Do you buy trinity houses?
Yes. Trinity houses (narrow 3-story homes) are part of South Philly's history and we've bought several. The small footprint can limit ARV, but we know the market.

We buy houses in South Philadelphia.
South Philly is full of rowhomes that have been in the same family for 2 or 3 generations. When it's time to sell — usually after a death, a move to assisted living, or a family wants to cash out — we make the process simple.
Where & What
About South Philadelphia
South Philly covers Passyunk Square, Pennsport, Point Breeze, Grays Ferry, Queen Village, Whitman, and a dozen other neighborhoods. The housing stock is mostly 19th century and early 20th century rowhomes, many narrow, many attached.
What makes South Philly unique is how long houses stay in the same family. Many of our South Philly sellers are 3rd or 4th generation owners of houses their great-grandparents bought for under $2,000 in the 1920s.
Housing Stock
What the houses look like
South Philly rowhomes are typically 2-story or 3-story brick rowhomes built 1880-1925. Widths range from 12 feet (trinity houses) to 16-18 feet (standard rowhomes). Typical sizes run 800 to 1,400 square feet, 2-3 bedrooms, 1 bath.
The multi-generational ownership means interior condition varies widely. Some houses have original finishes from 1950 and need everything updated. Others have been renovated 2-3 times. Repair budgets we've seen run $30,000 to $75,000.

Common seller situations in South Philadelphia
Most common South Philly pattern: the long-term owner dies, kids inherit, and the kids (now in their 50s-60s and often living in South Jersey or the suburbs) want to sell.
Second pattern: aging homeowner moves into assisted living, family needs to sell quickly to help cover costs.
Third pattern: divorce or family dispute where a fast, clean sale is worth more than the extra money a listing would bring.

South Philadelphia Questions
Questions we get about South Philadelphia
My family has owned the house on Morris Street for 80 years — what do we need to sell?
If the deed is clean and the current heirs are identified, we can close. If it's been through estates without probate (common in long-held South Philly houses), we may need you to get Letters of Administration first.
Do you buy in Point Breeze?
Yes. Point Breeze has seen a lot of change and we've closed houses there. ARVs have risen significantly in the last 10 years.
