Philadelphia 19138 is in Philadelphia, PA, part of the Philadelphia Metro. The typical home value in Philadelphia 19138 is $177,159 (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026), up 1.4% from a year earlier. Homes that sold went under contract in a median 47 days, and 23% of listings took a price cut (Redfin Data Center, period ending Aug 31, 2026). On Lotvox's market-leverage reading of that data, with 4.3 months of supply, neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear edge. The Lotvox Turnover Index is not published for 19138 yet: it appears only where a held-out test on the county's recorded sales beats chance. Across Philadelphia's 46 ZIPs with a Zillow value, the middle one is $249,095, so 19138 sits 29% below the county middle. Typical rent is $1,579 a month (Zillow Observed Rent Index, August 2026).

Price Bands — the median behind the median

A single median rises whenever expensive homes become a bigger share of what sells, even if no tier got more expensive. These are the tiers underneath it, computed from the most recent recorded sale per property in Philadelphia.

No mix-shift history for this area. no geography from this ZIP up to metro has 8+ quarters of 10+ recorded arms-length sales across at least 4 price tiers. Trends are drawn only from recorded transactions; the last-sale snapshot above cannot carry a time series, because a property that sold twice keeps only its latest sale — which drags the history upward through the tiers and would invent the very mix shift this section exists to test for.
