The Upper St. Clair housing market showed higher prices but lighter volume in February. The median sale price was about $556K, a 23.5% increase from the same month last year. Homes sold in a median of 57 days, a markedly quicker pace than a year ago, suggesting steady buyer interest for well-priced properties.

Closed sales totaled seven for the month, compared with 10 last February. While transactions were lower, the shorter marketing times point to selective competition, particularly in move-in-ready homes.

Inventory and buyer activity

Active inventory remains relatively constrained compared with pre-2022 norms, keeping upward pressure on prices in desirable neighborhoods. Price per square foot has also trended higher year over year, reflecting demand for updated homes and larger layouts.

Regionally, broader Pennsylvania reports suggest a cautious but active spring market, with buyers sensitive to mortgage rates yet still moving forward when homes are well presented.

Rental check

The median rent across property types in Upper St. Clair is about $1,052 as of March, with roughly 48 listings on the market. Rents are reported flat year over year, offering some stability for tenants weighing renting versus buying this season.
