The Pennsylvania Real Estate Market
Pennsylvania's housing market is anchored by Philadelphia (which has some of the country's most varied neighborhood dynamics), Pittsburgh (post-industrial revival, healthcare, tech), and smaller cities. Anthracite coal country in northeastern PA has been losing population for decades.
What Pennsylvania Sellers Need to Know
Pennsylvania uses judicial foreclosure with a typical timeline of about 270 days. Pennsylvania has a complex local property tax structure (school district, county, municipal).

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Pennsylvania
Will Keyheart buy a Philadelphia row house?
Yes. We buy Philadelphia row houses, twins, and other older PA housing including with lead paint, deferred maintenance, structural issues, and tenant complications.
How does Pennsylvania's inheritance tax work?
Pennsylvania has an inheritance tax: 0% to spouse, 4.5% to direct descendants (children, grandchildren) and parents, 12% to siblings, 15% to other heirs and non-relatives. Selling an inherited home doesn't trigger the tax directly, but the value is part of the taxable inherited assets.
How long does Pennsylvania foreclosure take?
Pennsylvania uses judicial foreclosure with a typical timeline of about 270 days. Keyheart can close on a Pennsylvania home in as little as 7 days, well before the sheriff's sale.
Do I owe Pennsylvania state capital gains tax when selling my home?
Pennsylvania taxes capital gains as regular income (3.07% flat rate). Pennsylvania does exclude gain from the sale of a primary residence if you meet ownership and use tests similar to the federal rules. Most homeowners selling their primary residence won't owe PA state capital gains tax.
