Pittsburgh Is 5th Most Popular Market, Says Realtor.com
Pittsburgh was recently named the fifth most popular housing market by Realtor.com. To calculate popularity, Realtor.com looked at the cities with the highest levels of buying interest in the past year.
Unsurprisingly, homes in major cities like New York City and Miami attracted more interest online. However, larger cities typically have more homes for sale. Once the findings were adjusted and the market size was taken into account, more midsize cities (like Pittsburgh) came out on top.
At No. 5, Pittsburgh is the most popular housing market in the Northeast, and it remains a top destination for recent college graduates.
“Pittsburgh is an exceptional place to call home, offering the perfect blend of big-city amenities with a small-town feel,” says Realtors® Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh President David Onufer. “The city boasts affordable housing, with the median price for a single-family home at $259,900, making it accessible for many.”
“Pittsburgh’s diverse economy includes thriving finance and industry sectors, alongside significant growth in education, healthcare and technology, attracting professionals from various fields,” Onufer adds.
Looking to get outside and experience the City of Bridges for yourself? Look no further.
“Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the city’s three rivers, nearby state parks and the scenic Laurel Highlands,” Onufer assures. “The Cultural District adds to the city’s vibrancy with a world-renowned symphony orchestra, ballet company and a variety of year-round activities. Plus, Pittsburgh’s sports teams are second to none, adding to the city’s dynamic and community-driven atmosphere.”
