The Fort Mill housing market is showing buyer-friendly conditions heading into fall 2025, with median home prices at $555K—down 4.1% from last year. Homes are spending an average of 69 days on the market, giving buyers more time to make informed decisions compared to the [1] frenzied pace of previous years. The current market offers negotiating power, with average homes selling for about 2% below list price. Hot properties in desirable neighborhoods like Baxter Village and Springfield still move quickly, typically going pending within 30 days at or near list price. With some homes receiving multiple offers, working with a local agent who knows which properties will generate competition remains essential. First-time buyers should focus on the $400K-$500K range where inventory has improved, while move-up buyers will find excellent value in the $550K-$700K segment near Nation Ford High School and Sugar Creek neighborhoods. Now's the time to take advantage of longer market times and motivated sellers before spring inventory tightens.
