"How's the market?" It's a question we hear constantly, and understandably so. But the truth is, the answer depends on a variety of factors: Are you buying, selling, investing? Using cash or getting a loan? Needing to rent? Ultimately, what many people are really asking is, "Is now the right time for ME?" And the answer, as you might guess, is not one-size-fits-all.

Market Update:
Now, let's talk numbers. In York County, 416 new listings hit the market in February – that's 101 more homes than last year and 88 more than the previous month. Homes are staying active for about 40 days before going under contract, contributing to a slight increase in the months of supply to 1.5.
Impact on Prices:
Despite the slower pace, average sales prices have remained relatively stable. Year over year, we've seen a 14.5% increase, with only a minor decline of less than 1% from January. And don't be fooled by the term "slower market" – more homes closed this February compared to last, showcasing the resilience of the market.
Negotiation Benefits:
Negotiation isn't just advantageous for buyers – it can also help sellers achieve their goals. In fact, sellers received 96.6% of their asking price, a slight uptick from both last year and the previous month. There's plenty of room for a win-win scenario.
