The Mt. Lebanon Authority
M
t. Lebanon deservedly has an enduring reputation
as one of Pittsburgh’s finest suburbs. Blue-ribbon
schools, safe walkable neighborhoods, vibrant busi-
ness districts, an award-winning public library, outstanding
recreational opportunities, modern parks and nature trails all
contribute to Mt. Lebanon’s charm, putting it on every home-
buyer’s short list.
This desirability was cultivated for more than a century,
which is why this unique community has what so many buy-
ers are looking for.
In the early 20th century, Mt. Lebanon offered ample
housing close to public transportation. Today, that conve-
nience still is one of the top-selling features for these homes.

long, attractive,
curving streets with communal park-like green spaces — de-
signs so popular they became models for future municipal
developments.
Today’s buyer appreciates the quaintness only Mt. Leb-
anon can truly offer. From custom-designed, turn-of-the-
century architecture to practical mid-century family homes,
buyers can find a home in Mt. Lebanon to fit almost any
need. Its unique character and established neighborhoods
mean that you won’t find cookie-cutter homes stacked into
profit-maximized plans. The Mt. Lebanon buyer recognizes that beauty
and craftsmanship, and knows it comes at a premium.
Still, to buy or sell in Mt. Lebanon successfully takes a Realtor who
knows the community from border to border, who can recognize a
good deal and act quickly on it. For buyers, February through July are
key months for Mt. Lebanon, a time when a buying and selling frenzy
takes over the local housing market. For sellers, it’s critical to price
your home correctly from the start, in order to prevent listing fatigue.
The longer the home is on the market, the less valuable it is perceived
by buyers. If it is on too long, buyers wonder, “What’s wrong with it?”
Sellers also have to compete with real estate investors in the Pittsburgh
region who flip

This is paramount
in today’s online
marketplace, where buyers are touring homes virtually in the comfort
of their living rooms.
Decades ago, real estate was dominated by real estate agents. Today,
real estate is driven by technology. More than 95 percent of all buyers
preview your home online before ever stepping through the front
door. Once the home has been eliminated as a possibility, no amount
of price drop will revive interest in it. It is more important to get an
agent who can capitalize on this new frontier in order to “sell for the
most money in the shortest amount of time.” A large financial invest-
ment like your
