Great News About The Pittsburgh Real Estate Market

If you haven't heard the news then let me be the first to tell you that Pittsburgh is "IN". That is according to the Washington Post's 2012 in and out list. And in Austin they even named us as one of America's next hipster cities. That really should come as no surprise, as a city we had a very good 2011, ranking us in the Top 5 markets in the country, according to MSN.

All this praise is thanks to our affordable housing, lower than average unemployment, great art scene, a diverse and growing employment base and a whole list of other reasons. A recent reportplaced Pittsburgh in the top echelon of cities that have already recovered the jobs lost during the recession, and projects overall growth by the end of the year.

The buying and selling season seems to have come a bit early this year, thanks in part to mild weather and super low interest rates. Inventory is low and nice homes, ready to move-in and priced right are getting snapped up. We have even started to see multiple offers come in on homes. That is great news for sellers who have been waiting for the market to pick up.
