As 2025 unfolds, York County’s housing market continues to demonstrate strength, complexity, and opportunity—depending on whether you’re planning to buy or sell. Below is a complete year-over-year review using the latest November data, offering clear insights into the trends shaping our local market and what they mean for you.

1. Median Days on Market

The median days on market increased from 17 to 26 days (+52.9%) . This shift slightly favors buyers, who benefit from more time to make decisions and negotiate strategically. For sellers, pricing accurately and presenting your home beautifully has never been more important.

2. Median List-to-Close Days

York County’s list-to-close timeline rose from 61 to 71 days (+16.4%) . Buyers gain from a more relaxed pace, while sellers should plan for slightly longer transaction timelines—but still within healthy market norms.

3. Median Percent of Original Price Received

Sellers received 97.2% of their original list price this year, down slightly from 98.2% (-1.0%) . This tightening suggests buyers have a bit more room for negotiation compared to last year, though sellers remain in a solid position with homes still selling very close to asking price.

4. Median Price Per Square Foot

Price per square foot increased from $211 to $212 (+0.5%) year over year . A small rise, but still an indication of steady property value appreciation—good news for homeowners and sellers.

5. Median Sales Price

The median sales price climbed from $424,633 to $435,000 (+2.4%) . This continued upward trend underscores strong long-term equity growth for sellers, while buyers should take note that waiting rarely improves affordability in York County.

6. Median Shows to Pending

Buyer activity shows stability, holding at 9 showings per listing this year, despite a dip from 10 the year before (0.0% change from 2024–2025) . Homes that are priced well still go under contract efficiently—good for sellers—but buyers are moving more selectively.

7. Months Supply of Homes for Sale

York County inventory increased from 2.3 to 3.1 months (+34.8%) . This is one of the biggest shifts in the market: more inventory benefits buyers by increasing options and reducing urgency, though it remains below the 5–6 months typical of a fully balanced market.

8. New Listings

New listings rose from 4,331 to 4,848 (+11.9%) year over year . This gives buyers more opportunities than in recent years, while sellers enjoy a replenished marketplace where demand still runs strong.

9. Closed Sales

Closed sales increased from 3,258 to 3,597 (+10.4%) . A rise in closings signals marketplace strength: motivated buyers are still securing homes, and sellers can feel confident in realistic, well-prepared listings.

10. Homes for Sale (Inventory)

York County inventory jumped from 631 to 900 homes for sale (+42.6%) . A substantial increase that expands buyers’ choices and reduces competitive pressure—though sellers should ensure their home stands out with expert marketing.

11. Pending Sales

Pending sales climbed from 3,310 to 3,660 (+10.6%) . This growth shows buyers remain highly active in York County, and strong demand supports healthy sales results for sellers.

12. Showings Per Listing

Showings per listing decreased from 5.6 to 4.5 (-19.6%) . Buyers have more inventory to choose from, spreading showings across more homes. Sellers benefit from professional presentation and strategic pricing to attract more qualified traffic.

A Balanced but Strong Market Entering 2026

York County’s latest data reflects a market that is simultaneously expanding and stabilizing. Inventory is rising, offering buyers more opportunity. Prices continue to grow, protecting sellers’ equity. And pending and closed sales numbers show that demand remains strong.

Did you know that a record 40% of U.S. homeowners now own their homes free and clear? That’s the highest share ever recorded—and it’s an important stat for anyone in Fort Mill, Tega Cay, or Lake Wylie who’s been thinking about making a move.

After years of rising home values, many local homeowners are sitting on significant equity. For those whose homes are paid off—or nearly paid off—that equity can open the door to new possibilities. One of the smartest ways to use it? Downsizing.

Why More Homeowners Are Choosing to Downsize

For many, downsizing isn’t about “less”—it’s about living more comfortably and intentionally. Empty nesters, retirees, or even busy professionals are discovering that a smaller home can mean:

• Less maintenance: Fewer rooms and less yard to care for.
• Lower costs: Reduced utility bills, taxes, and insurance.
• More freedom: The ability to travel or focus on experiences instead of upkeep.
• Better location: Moving closer to family, amenities, or Lake Wylie’s scenic waterfronts.

Turning Equity Into Opportunity

When you sell a home that’s mostly or fully paid off, you can often use that equity to buy your next home outright—or with a very small mortgage. Imagine the peace of mind that comes from owning a cozy new home with no monthly payment.

Many local homeowners are leveraging this equity to:

• Purchase a smaller, low-maintenance townhome or patio home
• Move into a single-story home designed for aging in place
• Buy a lakefront retreat or home closer to grandkids

What to Consider Before You Downsize

Before you list, take time to think through the details. Will you need extra storage? Is proximity to healthcare or shopping a priority? How important is outdoor space or a guest room for family visits?

Our team often helps homeowners weigh these questions and connect with trusted local lenders and financial advisors to explore what makes the most sense for their stage of life.

Your Next Chapter Starts with a Plan

Downsizing doesn’t mean giving up your lifestyle—it means redefining it for the way you live today. And with the amount of equity many homeowners now have, the timing couldn’t be better to make a move that gives you both comfort and financial peace of mind.

Thinking about downsizing? The Linda Hall Team has helped hundreds of local families navigate the process from start to finish. Let’s talk about what your next chapter could look like.
