QUALITATIVE QUOTES & BACKGROUND INFO

QUANTITATIVE STATISTICS

Although we're a frequent go-to source for contextualizing information about local housing trends, we do not collect, maintain, or report statistics about home sales, house values, etc. In Western Pennsylvania, there are two principal providers of this information:

• West Penn Multi-List, which tracks the transactions (listings, sales, closings) assisted by real estate agents in 13 Western Pennsylvania counties. Contact executive vice president Barbara Kohl at (412) 367-5860.
• RealStats, a private data company that tracks real estate sales based on deed transfers filed at five regional county courthouses. Contact company president Dan Murrer at (412) 381-3880.
