We have some great news to share. Pittsburgh topped Realtor.com's list of the Top 10 Cities Where Downtown Is Making a Comeback!

What does this good news mean for the Pittsburgh real estate market? The author of the article, Yuqing Pan, reports that "Such revivals boost property values to new heights and bring in some much-needed tourism dollars."

​The data team for the study considered several factors in the 200 largest U.S. cities. Some of the factors considered were downtown residential population growth since 2012, number of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and food trucks per capita, number of jobs per capita, and growth since 2012. 

The article also went on to explain that Urban Land Institute calls these 10 downtowns "18-hour markets," which means they're a mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment that "generate excitement deep into the night."

Pan reported that Pittsburgh's median home price in downtown is $353,000, which is a 31% growth since 2012. The population growth downtown was reported at 31%. 

Financial services worker Michael Zhong, who was quoted in Pan's article noted that "downtown was just a place where people worked," and said that "now more people stay, eat, drink, and hang out."

Due to the fact that Pittsburgh boasts a variety of cultural events, eateries, public art, and business opportunities, more and more people are flocking to the area.
