Downtown (Pittsburgh, PA)

One place to find a house buyer is on the internet. A quick search brings up hundreds of companies, all competing with each other to purchase your property. A few of these claim to buy your home for up to 90% more than their rivals will pay. Unfortunately, this isn’t likely to happen. Quite simply, it’s a marketing ploy used in the hope of attracting more business. However, in reality the final offer will be more or less the same as any other house buyer will give.The vast majority of people who sell their home to a house buyer will receive 75-80% of the market value. Choose a house buyer who is honest about this from the outset and doesn’t use wild advertising claims that cannot be met. Dealing with a reputable company you can trust is important, even more so for sellers wishing to car...

In an otherwise glum story from Fortune Magazine on the 2010 Housing Outlook there is this amazing quote...

More good news for Pittsburgh. Forbes Magazine ranked us #22 out of the top 100 largest American cities for Best Bang-For-The-Buck. A solid housing market, relatively stable employment picture, low cost of living and quick commutes were among the factors that were considered by the magazine. Pittsburgh scored high marks for Housing Affordability (#17), Home Price Forecast (#6), Foreclosure Rank (#14) and Unemployment rank (#24). We didn't do so well in Real Estate Taxes Rank (#79) and Home Vacancy Rates (#84). You can read the entire study here. Now is a great time to buy a home in Pittsburgh!

There's an old joke here in Pittsburgh that when the world ends we'll still have 7 years left. I've even heard people talk about how the recession really hasn't hit Pittsburgh yet. I don't agree. In my opinion, Pittsburgh has been able to weather the downturn because it is a stable, down-to-earth city that already went through the bad times. It was able to diversify it's economy and attract new investment. Like the rest of the country we saw a decline in home prices but nothing like the huge drops that were happening in other areas, just a few percentage points. Even better, last week's report showed gains over a year ago. Then we get some really good news, According to Forbes Magazine, Pittsburgh is one of the cities leading the country out of the recession. As the 4th Fastest-Recoveri...
