This summer, many in our community are feeling the effects of rising costs in the housing market. Recent numbers show existing-home sales dipped 1.7% from June to July, though they remain 0.7% higher than last year. With mortgage rates hovering around 6.6% and inventory staying low, it's no surprise that buyer activity has slowed and affordability is a growing concern—especially for first-time buyers facing a median home price of $434,100. As someone who’s spent 20 years helping York County families and investors make sense of the real estate landscape, I know how overwhelming these shifts can feel. My approach blends creative problem-solving with up-to-date local insight, so you can navigate these market changes with confidence and clarity.
