We’ve had really good feeling about this spring market, and now the numbers show it 🌷

May’s Word On The Street is here, and April’s numbers tell us this market is doing a lot more with a lot less than a year ago.

Here’s the spring market scoop:

▪️Center City & core luxury markets like Rittenhouse, Fitler, & Society Hill are leading the charge. 🏃‍♂️
▪️Closed volume up double digitis YoY 📈
▪️Median price up significantly 💰
▪️Homes are selling 2 weeks faster than they were last year ⏱️
▪️Inventory at one of the lowest April levels of the decade 📉

If you’ve thought about selling, this is the window. The audience is lined up, but the homes won’t sell themselves. In this market, it’s still all about pricing & presentation.

If you want “sold in 2 weeks” instead of sitting on the market, it starts with a DM or reaching out to your trusted On The Square agent.

Ready when you are 👌

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: mothers make the best real estate agents.

They approach real estate with a maternal intuition that effortlessly translates the property to the people and the life inside it. How a space supports the rhythms, routines, milestones, messes, celebrations, and small everyday moments that eventually become cherished memories.

They shepherd through seasons of change. The growing families. The downsizing after decades. The fresh starts. The bittersweet goodbyes to homes that held entire chapters of someone’s life.

Motherhood has a way of sharpening the ability to hold all of that with care.

Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who make a house feel lived in and the people inside it loved. 🖤

Philly is having a moment. And the numbers are backing it up. 🏙️

April’s Word on the Street just dropped — and Q1 told a story worth paying attention to:

- Volume up 15% over last year 📈
- Luxury sales? More than doubled 💥
- Inventory near a 10-year low heading into peak season 🔒
- New Yorkers picking Philly as their #1 relocation destination

This isn’t just a good market. It’s a turning point for the city.

And if you’re a seller right now? Fewer listings. More buyers. An absorption rate that’s accelerating by the month. The window is open — and spring is the busiest stretch of the year.

Walkable to everything, without the foot traffic outside your front door.

This refined & re-imagined Rittenhouse townhome is where privacy & access effortlessly co-exist. Located just a block behind Rittenhouse Square, 1923 Manning offers something hard to find in a single family home: proximity without exposure.

What you’d never expect from the exterior is how the home lives inside: five levels, 4000 square feet, layered, expansive, and designed to unfold as you move through it.

It’s a quieter way to live in the center of it all, for those who value discretion & design.
