As we move into spring, the real estate market across Westmoreland County, PA is gaining momentum. March is historically when buyer activity increases — and 2026 is no exception.

If you're thinking about buying or selling in Greensburg, North Huntingdon, Hempfield Township, Murrysville, Latrobe, or Ligonier, here’s what you need to know.


What’s Happening in the Westmoreland County Housing Market?

We’re currently seeing:

  • Increased showing activity

  • More “Coming Soon” listings

  • Serious, pre-approved buyers entering the market

  • Sellers preparing homes for spring

Inventory remains tighter in highly desirable areas, especially within:

  • Hempfield Area School District

  • Norwin School District

  • Franklin Regional School District

  • Ligonier Valley School District

Homes priced correctly — particularly in the $200,000–$400,000 range — are moving quickly.


Are Home Prices Dropping in Westmoreland County?

No major price corrections are occurring locally.

While appreciation has leveled compared to peak pandemic years, home values remain steady because:

  • Westmoreland County offers affordability compared to Allegheny County

  • Many Pittsburgh commuters prefer suburban space

  • Demand for move-in-ready homes remains strong

Well-maintained homes in Murrysville, North Huntingdon, and Hempfield Township are still commanding competitive offers.


Is March a Good Time to Sell in Westmoreland County?

Yes — and here’s why:

  • Less listing competition than April and May

  • Motivated buyers looking to close before summer

  • Ideal weather for showings and curb appeal

If you’re considering selling in Westmoreland County, early preparation gives you a strategic advantage before peak spring inventory hits.
