. Whether you’re a young professional or part of a young family, Fairmount has something for you!

Northern Liberties

The city’s Northern Liberties neighborhood, known as NoLibs for short, has seen plenty of gentrification over the last few years. Funky galleries, plenty of restaurants, an exclusive pool, and quick access to Center City are just a couple of the draws to this charming neighborhood.

Rittenhouse

The Rittenhouse neighborhood has always been a coveted area in Philadelphia, but with the recent boom of limited space in University City, more people are turning their eyes to this Center City zip code. With safe streets, beautiful brownstones and access to everything Philly has to offer, Rittenhouse definitely has great attributes!

The Philadelphia area as well as many places throughout the United States will be contributing to this years national weekend of Open Houses.  Falling on the 21st and 22nd of April this year gives many potential home buyers the opportunity to come in first hand and really see what kind of  homes are on the market. According to NAR (National Association of Realtors), in 2012 they found that 45 percent of all buyers used open houses as a source when making their final home decision. That’s a pretty impressive number living in the internet era where properties are available at your fingertips. That being said whether your looking to buy/sell, just starting, or well into the process, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to hit your favorite Philadelphia  neighborhood!

Rounding off the end of February 2013, shows again the Philadelphia real estate market looking strong. According to the Altos market update, both price and inventory levels are beginning to even off. This indicates a great time to watch the market’s activity which will help identify key times for price changes.  For a full overview on Philadelphia’s real estate market as of February 25, 2013 please visit our market update report.

Antonio Atacan was quoted in Philly.com for his opposition not to the AVI, but on the extreme property tax hike resulting from it that will be effecting almost 350,ooo Philadelphia Home Owners : http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/U-TURN/How-real-estate-pros-view-AVI-.html.

He suggests that the tax hike be capped, where no singe person’s taxes could increase more than say 10-20%.

The City Controller’s Office (Image) released a statement showing that there were 343,191 LOSERS hurt by this tax increase.

If Philadelphia elected officials can still collect 100s of $1,000 in DROP just not to run for reelection, how is it fair to take to create new taxes for the already over-taxed Philadelphians who chose this city to buy their home???

If you personally had an extreme tax hike, please go to http://www.phila.gov/OPA/Assessments/Pages/Appeals.aspx

to request a 1st level review. This must be requested by March 31st!

Also please contact the MAYOR and your COUNCIL MEMBER and say CAP the TAX!

The non-profit research group The Pew Charitable Trusts reports that no other city in recent years has made such significant tax changes ALL at one time, and if there was an overhaul it was due to state mandates or court orders. The Actual Value Initiative (AVI) if adopted in Philadelphia has the goal of taxing all properties at (the city’s perception) of market value.  The attached image indicates the city’s proposed dates for implementation.

1) change the certified market value of every piece of property,

2) alter the way individual assessments are used to calculate tax bills; and

3)reduce the types of tax relief available to property owners. There is no cap on how high the city can increase your taxes.

The report, The Actual Value Initiative: Overhauling Property Taxes in Philadelphia, examines how the city’s property tax assessment system evolved and how other cities have dealt with this situation. It also analyzes the current city proposals designed to mitigate the big spikes in property taxes that will effect many residents.

The main reason why property assessments in Philadelphia have gotten so far out of line with market values is that the  Pennsylvania has not regulated the assessment system. According to the report, Pennsylvania is 1 of only 9 states that impose no reassessment timetables or standard assessment methods on local governments and is 1 of just 3 states to receive a grade of F in “standardized procedures” from the Council on State Taxation, a Washington-based trade group. Moreover, according to the city’s chief assessment officer, Richie McKeithen, Philadelphia has never had a thorough citywide field inspection of every property and its characteristics, until now…

SO ITS NO WONDER WHY EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE CONCERNED. Now is the time to write your councilman, congressman and neighborhood civic association.

We love when we see abandoned warehouses or factories turned into beautiful new things. Whether it’s an old beer distillery transformed into Philadelphia luxury condos, or North Philadelphia’s Divine Lorraine Hotel converted into Philadelphia apartments and Philadelphia lofts, seeing the old revamped into the new and modern helps to make Philadelphia a more beautiful place to live.

That’s why we immediately perked up when we learned that an old FedEx warehouse located on the corner of Spring Garden and 9^th Street in Fishtown is the new home of Love City Roller Derby.

The co-ed bank track team, sister league of South Jersey Derby Girls, have converted the old building into a fabulous new arena aptly called Derby Ink Gardens. The facility is rumored to get a liquor license, tattoo shop and even a skate park inside the massive 30,000 sq.ft. arena. Onsite 100-car parking lot with valet parking is also available.

The league is hosting tryouts on November 30^th and December 1^st.
