Your Greater Pittsburgh Real Estate Market Report
How Prices & Sales Are Trending
HERE IT IS!?!- Less homes selling, for about 3% more $$ on average & taking a couple days longer to sell. Comparing our current numbers to the Avg sales price 3 years ago as covid shutdowns were slowing some in September 2020 that came in at $234,158 this shows 13% increase of sales price from 2020 to now. Let's go back and compare 3 years prior, September 2017 average of $188,478 to 2020 numbers and we get about 20% increase in similar time frame. The math shows real estate is about a 5% appreciation in the Greater Pittsburgh Markets over the last 6 years. Seems like a winner to me.
We are in the Fall real estate market with lower than normal inventory of homes available. October can be a busy real estate time to get a home on the market. However there are often a few less buyers wanting to make moves. Would you consider, who looks at homes this time of year? Answer = SERIOUS BUYERS!! Who do you want to sell too? Answer = SERIOUS BUYERS!! You also need to be presenting a good marketable home and make a great first impression to maximize your return. You can check out my list of Tips to Prepare Your Home now.
Good information to know, in the last 7 days we have had 631 new listings enter the market and 792 go under contract. Inventories have risen compared to last year however there is still a need for good homes to come on the market. There is a premium on the most attractive homes on market and multiple offers, YES, multiple offers coming in. It does seem to shift a little back and forth between being a buyers market and a sellers market. It makes sense a buyers market is LOOMING out there somewhere very soon. Time will tell.
Pricing homes right now is so important. You have to use a strategy, not just post a high price and hope you get it. Those homes are just dropping their prices or sitting on the market. Buyers & Sellers are not negotiating the average list price to sale price all that much, for September 97.99% changing a little from 98.52% in August. We are going to see continued shifting in the market over the next 6-10 months.
Currently, there are 3522 homes under contract slated to close in the next 2-6 weeks. With 151 properties that went under contract in the last 24 hours.
