Talk about a weird scenario, for the month of April, Pittsburgh real estate sales continued to decline by 13.2% compared to last April while the median value of homes for sale in the 5-county region actually rose by 3.7% (annualized appreciation since 2000). Pittsburgh real estate data supplied by RealSTATs, a South-side based real estate information company.

What Do the Pittsburgh Real Estate Numbers Really Say?

Here is the reality, sales volume in all five counties — Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington and Westmoreland — continued to slow down based on year-over-year sales data. For Pittsburgh home sellers, that means accurately pricing your Washington County home is uber-important! Right now is a great time of year to get your curb appeal looking its absolute best. Take care of any nagging small repairs before another potential buyer and agent schedules an appointment to tour your Pittsburgh home.

How About Pittsburgh Real Estate Buyers?

Talk about selection, now Pittsburgh home buyers can be very choosy. For those buyers who are qualified, it’s possibly the very best time of year to buy particularly with schools starting back this fall. As you know, it will be here before you know it! So why not make it easier on your family and take advantage of the tremendous volume of homes currently on the market!
