The Philadelphia metro area is in the top 10 metros with the oldest median homes sold in 2024, according to an analysis by the online real estate brokerage Redfin. Homes sold in the region were a median of 61 years old, built in 1963. Only 6% of homes sold last year were younger than five years old. About 78% were more than 30 years old. Nationwide, the typical home sold in 2024 hit a record age. But at 36, the national median was much lower than in the Philadelphia region.
