Today we break down the Philadelphia rental market for August 2025. The median listed rent was $1,850 while the median closed rent came in at $1,821, with properties taking about 48 days to rent. In Northeast Philly, zip code 19136 showed a gap between listed and closed rents, while 19149 had slightly stronger results, both averaging 33 days on market.
 We also look at the national housing picture, where increased multifamily construction is balancing the market and creating more competition for older properties. For landlords, this means it’s more important than ever to price realistically using real MLS data, focus on tenant experience with clean and well-maintained units, and stay informed on neighborhood trends and legislation.
