Tracking property purchases in Pittsburgh (w/o a license)

[Heather Moore]

I'm a newbie investor from Pittsburgh & I'm looking for my second property but am not sure in what area of Pittsburgh I want to buy (first is in the West mifflin area of Pittsburgh). I'm wondering if anyone from PA can give me an efficient way of tracking sales. I'm not an agent & cannot see sold properties on the MLS. My thought is to notate when a property goes contingent & then waiting for the allegheny co website updates with the new owner (& purchase price)- but I'm REALLY hoping there's an easier route. Thanks all!
