Past sales and county value

Last sale

County assessed value
$84,100 (based on 2012 prices)
Homestead exemption
Yes. The owner likely lives here, so you may need to go through an eviction after buying.

Allegheny County values are based on 2012 market levels, so they are usually well below today's prices. Past sale prices can include family transfers and other non-market sales.
