Affordable Housing Developers in Philly Not Selling Affordable Housing

Affordable housing developers typically like to build on cleared-blocks and erect stretches of faux-colonials that resemble Pleasantville

This list of “Affordable Housing” is brought to you by the Multiple Listing Service.   I have highlighted the home sales and listings here which are deemed “affordable” (below $140K).

For a home priced at $133K and for someone with a 620 FICO score, the mortgage payment comes out to approximately $675 a month with an FHA loan, taxes and escrow.
