While new listings have slowed a bit in almost ever area, except Cecil and Upper St. Clair (which saw a dramatic increase from April to May 2016), sold listings have seen a dramatic increase. Peters Township and Bethel Park saw the biggest jump in sold listings for relatively the same average sold price. Peters Township also saw a dramatic decrease in the number of days on the market as well. Cecil Township saw a big increase in both new and sold listings and a slight increase in average sold price from April to May 2016.
