Pittsburgh's housing market varies considerably by neighborhood, with meaningful differences in pricing, rents, inventory, and transaction activity across the city. September 2026 Pittsburgh market metrics show a median listing price of $265,000, a $289,950 median sold price, median rent of $1,495 per month, and a $185 median listing price per square foot.
A separate three-month measure recorded a $274,818 sale price through August 2026, up 8.2% from the comparable period a year earlier. Those citywide figures provide useful context, but neighborhood-level conditions can differ substantially, making local pricing, rental activity, and inventory important factors when comparing Pittsburgh's residential markets.

September 2026 citywide housing data show 3,640 active listings, 1,485 rental properties, a $289,950 median sold price, and a 56-day median time on market. These figures provide a citywide reference point for comparing the neighborhood markets below.

Lower-priced markets in this comparison include Carrick and Beechview. Current $149,950 pricing data for Carrick and the $154,500 median in Beechview both sit below Pittsburgh's $265,000 citywide median.
Middle price tiers include Mount Washington at $319,900, Bloomfield at $380,000, Upper Lawrenceville at $436,950, Central Lawrenceville at $439,900, and Squirrel Hill South at $450,000.

How mogul Approaches Real Estate Investing
mogul provides access to individual residential properties through a fractional real estate structure. Selected investments use property-specific LLCs, with the underlying property acquired through an LLC and ownership interests fractionalized within that entity.
Less than 1% of reviewed properties pass mogul's diligence process. Its current investment structure uses a general 3 to 10 year property holding period and includes proportional monthly dividends, governance rights, applicable tax reporting, and potential sale proceeds tied to ownership terms and property performance.
Current mogul Metrics
mogul's current company figures include:
The $110M asset figure is dated June 1, 2026, while the 50K+ users and 4.47% record monthly yield figures are dated September 28, 2026.
For property-level analysis, mogul provides an investment property calculator, a rental property calculator, and a real estate calculator that allow users to adjust property-specific assumptions.

Among the neighborhoods in this comparison, Carrick and Beechview have the lowest September 2026 median listing prices. Carrick pricing data show a $149,950 median listing price, while Beechview is at $154,500. Both sit below Pittsburgh's September citywide median of $265,000.
What is the median home price in Pittsburgh?
The figure depends on which market measure is being used. September 2026 listing price data show a $265,000 median listing price and a $289,950 median sold price, while a separate three-month measure recorded a $274,818 median sale price through August 2026. Listing and sold prices measure different parts of the housing market.
How do Lawrenceville's submarkets compare?
The three Lawrenceville submarkets show distinct pricing and rental benchmarks. Current data place Lower Lawrenceville at a $477,000 listing price and $2,040 median rent, Central Lawrenceville at $439,900 and $2,225, and Upper Lawrenceville at $436,950 and $2,037. Differences in prices, rents, inventory, and days on market make submarket-level data useful when comparing properties within Lawrenceville.
What rental regulations apply in Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh's rental registration program remains voluntary until further notice, with the city stating it will provide at least 30 days' notice before full enforcement begins. Council Bill 2026-0009 separately proposes adding short-term rental uses to the zoning code. As of late September 2026, the proposal remained under review.
How does fractional real estate investing work with mogul?
Under the fractional ownership structure, a selected property is purchased through an LLC and ownership in that LLC is divided into fractional interests. Current mogul materials describe a 3 to 10 year property-holding framework along with proportional monthly dividends, governance rights, applicable tax reporting, and proceeds from an eventual property sale based on the relevant ownership terms and property performance.
