Come for the career move. Stay for a home at half the price.

📍 Boston: $1,083,577 avg. home price
📍 Philadelphia: $532,670 avg. home price

That price gap could mean a bigger down payment or a shorter mortgage. Or finally affording the home you truly want, instead of the one you can barely qualify for. Greater Philadelphia's average home price also runs about $4,073 below the national average.
