- ?? Showings Sluggish in 2025. Buyer activity remains slow in Philly Metro, with 22,885 showings for the week ending February 9th, down -18.2% from last year. Except for one brief uptick, 2025 has consistently seen the lowest showing levels in the past five years. Many buyers hesitate over rising list prices (+4.3% YoY) and mortgage rates. However, those buyers willing to jump in are finding deals in a less competitive market.
- ?? Homes Taking Longer to Go Under Contract. This week, the median time to contract hit 22 days on market, making 2025 the slowest for contract activity in five years. That’s +2 days longer than this time last year, reinforcing the affordability challenges many buyers face. With homes sitting longer, some sellers may need to start adjusting their expectations—and their prices.
- ??Active Listings Keep Rising. Philly Metro had 8,958 active listings this week, up +7.8% from the same week in 2024. As long as new listings outpace buyer demand, inventory is likely to keep climbing. Could this finally shift leverage back to buyers? The coming weeks will tell.
TLDR: Showing activity at 5 year low but those who act can find deals, Homes sitting longer, Inventory keeps climbing, Buyers gaining leverage.
This Eagles team is one of the greatest in NFL history.
Let’s put it into perspective:
- Howie Roseman has now built two championship teams in eight years. They did it with just four returning players—two of them specialists—from the 2017 title team. They did it with a different quarterback, a different head coach, and two first-year coordinators. One of the best-run organizations in sports. Howie is a Hall of Famer.
- Only 4 teams in NFL history have won both the Conference Championship & Super Bowl by 18+ points in the same postseason:
- Most combined points in a Conference Championship Game & Super Bowl: 2024 Eagles, with 95. Also tied for the most in any two-game span in NFL postseason history.
- Since the bye week, the Eagles are 16-1 with a +238 point margin and a +28 turnover margin. Nine double-digit wins. Five by 20+. Total domination.
- The Eagles just set the NFL postseason record for rushing yards, with 818. Their combined regular season and playoff total? 3,866 yards. Also, the most in NFL history.
- Only one team in NFL history has scored 35+ points in three straight Super Bowls: The Philadelphia Eagles.
- The last three head coaches the Eagles have defeated to win a championship? Vince Lombardi, Bill Belichick, and Andy Reid.
- NFL head coaches with a .700 career win percentage & a Super Bowl: Vince Lombardi, John Madden, and Nick Sirianni. That’s the list.
- Speaking of Sirianni, if he goes 6-11 and misses the playoffs for the next four years, he’ll still have as many wins, as many playoff appearances, as many Super Bowl appearances, and one more Super Bowl title in his first eight seasons than Kyle Shanahan has in his. Put some respect on his name.
- Jalen Hurts is now the most accurate passer in Super Bowl history. He’s completed 73.3% of his passes (min. 50 attempts) and joins Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes as the fourth quarterback in history to complete 70% of his passes in more than one Super Bowl. Decent company.
- Hurts is also the only player in NFL history with multiple 70-yard rushing games and a career 4.5 yards per carry or higher in Super Bowls.
- Jake Elliot is nails when it matters. He’s now 9-for-9 in his career on Super Bowl field goals, making him the most accurate kicker in Super Bowl history. His postseason career? 26-for-27 (96.3%). The greatest kicker in franchise history.
- DeVonta Smith has now scored a TD in the Super Bowl, National Championship, SEC Championship, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Iron Bowl. One of the most criminally underrated athletes today.
- Zack Baun’s playoffs:
- Saquon Barkley now holds the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season, including playoffs, with 2,504. Shout out the big men up front.
