Spring is in full swing in York County, and the real estate market is showing signs of increased activity and shifting buyer behavior. Here's a detailed look at how March 2025 unfolded for our local housing market.

📊 Market Snapshot

  • Closed Sales: 258 single-family homes closed in York County – down 4.1% from March 2024. While fewer closings occurred, this may reflect delayed activity from early winter months.
  • Pending Sales: 376 homes went under contract – a 24.9% increase year-over-year, suggesting a strong pipeline of future closings and renewed buyer interest.
  • New Listings: 478 new homes hit the market – up 39.8% from last year, easing inventory concerns for spring buyers.
  • Homes for Sale: Inventory rose to 775 active listings – up a dramatic 56.9% from last March, providing more options for buyers.

🏠 Pricing & Buyer Activity

  • Median Sales Price: $410,000 – a 3.8% increase from March 2024, indicating stable appreciation in home values.
  • Median Price per Sq Ft: $209 – a 3.0% rise over last year, reflecting strong price support despite more inventory.
  • Median Percent of Original Price Received: 97.9% – slightly down by 0.7%, showing buyers are negotiating slightly more.

⏱ Days on Market & Time to Close

  • Median Days on Market: 25 days – up 47.1% year-over-year, giving buyers a bit more breathing room to decide.
  • Median List to Close: 73 days – a 23.7% increase, reflecting longer timelines to closing overall.

📉 Buyer Demand Metrics

  • Showings Per Listing: 5.9 – down 10.6% from last March, suggesting that while buyer interest remains, it's slightly more selective.
  • Median Showings to Pending: 9 – consistent with last year, meaning it still takes about 9 showings on average to go under contract.

📦 Months Supply of Homes

The months supply of inventory increased to 2.7 months – a 50% jump year-over-year. While still a seller’s market (typically under 4 months), this indicates a shift toward more balanced conditions.

🔎 What It Means for You

With more listings, stable prices, and homes sitting on the market longer, March signals new opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have more options and slightly more time to make decisions, while sellers benefit from ongoing appreciation and solid demand.
