The Peters Township real estate market has shown remarkable resilience and complexity throughout . This analysis, based on MLS residential real estate data for site-built homes closed between January 1 and December 4th , 2025 , provides a data-driven look at current trends, success rates, and the impact of pricing strategies.

Monthly Average Sold Price
While the overall trend is strong, monthly data reveals fluctuations in the average sold price, which can be influenced by the mix of properties closing in any given month.

Sold vs. Withdrawn/Canceled Listings
The Peters Township market shows an exceptionally high success rate for listings. Out of 286 total listings analyzed (Sold and Withdrawn/Canceled), 94.4% resulted in a sale. Only 16 listings were withdrawn or canceled during this period.
Success Rate by Price Segment
A closer look at the success rate across different price segments reveals a crucial insight: the higher the price, the greater the risk of a listing failing to sell.
Price Segment (List Price) SOLD Withdrawn/Canceled (W) Total Success Rate (S/Total)
< $250k 18 O 18 100%
$250k - $500k 105 7 112 93.75%
$500k - $750k 69 4 73 94.52%
$750k - $1M 51 0 51 100%
> $1M 27 5 32 84.38%
The $1M+ segment had the lowest success rate at 84.38%, indicating that pricing and market conditions are most sensitive at the top end of the market. Conversely, the $750k - $1M segment showed a perfect 100% success rate, suggesting strong demand and accurate pricing in this high-end bracket.

Neighborhood Success Rates
Success rates also vary by neighborhood, as defined by Zip Code (for listings with 5 or more total transactions):
Zip Code | Success Rate (S/Total) |
15241 | 100.0% |
15317 | 95.86% |
15367 | 92.31% |
Zip Code 15367 experienced a slightly higher rate of withdrawn or canceled listings compared to other areas, which could be a focus for local agents.
Impact of Overpricing
The data clearly shows that initial pricing plays a major role in the final sale outcome. 57.04% of all sold homes ultimately sold for less than their final list price. For these homes, the average discount from the list price was about $33,761. Conversely, for homes that sold above the list price, the average premium was roughly $22,942. This shows that while some homes are priced competitively and fetch a premium, most sellers have to lower their prices to match the market, often resulting in a significant discount. Overpricing doesn’t generally help sellers, as it leads to price cuts and possibly longer time on the market (though Days on Market data was unavailable for this analysis).

4. Market Sweet Spots
Identifying "sweet spots" helps buyers and sellers understand which types of homes are currently commanding the highest prices.
Average Sold Price by Home Type
The data highlights a clear hierarchy in value based on home style (filtered for types with 5 or more sales):
Home Type | Average Sold Price | Count |
3 or More Stories | $979,425 | 16 |
2 Story or 2 Level | $719,886 | 159 |
Patio | $572,517 | 6 |
1 1/2 Story | $547,730 | 23 |
Ranch or 1 Level | $402,771 | 45 |
Split Entry | $374,455 | 11 |
Raised Ranch | $331,500 | 6 |
Larger, multi-story homes (3 or More Stories, 2 Story or 2 Level) are the dominant and highest-value segments of the market.
