The Pittsburgh area has its fair share of unique homes, and even those considered quirky by many buyers are sold depending on the location.
“If you have a really unique home in a very traditional area and someone is looking for something different, they might like this,” says Gina Giampietro, Real Estate Agent and Team Leader at RE / MAX Select Realty. “But it depends on where it is. If you have a unique house that has a lot of ‘cookie cutter’ going on, it can take a while to sell it. “
The tense market in the region seems to be opening up a bit, says Giampietro, but “there are still a lot of bidding battles when a house is priced right. … and we’re starting to see some discounts. I think we will level ourselves. “
Giampietro and her team have seen many overseas buyers in the past few months, especially investors paying cash, “but there is still a lot of local money and with interest rates this low it is definitely attractive for them to move.” until the next level. ”
