May 2025 marked another active month in the York County real estate market. From rising pending sales to growing inventory and stable price gains, the landscape continues to shift in favor of a more balanced market. Whether you're buying, selling, or just staying informed, here’s your full breakdown of the latest market trends.

✅ Closed Sales

York County recorded 355 closed sales in May, a 7.6% increase over last year. This steady uptick reflects the successful conversions of early spring buyer activity into completed transactions.

📑 Pending Sales

Pending sales surged to 407 homes, up 30% year-over-year. This strong demand points to continued market momentum and suggests that summer will start off with a healthy number of closings.

🆕 New Listings

There were 539 new listings added in May — a 14% increase from last year — giving buyers more choices and alleviating some of the tight competition that defined previous years.

🏡 Homes for Sale

Active inventory reached 888 homes in May, a significant 41% increase compared to May 2024. This growing supply is helping ease pressure on buyers and encouraging more balanced negotiations.

💰 Median Sales Price

The median sales price in York County climbed to $483,500, marking a 9.6% increase year-over-year. This sustained price growth reflects continued demand for well-located, move-in ready homes.

⏳ Median Days on Market

Homes spent a median of 21 days on the market, up 90.9% compared to May 2024. Buyers now have slightly more time to make decisions, signaling a cooling from the fast-paced conditions of previous years.

📆 Median List to Close

The median time from list to close was 63 days, a 14.5% increase from last May. This indicates longer escrow periods and a more deliberate pace in deal finalization.

📦 Months Supply of Homes

The market posted a 3.0-month supply of homes in May, up from 2.3 months in 2024 — a 30.4% increase. While still a seller’s market, this trend suggests conditions are leveling out and creating room for negotiation.

👀 Showings to Pending

The average number of showings it took to go under contract remained steady at 8 showings, the same as last year. Buyer interest is strong but purposeful, as buyers explore more options before making offers.

📣 What This Means for You
