Single-Family Homes in Cumberland County:
The October 2025 Market Review for single-family residences in Cumberland County reveals a strong and active real estate market. The median sales price rose 10.8% year-over-year to $620,000, also marking a 6.9% increase from September 2025, reflecting continued buyer demand and limited supply. Closed sales climbed to 363, a 7.1% increase compared to last year and a 16% month-over-month rise, showing solid transaction momentum.
Homes sold quickly, with a median of just 14 days on the market, although this represents a 40% increase from last year, indicating that properties took slightly longer to sell. Sellers received an average of 99.4% of their list price, remaining steady. The median sold price per square foot edged up to $340, a 0.6% dip from last year but a 2.3% increase from last month. While new listings were down 11.9% year-over-year and 9.6% month-over-month, active inventory grew 28.8% from last year to 671 properties, suggesting more options for buyers. The months supply of inventory stood at 1.8, up 20.3% year-over-year, yet still indicative of a strong seller’s market.
Overall, the data points to sustained price growth, steady demand, and gradually improving inventory conditions heading into late 2025. For buyers, this means that while competition remains strong and homes are still selling quickly, a growing number of active listings may begin to offer more choices and slightly less pressure than in previous months. However, with prices continuing to rise and homes spending only about two weeks on the market, buyers should be prepared to act decisively when they find the right property. For sellers, the market remains favorable - values are up, and listings are still moving at a brisk pace. Yet, with more homes available and a slight lengthening in days on market, pricing competitively and presenting properties well will be key to capturing strong offers in this evolving landscape.
Condominiums in Cumberland County:
In October 2025, Cumberland County’s condominium market remained active and competitive. The median sales price reached $499,000, up 8.5% from last year but down slightly 3.1% from September, suggesting a typical seasonal dip rather than a market slowdown. Sellers continue to benefit from strong property values and steady demand.
Sales activity surged, with 119 closed sales, marking a 52.6% increase year over year and a 58.7% jump from September. However, the median days on market rose to 17 days, meaning condos sold 41.7% slower than last year. Still, sellers received an average of 99.7% of their list price, showing that well-priced homes continue to attract serious buyers.
On the supply side, new listings were up 6% from a year ago, and active inventory increased 21.3% to 251 units, giving buyers a bit more choice. Yet with only 2.1 months of inventory - down 20.5% year over year—the market remains tight and still favors sellers.
Overall, the data shows a market that continues to favor sellers, but with subtle shifts creating opportunities for both sides. Rising inventory and slightly longer market times suggest buyers may have a bit more breathing room than in past months, though competition remains strong for well-priced properties. For sellers, demand remains high, and homes that are accurately priced and well-presented continue to sell close to asking price. In short, sellers still hold the advantage, but buyers who are prepared and strategic can now navigate the market with a touch more flexibility and negotiating power than before.
