Philadelphia ARV Calculator

Estimate after-repair value for any Philadelphia property using comparable sales from city transfer records. No signup required.

Estimate after-repair value for any Philadelphia property using filtered comparable sales, OPA-linked square footage, and conservative / base / aggressive ARV bands.

What ARV actually means in Philadelphia

After-Repair Value (ARV) is the price a property is expected to sell for once renovations are complete. For Philadelphia investors, that number drives the maximum allowable offer (MAO), the lender draw schedule, and the exit plan. Get ARV wrong by ten percent and a thin flip turns into a loss.

PhillyCompPro calculates ARV from recorded arms-length sales of comparable, post-renovation Philadelphia properties — not from list prices, not from algorithmic guesses. The output is a band, not a single number: conservative, base, and aggressive, each anchored to specific comps you can click through to verify on the city record.

How the calculator works

Enter any Philadelphia address. The tool pulls the subject parcel from OPA, finds qualifying recorded sales within a quarter mile and twelve months by default, filters out distressed and nominal transfers, and computes a median price-per-square-foot. Multiply that figure by the subject square footage and you get the base ARV. The conservative band uses the 25th-percentile $/sqft; the aggressive band uses the 75th-percentile.

For investor workflows, the calculator also surfaces MAO at common 70%, 75%, and 80% ratios so wholesalers and flippers can move from ARV → max offer in one screen.

When to trust the number — and when to walk the block

Recorded-data ARV is most reliable in neighborhoods with high arms-length transaction volume and homogenous housing stock. Where the comp count is thin or stock is mixed, PhillyCompPro shows a low-confidence flag and recommends a manual review. ARV is a starting point for diligence, not a substitute for walking the block, talking to local agents, and pulling a contractor on site.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ARV calculator free?

Yes — running an ARV estimate for any Philadelphia property is free, with no signup or credit card required.

How is ARV different from the appraised value?

ARV is the projected market value after planned renovations are complete. Appraised value (on a refinance) reflects the property as-is on the day of the appraisal. Investors use ARV to size the deal; lenders use the appraisal to fund it.

What if there are not enough Philadelphia comps?

The calculator flags low-confidence ARVs when the comp set is thin and recommends widening the radius or time window, or pulling a manual review.
