Market Metrics
October 2024, 2025, and 2026 comparisons · 12-month MLS reporting basis
Closed Sales
Closed sales fell 3.3% from last year but stayed above 2024. Fewer completed transactions are one sign that demand has cooled from last year.
Homes for Sale
Inventory rose to 969 homes, the highest of the three October readings. Buyers have more homes to compare, and sellers face more competition from active listings.
Median Days on Market
The median rose by two days from last year and 11 days from 2024. The slower pace gives buyers more time to compare properties.
Median List-to-Close Days
The median time from listing to closing stretched to 73 days. Buyers and sellers coordinating a move should allow for a longer timeline than in either prior year.
Median % of Original List Price
Homes sold for a median of 97.3% of their original asking price, unchanged from last year and one percentage point below 2024.
Median Price per Square Foot
The median edged down to $210 per square foot, matching 2024. This gives buyers a slightly lower benchmark than last year, though the price per square foot varies with the homes sold.
Median Sales Price
The median sales price rose to $440,000, the highest of the three readings. Sellers saw modest price growth countywide even as fewer homes closed.
Median Showings to Pending
The median remained at nine showings before a home went under contract in all three October reporting periods.
Months of Supply
Supply rose to 3.2 months. Buyers have more options than in prior years, while the relatively limited supply still gives sellers some leverage.
New Listings
New listings fell 3.5% from last year but remained above 2024. Fewer homes entered the market than a year ago, even as the number of homes available for sale grew.
Pending Sales
Pending sales fell 5.5% to 3,443, signaling fewer homes went under contract than a year ago. That can give buyers more room to negotiate.
Showings per Listing
Showings per listing fell for the second year in a row. With fewer visits per home, sellers have more reason to price competitively and make the most of each showing.
The Bottom Line
York County’s October report shows more homes for sale and less buyer traffic than a year ago. Pending sales fell 5.5% and closed sales fell 3.3%, while the median time on market increased to 27 days. The median sales price reached $440,000, and homes continued to sell for a median of 97.3% of their original asking price.
For buyers, more homes for sale and fewer showings per home can create room to compare properties and negotiate. For sellers, 3.2 months of supply and modest price growth are encouraging, but pricing against current competition matters. If your move depends on the sale, factor in the 73-day median from listing to closing.
