“It was great working with Dave again to purchase our new home! We worked with Dave 8 years ago when buying our first home, and from that experience knew we would reach out again when we were ready to buy another and sell our current. Exactly like last time, Dave was easy to work with, communicates everything, treats you like family, and looks out for you. Both the buying and selling process were easy as could be for my family thanks to Dave. If we are looking to buy or sell again, I know who I will be calling! I recommend you do too!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year over year, South Oakland’s rolling three-month numbers show prices holding fairly steady while activity has cooled. The typical home value is up only slightly, rising about 2 percent from a year ago, while homes sold, new listings, and pending sales are all down more than 40 to 50 percent.
In the most recent rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, buyers are seeing more room to choose, but still not a rush of options. Months of supply has climbed to about 7 months, nearly doubling from last year, yet active listings are actually down by nearly a third over the same span.
Homes that do hit the market are moving much faster than a year ago, with the median days on market dropping from around a month and a half to less than two weeks, and roughly 80 percent going off market within two weeks. With only about 20 percent of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 98 percent, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these nuanced conditions and can help them navigate their next move.

“Christine was very helpful in finding a home. during the search process she was diligent in sending new listings and at tours could quickly answer questions relating to the homes. Was on top of all purchase steps and was helpful in coordinating pre purchase home repairs and inspections”
“Abigail was exceptional helping us to buy our dream home. She was very responsive, knowledgeable and helped us to come up with an offer that ended up being accepted even though it was lower than some of the five other offers the seller received. She then helped us sell our old house within a little over a month. Again, she was on top of all of the negotiations and went out of way to make sure everything went smoothly. She is a gem!”
“Jaton Hopkins was absolutely amazing throughout my home buying journey! He was professional, very knowledgeable, patient, and always supportive of my decisions. He never pressured me and was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. I truly appreciate everything he did to help me get into my new home. I highly recommend Jaton Hopkins!”
“It was a pleasure working with Robin. She was very professional, kind, and very knowledgeable She got back with us promptly with answers to all our questions We highly recommend working with her.”
“You're in great hands with Pam as your realtor. Pam found us the perfect patio home and helped us sell our house of 40 years with her expertise knowledge and confidence. She guided us every step of the process with her professionalism, quick response time and answered or found out the answer to all our questions. She made sure she booked the first showing of places in a highly competitive demanding market - patio homes for us baby boomers. We had a few hiccups along the way and Pam reassured us we would find a place and it would all work out. I would highly, positively, absolutely, 100% recommend Pam Simmons to family, friends or anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Emily is thoughtful, detailed, and attentive. She knows the area, the market, and the fears of sellers, lol. With her help, our house sold at a competitive price. We felt taken care of through this experience and she made it easy. Aside from being an amazing professional, she's a really awesome human.”
“Natalie made everything from touring properties to closing incredibly easy. We were first time buyers, and she was always available to answer our millions of questions, any time of day.”
“Working with Teah was honestly such a great experience. She was super easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, and made the whole process way less stressful than I expected. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for and was always patient and helpful, no matter how many questions I had. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. She also did an amazing job guiding me through everything and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I’d definitely recommend Teah to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
“I've dealt with numerous realtors, but for this transaction in Pittsburgh, I was nervous. Being out of town and with the property having been used by my son and his friends during school, I wasn't sure of the condition or how much work it needed. I researched the best agents online and narrowed it down to Lisa. Even then, I wasn't sure since we’d never met in person, but I wasn't planning on flying out and was hoping for the best. This lady gets things done. She is pleasant and articulate, but more importantly, she knows the contract, has her own contractors for repairs, and knows exactly how to prep for a photoshoot and a successful open house. She is a great negotiator who never tries to sway you just to get a quick sale, she respects your opinion and delivers results. She also does the "little things" without even mentioning them, I only found out through my son that she was personally scrubbing the sink before the photoshoot to make the kitchen sparkle. When issues come up mid transaction, she resolves them. I had a scare right before closing with a midnight security alert. I called the police for a sweep and alerted Lisa around 1 am, she was out there the next morning with the police to do an inside check and make sure everything was good. If I had another property in Pittsburgh, I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Scott made the whole process simple, easy to understand, and as painless as possible. He walked us through each step and graciously dealt with the inevitable issues that came up.”
“Ed sold our house for more than we wanted very which! Thank you, Ed!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Max Wilson as our real estate agent. From start to finish, Max was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He guided us through every step of the process with patience and expertise. What really stood out was Max’s attention to detail and dedication—he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, whether it was scheduling showings, answering our many questions, or negotiating on our behalf. We always felt like we were in great hands. Buying a home can be stressful, but Max made the entire experience feel seamless and even enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking real estate agent.”
“Susan did an amazing job from start to finish. Any information that she gave us was on the mark. Any advice on what we should have fixed or evaluated, or what we needed to improve the curb appeal, has helped us sell the home faster. You can ask her any question, and she'll have the answer. Not just any answer, the answer from years of selling experience. She had an extensive knowledge of the area and its surrounding communities. I would highly recommend Susan as your choice when it comes to buying or selling your home.”
“Steve was awesome!! He went above and beyond to get my house sold in the worst of winters we had this year. The best was he closed my deal on his honeymoon!!!!!!!!”
“The real estate agent assigned by Agent Pronto was hard working, experienced, and quick to give sound advice and to make herself available to my erratic schedule. I would give Sarah Orbin the highest of recommendations.”
“Nicole was the redeeming part of my first home buying experience. She was super helpful and communicative. Really honest and observant when we looked at properties. Advocated for us during the negotiation process and absorbed a lot of the bureaucratic back end stuff to shield my neurotic brain. She answered every question I had and never made me feel foolish for asking. She was timely with communication, paperwork, and updates. I'm not exaggerating when I say I might have given up on the process if it weren't for Nicole's help, guidance, and positive spirit. She's a gem in a business where people don't always act above board or in good faith. I'm incredibly grateful to have had Nicole's help in my home buying journey.”
“Joan is hands down the best! Last spring/summer we were looking for a home to buy and as one we were interested popped up we randomly used the Zillow contact a realtor feature which put us in touch with Joan. The house we were interested in shortly went off the market prior to us actually meeting Joan but little did we know that random connection would develop into something special a few months later. In June, we found another house we were very interested in and decided to reach out to Joan for assistance. Once we met Joan at the house and decided this was the house for us we never looked back and the random message through Zillow turned into an amazing experience with our first time home buying process. Joan will move heaven and earth to make sure the process is a simple and easy as possible for you when buying. She genuinely cared and made us feel like it wasn't the buy/sell business relationship you'd expect, instead she made us feel like she would do whatever it took to make us happy and we deserved the home we wanted. She's simply the best and we can't say enough good things about her. Willing to go above and beyond, even after we received our keys and business is done she still responds to us when ever we reach out with genuine care and great friendliness. Joan, thank you for being our realtor and thank you for how you operate. You have passion, care, and truly are just a fantastic human being!”
“Summer was great. Patient, well informed, and put in alot of effort and time to successfully deal with a difficult transaction. She constantly offered good advice and guidance, and did an exceptional job representing me throughout the deal.”
“Nick is a GREAT realtor! We have used Nick as our realtor for several homes purchases and home sales and highly recommended him to anyone wanting to work with the best!! Nick's knowledge of the real estate market and attention to detail resulted in a flawless home sale. Many thanks to Nick!!”
