Philadelphia 19142 is in Philadelphia, PA, part of the Philadelphia Metro. The typical home value in Philadelphia 19142 is $138,805 (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026), up 0.7% from a year earlier. Homes that sold went under contract in a median 52 days, and 16% of listings took a price cut (Redfin Data Center, period ending Aug 31, 2026). On Lotvox's market-leverage reading of that data, with 7.1 months of supply, neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear edge. The Lotvox Turnover Index is not published for 19142 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 19142 sits 44% below the county middle. Typical rent is $1,444 a month (Zillow Observed Rent Index, August 2026). Lotvox holds county assessor records for 11,416 properties in 19142.

2026-08-31
Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-08-31. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. Source window 3 months (flows shown per month). months_of_supply is not published at this grain (0 non-null rows measured); derived here as active listings / closed sales per month. A fresher supply-only read (38 new, 129 active, 2026-09-01, Realtor.com inventory (county + ZIP), via Lotvox) is available but is NOT used in the net — that source publishes no closed sales, so subtracting across it would mix two vintages.

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.
