MARKET POTENTIAL Buyer

RE_CON 01 is designed with amenities that young professionals and families at all stages need. The Pittsburgh market for an urban single family home expects 1800-2500 sqft homes with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a roof deck, a garage and an open floor plan. Our potential buyer profile and the comparable analysis sets the price point between $550,000 and $800,000. Because the target buyer group is at the beginning of adulthood and in the process of building their career and their families so the flexibility of the space, and the ability to grow into their home is important, otherwise they will have to relocate as their needs change.
