META JUST MADE A 20-YEAR BET ON BEAVER COUNTY! 🏭⚡
And if you own property near the Ohio River, this is worth paying attention to.

Meta and Vistra just locked in a 20-year nuclear power deal with Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport. That's the plant that was set to CLOSE just a few years ago. Now it's getting a $B upgrade and bringing roughly 3,000 construction and engineering jobs to the area over the next nine years.

20-year power purchase agreement starts late 2026
3,000 project jobs on top of 750 existing full-time plant positions
Beaver Valley Unit 2 now potentially operating into the 2060s
Beaver County home values already up 4.6% year over year
Aliquippa median prices up 5.7%, and still affordable vs. Allegheny County

This isn't just an energy story. It's an economic stability story for a county that has already been climbing. Skilled tradespeople working 9-year projects need places to live, and Beaver County's prices and Pittsburgh commute make it a genuinely compelling option.

Whether you're holding on to see where this goes OR you're ready to sell now on your own terms, it helps to know what your property is worth.

PITTSBURGH JUST GOT $92 BILLION IN AI INVESTMENT, and it's reshaping property values across Western PA right now.
Data centers are coming. Big ones.

What's Happening:
- A $10 BILLION campus is being built on the old Bruce Mansfield coal plant in Beaver County
- A 4.5 gigawatt AI energy campus in Indiana County (that's bigger than any gas plant in the country)
- A new AI facility in Springdale on the old Cheswick plant site
- And one is ALREADY OPEN in McKees Rocks

We're talking Springdale. Shippingport. Homer City. McKees Rocks. Four counties. More than $20 billion committed within 50 miles of Pittsburgh.

This isn't just big news for tech. It's big news for homeowners. New jobs mean new housing demand, and the market moves BEFORE construction finishes, not after.

If you own a home near any of these sites, the window between announcement and completion matters.

WAIT, before you stress about taxes on your home sale, there's something you NEED to know! 🏠💰

Most Pittsburgh homeowners searching "sales tax in Allegheny County" are actually asking the wrong question, and it's costing them clarity when it matters most.

Here's the truth:
Allegheny County's 7% sales tax (6% state + 1% local) applies to everyday purchases, NOT your home sale
The tax that actually affects your closing is a SEPARATE system entirely: realty transfer tax

Sales tax DOES hit you indirectly, appliances, fixtures, and repair materials before listing all add up fast
Selling as-is? You skip most of those pre-listing purchases, and those sales tax costs with them

This isn't just a tax lesson, it's a smarter way to protect your bottom line when you sell.

Your mortgage payment may be the same. But the cost of owning your home probably isn't.

Since 2021, the average homeowner has seen significant increases in property taxes, home insurance, electricity, and heating costs. These "hidden housing costs" are quietly adding thousands of dollars per year to household budgets and reshaping what it really costs to own a home in 2026.

For many families, the mortgage isn't the problem. It's everything around it.

If you've noticed your monthly housing costs rising even though your mortgage stayed the same, you're not alone.
