Sell Your Mayfair Home

Updated October 2026 · By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team · Market figures from Bright MLS, Mayfair neighborhood, April through September 2026

Mayfair always has plenty of rows on the market, which means your home is never the only one buyers are looking at. Half of the Mayfair homes that sold from April through September 2026 went under contract within 16 days, and the average home sold for 98.0% of its list price (Bright MLS). The McKnight Team lists and sells homes across Philadelphia and its suburbs. This page covers what the market looks like, what your options are, and how we would sell your home.

How Fast Do Homes Sell in Mayfair?

Fast, when they are priced right. The median Mayfair home went under contract in 16 days from April through September 2026. The average was 37 days.

By type, rowhomes went under contract in a median of 15 days at 98.1% of list, and end of row homes in 20 days at 97.4%. Our guide on how long it takes to sell a house covers the full timeline.

Should You Sell to a “We Buy Houses” Company in Mayfair?

Mayfair homeowners get a steady stream of cash offer mail, texts and calls. Some of those companies are solid. All of them work the same way: they buy low enough to cover repairs, holding costs, and a profit on resale.

That can be worth it for a home that needs major work, an estate on a deadline, or a seller who wants no showings. It is harder to justify when 33 of the 143 Mayfair homes sold from April through September 2026 closed above their list price.

Our advice: if you get a cash offer, ask us for a market value on the same home. Put the two side by side before you sign. We will help you compare them, even if you end up taking the cash offer.

How We Sell a Mayfair Home

Pricing comes first. With dozens of similar rows on the market, a few thousand dollars and a few updates decide which one buyers choose. We price against the Mayfair rows that sold and the ones you are competing with today.

Next, we make your row the easy choice. A clean basement, a working garage door and fresh paint matter here. Then professional photos and a launch date picked for when buyers are touring.

Josh and Jenn McKnight personally run sales, with the help of our agents and in-house transaction staff. You will know who is on your file from day one.
