However, the most popular homes move much faster, getting accepted offers in just 36 to 43 days. Our city is a large area with many different types of properties, which is why the overall average time to sell is a bit higher.

Peters Township: Consistent Selling Speeds and Low Inventory
In Peters Township, we are seeing a strong seller's market with very few homes available to buy. Because there are so few homes, sellers are willing to wait longer for the best possible offer, which affects how long homes sit on the market.

South Fayette: The Booming Growth Area
South Fayette has become one of our most popular and fast-growing real estate markets. The number of homes for sale has dropped sharply, making it tough for buyers but great for sellers who want to move quickly. Homes in South Fayette spend an average of 65 days on the market.
