Buyers have more homes to choose from than they did at the start of the year, competition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-pending-sales-increase-summer-starts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">has balanced<\/a> in a few slower markets, and price growth has remained relatively modest. Affordability is still a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/home-prices-record-high-june-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">key issue<\/a> and is limiting activity, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">But not all markets are seeing the same trends. Some cities in the Midwest, Northeast, and Bay Area have become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/most-competitive-housing-markets-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">red-hot<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/san-francisco-home-prices-march-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">much more expensive<\/a> as buyers fight over a dwindling inventory. On the other end of the spectrum, many cities in the Sun Belt have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/buyers-vs-sellers-may-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cooled<\/a> as buyers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/austin-texas-slowest-housing-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">back off<\/a> from previously overheated prices and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/climate-migration-real-estate-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">climate risks<\/a>, leaving listings sitting for months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take a look at how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/15702\/PA\/Pittsburgh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pittsburgh<\/a> market is doing as we enter the second half of 2026.
