Peters Township Real Estate Market Update As November 2011 comes to a close, I am curious to see how this November was going to shape up compared to last year.  I heard conflicting stories this month from top Real Estate Agents in Peters Township.  Some said the Peters Township Real Estate Market was flat compared to last year.  Some expert agents in Peters Township saw an increase in sales while others saw a slight decrease.  In a few days we will have the full market report as we enter December.  I figured it would be nice to review last year’s numbers in anticipation for this November.   Peters Township Real Estate – November 2010 in Review Median List Price of all Current Listings $434,000 Average List Price of all Current Listings $498,840 November Median Sales Price $345,750 Novem...

Buying a home is a big step in anyone’s life.  For most people, it is the biggest purchase they will make.  For many first time home buyers, it can be overwhelming. Some peace of mind for every buyer…especially first time home buyers in Pittsburgh It’s not an end all be all Guess what…if your lifestyle really changes in a few years or you need to move for work, don’t worry.  If you decide you don’t want a townhome anymore, you can buy a house.  If you don’t want a huge house anymore, you can buy a smaller one.   You are not stuck with that purchase forever.  In today’s world, people move way more than our parents.  It is a global economy and our jobs might require us to adjust.  This means you might not be in your first house for 50 years.  You might not even be in it for 5.  Who knows ...

October in review...Peters Township Real Estate This report includes homes for sale in McMurray & homes for sale in Venetia. When kids go back to school in September homes for sale in Peters Township may sit on the market a little longer than normal.  Couple the change in season with some bad weather in the mix and the market does slow down.  The great thing about Peters Township is that it is a great place to live, work and play so people are always moving into the School District.  One another aspect of Peters Township is its proximity to Allegheny County.  It is one of the areas that holds the low Washington County taxes but still has a great location. If you are looking for Peters Township homes for sale, check out the data from the local Pittsburgh MLS or contact an expert Real Est...

  Using a 100% USDA mortgage is a great way to finance the purchase of your next home in Washington County.  These are great loans for those who qualify and the USDA loan remains as one of the true no down payment programs out there.  If the home appraisal allows, the closing costs can also be wrapped into the mortgage resulting in no money needed at the closing table.  Interest rates for USDA mortgages are comparable to the low fixed rates of Conventional and FHA/VA financing. USDA mortgages are available for areas that meet USDA population limits.  Certain areas of Washington County are ineligible including : the city limits of Washington, PA, the areas around the Route 19 corridor from Canonsburg up to the Allegheny County line and most of Peters Township.  The rest of Washington Cou...
