Welcome to the very first episode of Move Me to Pittsburgh, a podcast breaking down real estate, local news, and everyday life across the Pittsburgh region.

In this Thanksgiving-week episode, David Kerr and Cassie Ayers dive into an important real estate conversation many sellers overlook: the risks of listing a home and accepting an offer too quickly. We talk about seller’s remorse, why timing and marketing matter, and how giving your listing room to breathe can lead to better terms and higher sale prices.

We also discuss major local headlines, including the sale of Station Square to a Boston-based developer and what that could mean for the future of Pittsburgh’s waterfront. Plus, we share a feel-good holiday story as Pittsburgh bakers attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Christmas cookie exchange.

To wrap things up, we touch on mortgage trends, inventory levels, investment opportunities, and a few Pittsburgh holiday traditions that make this city special.

Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or just love staying plugged into what’s happening around Pittsburgh, this podcast is for you.
