As we moved into fall, the York County housing market in September 2025 reflected clear signs of seasonal transition and shifting buyer behavior. Inventory continues to build, showings are declining slightly, and buyers are taking more time — yet demand remains healthy. Here's your in-depth look at what happened this past month.
📈 Closed Sales
York County saw 3,564 closed sales over the past 12 months, a 9.5% increase year-over-year. The uptick in completed transactions shows that serious buyers are still active and moving forward despite longer market timelines.
📊 Pending Sales
3,664 pending sales were recorded — up a strong 12.7% compared to the previous year. This continued momentum suggests that many buyers are taking advantage of expanded inventory before rates or prices shift further.
🆕 New Listings
New listings increased to 4,861 over the past year, a 14.3% rise from September 2024. Sellers are showing more confidence in the market, and more homes are hitting the MLS — a win for buyers who’ve been waiting for more options.
🏡 Homes for Sale
Inventory jumped to 867 homes for sale, representing a significant 46.5% increase year-over-year. Buyers now have more choices than in recent years, easing competition and allowing for more informed decision-making.
📦 Months Supply of Homes
The months supply of homes rose to 3.0 months, up 36.4% from last year. While still technically a seller’s market (under 4 months), this shift points toward more balanced conditions between buyers and sellers.
💰 Median Sales Price
The median sales price increased to $435,000, a 3.6% gain over September 2024. This indicates continued appreciation, even as buyer activity becomes more measured.
📐 Median Price per Square Foot
Price per square foot stayed steady at $212, reflecting a modest 1.0% year-over-year increase. This aligns with a stabilizing pricing environment amid growing supply.
📉 Percent of Original Price Received
Sellers received a median of 97.4% of their original list price — a 1.0% decline compared to last year. This suggests buyers are gaining some leverage in negotiations.
⏳ Days on Market
Homes spent a median of 24 days on the market, up 60% from last September. This longer timeframe gives buyers more flexibility, while signaling less urgency in the marketplace.
📆 List to Close Days
The median list-to-close timeline expanded to 70 days, marking an 18.6% increase. Delays in financing, inspections, and slower decision-making are contributing to longer contract periods:content.
👣 Showings Per Listing
Buyers toured fewer homes per property, with showings per listing falling to 4.6, down 19.3% from last year. This suggests buyers are more selective or relying more heavily on virtual tours and digital previews.
🔍 Showings to Pending
It continues to take a median of 9 showings for a home to go under contract — unchanged from 2024, but still reflective of cautious buyer behavior.
📣 Final Thoughts
September 2025 highlighted a steady, shifting market. With more homes for sale, longer timelines, and stable pricing, York County is moving toward greater balance. Buyers have time and leverage, while sellers still benefit from rising prices and strong demand.
