Philadelphia’s emergence as a destination for luxury real estate is much discussed these days. And while national headlines focus on the troubles in suburban sprawl markets, Philadelphia’s finest urban markets have been picking up speed. Spotlighting the 19106 zip code encompassing Society Hill and Old City, the past six months have seen astounding activity in the $1million+ segment. Nineteen homes, or approximately three per month, sold in that price segment between 8/28/2007 and 2/28/2008.

Notable transactions include a finely preserved home once home to James Madison at 429 Spruce for $1,925,000. 108 Arch, a premium three-year old modern building say the sale of a stunning river-view penthouse with a 1550 sq ft terrace for $2,400,000 and a large tenth-floor unit for $1,680,000. Boutique condo sales were a strong trend generally. The stunning tenth floor of 101 Walnut, complete with white terrazzo floors throughout, sold for $2,475,000. The less exotic seventh floor sold for $1,905,000.

The Ayer, located in landmark George Howe structure overlooking Washington Square, saw three premium sales at record prices. A city-view 2164 sq ft eleventh-floor unit sold for $2,300,000 or a stunning $1063/sq ft for a non-penthouse unit east of broad. A park-view 1,724 sq ft twelfth-floor unit sold for $1,950,000 $1,131/sq ft and four floors down a similar 1,685 sq ft unit sold for $1,720,000 or $1021/sq ft.

Rounding up condo sales, a more basic 3,000 sq ft penthouse loft at 214 St new street sold for $1,350,000 or $450/ft and a 2,597 sq ft second-floor three bedroom at the Moravian (143 s 2nd st) sold for $1,050,000 or a relatively bargain-priced $404/sq ft for a large newer unit in a premium location.

In town homes, two IM Pei homes at Bingham Court sold for $1,100,000 and 1,200,000. A nearby contemporary at 315 S Philip St sold for $1,140,000. Two less remarkable historic homes on lovely blocks at 224 Delancey and 415 Pine sold for $1,100,000 and $1,250,000. 500 Spruce represented the best bargain purchase, offering 5,000 sq ft and parking for $1,200,000. At $240/sq ft, that price is on par with shell values.

On the high end, the 200-block of 4th St presented the highest-dollar sale. 259 S 4th St, a lovingly restored 4,480 sq ft historic home with modern conveniences, sold for $2,575,000. A large new-construction unit at Liberty Court at 212 Gaskill St sold at $1,880,000.
