Why Everyone's Talking About the Laurel Highlands — And Why It Might Be Time to Sell

Written By Jordan Fullem Zeigler

If you’ve ever spent time in the Laurel Highlands, you know just how special this part of Pennsylvania really is. From the rolling hills and scenic drives to the charming towns and hidden getaways, it’s no surprise more and more people are looking to call this area home—or at least their weekend escape.

As a local SWPA Realtor who’s spent years exploring and working in places like Farmington, Ohiopyle, Somerset, Donegal, and beyond, I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about what’s happening in our local market—and why now might be a great time to sell if you’ve been thinking about it.

What Makes the Laurel Highlands So Appealing?

If you’ve got a cabin in the woods, a family home in town, or even just some land with a view—you’re sitting on something buyers really want right now. People are craving outdoor space, peaceful living, and access to things like:

  • Ohiopyle State Park

  • Fallingwater

  • Seven Springs & Hidden Valley

  • Laurel Hill & Laurel Ridge Hiking Trails

  • Quaint small towns with amazing food, antique shops, and local charm

Whether it’s vacationers from Pittsburgh, remote workers looking to relocate, or retirees searching for their “forever place,” the demand is real—and it’s growing.

Homes Here Are Selling Quickly

Lately, I’ve had more calls than ever from buyers looking for property in ZIP codes like 15437 (Farmington), 15464 (Ohiopyle), 15501 (Somerset), and 15628 (Donegal)—and let me tell you, listings in these areas are moving fast. If you’ve thought about selling, now’s a great time to explore your options.

Here’s why:

  • Inventory is low (so your property stands out)

  • Prices have gone up across the board

  • Buyers are motivated, especially for homes that are move-in ready or vacation-rental friendly
