Single-Family Homes in Cumberland County:
The Cumberland County single-family market ended December 2025 with prices holding firm, even as the pace of sales slowed. The median sales price reached $594,800, up 5.7% from November, though down 1.7% from December 2024. Homes spent a median of 17 days on market, increasing 3.1% from November and 10.0% from December 2024, indicating buyers are taking more time to make decisions compared to earlier periods. For buyers, this slight slowdown may create more breathing room to evaluate options, while sellers should expect a bit more time on market and the importance of strong pricing and presentation.
Sales activity remained steady with 258 closed sales, up 4.0% from November and 2.8% from the previous year. Sellers continued to see strong pricing, receiving 99.2% of list price on average, while the median sold price per square foot rose to $332, reflecting a 4.7% increase from December 2024. This suggests that demand remains healthy for well-positioned homes, and buyers should be prepared to act competitively when the right property becomes available.
Inventory remains tight despite the slower pace. New listings dropped to 159, down 32.6% from November, while active inventory fell to 421 homes, resulting in just 1.6 months of supply. With limited choices on the market, sellers continue to hold an advantage, while buyers may benefit from working proactively with their agent to identify opportunities early as the market moves toward early 2026.
Condominiums in Cumberland County:
The Cumberland County condominium market closed December 2025 with mixed signals, as pricing held relatively steady while activity softened compared to last year. The median sales price reached $473,250, up 3.1% from November but down 5.4% from December 2024, suggesting some price resistance at higher levels. Homes spent a median of 22 days on market, increasing 4.8% from November, but down significantly from the previous year, indicating condos are still selling more quickly than they did last December despite a recent monthly slowdown.
Sales activity showed short-term improvement but remained lower overall. There were 66 closed sales, up 8.2% from November, though down 13.2% from December 2024. Sellers continued to perform well on pricing, receiving 99.5% of list price on average, even as the median sold price per square foot declined to $354, down from both November and last year, pointing to some softening in buyer willingness to pay peak pricing.
Inventory conditions remain relatively tight but are less constrained than the single-family market. New listings fell sharply to 44, down nearly 49% from November, while active inventory stood at 196 units, contributing to a 3.0-month supply of inventory. While this still favors sellers, it offers buyers slightly more flexibility compared to other segments. Overall, the condo market is showing signs of normalization, with balanced conditions emerging as buyers become more selective heading into early 2026.
