Pittsburgh homebuyers are scrolling online while they enjoy their morning coffee or in that quiet moment before bed. Dreams of a front porch, a cozy kitchen, a fenced backyard for your dog (or future dog). And they think, someday…
Someday can be this year!
2025 is a surprisingly smart time for Pittsburgh homebuyers to step into homeownership or move into the next right-sized home for them.
It is Normal to Feel Nervous
Buying your first home, upsizing, or downsizing your home, is a significant decision. It’s exciting, empowering, and, yes, a little intimidating. You may be worried about interest rates. Perhaps you are waiting for prices to come down, or you’re not sure you’re ready.
There is no perfect time. However, there is the right time for you. And 2025 is giving Pittsburgh homebuyers something we haven’t seen in a while: more choices.
More Homes Are Coming on the Market
After a few years of low inventory, Pittsburgh’s housing market is starting to breathe again. That means:
- You may not have to make a split-second decision.
- There are more homes available to fit your budget and wish list.
- You have more time to breathe and explore your options.
Neighborhoods around Pittsburgh’s suburbs are seeing new listings each week.
Low Rates Disappeared, But Home Prices Continue to Increase
If you’ve been watching, you’re aware that interest rates are higher than they were a few years ago. Unfortunately, you can’t go back in time to buy at those lower rates.
While the national market may be cooling slightly, Pittsburgh remains steady. In many regions of our real estate market, prices are still rising gradually. Buying now means getting in before the next climb and starting to build your equity (instead of paying your landlord’s mortgage for another year).
You Don’t Need to Know Everything, Just the Right People
You don’t have to do this alone. I’m not just a real estate agent, I’m a guide, coach, and your calm voice when the process begins to feel overwhelming. I have helped many Pittsburgh homebuyers find their version of “home,” whether it is a starter home in Ross Township or a patio home in Robinson Township.
Working in the Pittsburgh real estate market for over 22 years, I know the process inside and out, and I can help you:
- Determine the home price you can comfortably afford.
- Navigate the home inspection process.
- Make smart, confident decisions (no pressure sales here).
I have the privilege of working with some of the best lenders, inspectors, and closing attorneys in the city. Any recommendation I provide is someone I know, like and trust.

You don’t need to wait for the market to feel perfect. You just need to feel ready to start.
