The crisp fall air in Westmoreland County isn’t just great for pumpkin patches—it’s also a smart time to buy a home. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade before the holidays, fall offers unique advantages for savvy buyers.


📉 Seasonal Advantage: Lower Competition

Summer is peak season—but by fall, competition drops off. Fewer bidding wars mean:

  • More room to negotiate

  • Motivated sellers open to concessions

  • Less pressure to overpay


💲 Current Home Prices (September 2025 Snapshot)

  • Westmoreland County Avg: $231,000

  • Greensburg: $248,000

  • Irwin: $259,000

  • Latrobe: $210,000

  • Murrysville: $387,000

📊 Good news: Prices have stabilized, and many homes are priced to move before year-end.


🍁 Local Tip: Fall Listings Are Often Serious Sellers

Homeowners listing in fall usually have a need to sell—relocation, job changes, or downsizing before winter. That can translate to better deals or seller-paid closing costs.


🔍 Buyer FAQs

Q: Are there fewer homes available in fall?
Inventory does dip slightly, but quality listings are still active—especially in Irwin, Hempfield Township, and North Huntingdon.

Yes! With pre-approval and a motivated team (👋), you can close in as little as 30–45 days.
