Despite rising mortgage rates (reaching four percent for the first time in two years), home prices locally and nationally continue to soar. Stacker covered the rate’s trending status and its inability to pop the local real estate bubble.

Real estate platform ZeroDown put together a weekly real estate market report for Philadelphia using Redfin data for the four weeks ending January 30.

The median sales price in the Philadelphia metro area over that period was $251,738 — a 6.9 percent year-over-year increase. This puts the median sales price per square foot at $185, a ten percent increase compared with the same period last year. The sales-to-list price ratio was 0.98, the same as last year.

Meanwhile, 32.6 percent of homes sold with price drops in Philadelphia, which represented a 1.5 percent one-year increase.

There was a slight drop in the speed at which houses are sold, with 37.5 percent of inventory being off market in two weeks, compared with 38.6 percent last year.

Finally, the Philadelphia metro area has 11.1 months of supply, which is 0.9 months less than a year ago.
