Pittsburgh's homes are really old
The median home bought in Pittsburgh in 2024 was 68 years old, according to a new Redfin report. Why it matters: We've got the second-oldest housing stock in the nation, ranking behind only Buffalo, with over 81% of homes sold last year at least 30 years old. Zoom in: Just 4.5% of homes sold in the Pittsburgh area last year were built between 2019 and 2024, among the lowest percentages in the nation. The big picture: A major construction slowdown "has fast-tracked the aging of America's housing stock," per Redfin. The median U.S. home bought last year was 36 years old — the oldest since at least 2012. Reality check: It's not that most buyers want older houses, which often come with dated infrastructure and higher upkeep. The U.S. hasn't built enough new ones, experts say. Just 9% of homes were built in the 2010s, after the global financial crisis — the smallest share for any decade since the 1940s, per Redfin. State of play: Older homes tend to be cheaper, and Pittsburghers needed only about 25% of their median household income to afford a median-priced home last year, the lowest of any U.S. metro area and below Redfin's benchmark of 30%. Yes, but: Our old homes come with plenty of costs not included in the initial purchase. 8.2% of homes here have structural damage, inadequate insulation and faulty wiring, according to a 2022 study from Porch, forcing owners to pay for costly upgrades and repairs.
