If your house is listed at the high end of the pricing range and it hasn't sold, never fear--it could sell soon. According to an article in today's Post-Gazette, appreciation last month in the region topped fifteen percent. Sales, however were down. Is there a mass rush to buy property in Pittsburgh? There's some of that, but I suspect because of a tightening by lenders means the median price may be up because the middle and upper range houses are selling faster than those on the lower end of the price range. This reminds me of a cartoon I saw on a placemat in an East German restaurant in San Francisco. A girl sat slouched on a rock under sunshine and surrounded by flowers thinking about how to mentally make sunshine and flowers a bad thing. Yes folks, fifteen percent appreciation can't be all or even half bad.
