York County Real Estate Market Report – April 2025 | The Linda Hall Team

 

Presented by The Linda Hall Team – Century 21 First Choice

April 2025 brought continued energy to the York County housing market as spring selling season hit full stride. With rising inventory, strong pending sales, and steady home prices, both buyers and sellers had opportunities to take advantage of. Here’s a detailed look at this month’s key real estate trends across York County.

📈 Closed Sales

There were 291 closed sales in April 2025, up 6.2% from the previous year. This increase in closings reflects the strong momentum from early spring activity and a healthier flow of transactions throughout the market.

🔁 Pending Sales

Pending sales rose to 393, showing a 20.2% increase year-over-year. This significant jump signals strong buyer demand and positions May and June for solid closing numbers.

🆕 New Listings

480 new homes were listed in April, a 11.9% year-over-year rise. This increase in inventory is helping to ease competition and provide more choices for buyers across York County.

🏡 Homes for Sale

Active inventory continues to grow, with 815 homes for sale, a 51.8% jump compared to April 2024. This increased availability is giving buyers more flexibility and negotiating power in today’s market.

💰 Median Sales Price

The median sales price for single-family homes in York County climbed to $460,000, a robust 10.2% increase over last year. Rising prices point to continued value appreciation and strong demand in sought-after areas.

⏳ Median Days on Market

Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, with a median of 19 days on the market, up 58.3% from April 2024. This shift reflects a more balanced market, allowing buyers time to weigh their options.

📅 Median List to Close

The median number of days from listing to closing rose to 62 days, up 14.8% year-over-year. This increase aligns with longer days on market and a more deliberate pace in the transaction process.

📦 Months Supply of Homes

The months supply of homes for sale rose to 2.8 months, marking a 40% increase. While still considered a seller’s market, this trend moves us closer to balance between buyers and sellers.

👀 Showings to Pending

It continues to take an average of 8 showings to go under contract—unchanged from last year. Buyer activity remains steady, though many are becoming more thoughtful and selective in their home searches.

📣 What This Means for You

York County’s market in April 2025 continued its upward climb with rising home values, expanded inventory, and strong buyer demand. If you’re a seller, this could be the perfect time to list with equity on your side. If you're a buyer, growing inventory means more options and a bit more time to make your move.

Fort Mill vs. Tega Cay: Which Community is Right for You?

Choosing between Fort Mill and Tega Cay can be a tough decision! Both communities offer fantastic amenities, excellent schools, and a high quality of life, but each has its own unique vibe. Whether you're a homebuyer, relocating to the area, or just curious about these sought-after towns, this guide will help you determine which one is the best fit for your lifestyle.

🏡 Real Estate: Home Styles & Pricing

Fort Mill

Fort Mill boasts a diverse real estate market, featuring everything from historic homes in downtown Fort Mill to modern developments in highly desirable communities. One standout neighborhood is Masons Bend, known for its charming architecture, walkability, and proximity to the Anne Springs Close Greenway. The median home price in Fort Mill tends to be slightly lower than in Tega Cay, making it an attractive option for families and first-time buyers.

Tega Cay

Known for its unique peninsula location on Lake Wylie, Tega Cay offers a mix of waterfront homes, golf course properties, and planned communities. Homes here typically range from upscale townhomes to spacious single-family residences, with a higher percentage of properties featuring lake access or golf course views.

🌳 Lifestyle & Outdoor Recreation

Fort Mill

Fort Mill is known for its suburban charm, top-rated schools, and proximity to Charlotte. The Anne Springs Close Greenway is a highlight, offering 2,100 acres of trails, lakes, and nature programs. Families also enjoy Kingsley Town Center, featuring dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

For those looking for a tight-knit, nature-focused community, Masons Bend in Fort Mill is an excellent choice. With direct access to the Catawba River, walking trails, a resort-style pool, and a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere, it’s a perfect place for outdoor lovers and families alike.

Tega Cay

If you're looking for an active, resort-style lifestyle, Tega Cay might be your perfect match. With miles of walking trails, a 27-hole golf course, and access to Lake Wylie for boating and fishing, outdoor enthusiasts love living here. The community also hosts regular events, including summer concerts and holiday parades.

🎓 Schools & Education

Both Fort Mill and Tega Cay are served by the Fort Mill School District, one of the top-ranked districts in South Carolina. Schools such as Fort Mill High School, Nation Ford High School, and Tega Cay Elementary consistently receive high ratings, making both communities excellent choices for families with children.

🚗 Commute & Accessibility

Fort Mill

Located just off I-77, Fort Mill offers an easy commute to Charlotte, making it ideal for professionals working in the city. Most areas of Fort Mill are within a 25-30 minute drive to Uptown Charlotte.

Tega Cay

Tega Cay is slightly farther from I-77, but still provides convenient access to Charlotte. Commuters may face slightly longer travel times during peak hours, but the trade-off is a more secluded, waterfront community feel.

🍽️ Dining & Shopping

Fort Mill

Fort Mill offers a mix of local restaurants, boutique shops, and larger retail centers. Kingsley and Baxter Village are popular spots for dining, featuring favorites like Napa at Kingsley and Fish Market.

Tega Cay

While Tega Cay has fewer retail options, it’s just a short drive from Rock Hill or Fort Mill’s shopping centers. Local favorites include The Shore Club and Model A Brewing for casual dining with great views.
