The metro also reports a strong 10.2% weekly absorption rate the highest among key metros reviewed and a 4.4% year-over-year price gain, signaling healthy and sustainable appreciation."
Pittsburgh posts a 35.5 Market Action Index (MAI), placing the market in seller-leaning territory with just 2.5 months of inventory. MAI is a proprietary measure of market heat that ranges from 0 to 100 and gauges the balance between supply and demand. The metro records a 10.2% weekly absorption rate—the highest among key metros reviewed—and a 4.4% year-over-year price gain, signaling healthy, sustainable appreciation.
