Inside Look: Three new Philly listings we love

When it comes to real estate, the early bird is often already too late.

In the last year, properties in Philadelphia are staying on the market for only about four months, according to data retrieved from Zillow. Compared to the national average, houses in Philly are selling quickly, and the market is about as hot as last weekend’s temperatures. With competition and rising home prices in practically every corner of the city, it’s time to act fast.

We scoured this month’s latest listings so you don’t have to, and bring you the five new spots we’re swooning over:
