Newsletter Delay
I’m sorry that I have been late in getting out the fall newsletter of Picturing Pittsburgh. The good news is that the reason for the delay is that I’ve been very busy selling homes! For those of you considering a move to Squirrel Hill or a transition from renter to owner, you must check out [...]

Hi everyone! I will not be blogging this week because if all goes well I will be sending out my fall e-newsletter. I received great feedback on my summer newsletter and hopefully you all will enjoy this one as well. If you are not on my newsletter subscription list but would like to be, just [...]
Lantern Tour
I must admit I had never heard about Depreciation Lands Museum until I began researching family fun activities for this weekend. But it looks like a neat place. It’s a living history museum located in Allison Park featuring costumed demonstrators every Sunday afternoon. The museum site includes the Pine Creek Covenanter Church, built in 1837, [...]
How Low Will It Go?
As we all now know, mortgage rates are staggeringly low, below 4.5%. It is hard to imagine that the rates could go much lower, but they might. Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke has indicated his belief that economic conditions may warrant further quantitative easing by the Fed (nicknamed QE2). For those of you who may not [...]

For those of you celebrating Yom Kippur, I wish you an easy fast and a happy new year. If you are looking for something to do tomorrow, however, please consider attending the Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival and then please tell me all about it! I must confess I have never attended this festival but it sounds [...]
Modern Marketing for Home Sales
I love Pittsburgh, but we are not always up on the latest trends. Although a portion of the city works in very high tech businesses, overall I would characterize Pittsburgh as fairly low tech. And that’s fine. Except I think your real estate agent should be able and willing to market your home aggressively online. [...]
