July 2025 West Chester Area School District, PA Residential Market Update

Welcome to the July 2025 West Chester Area School District Real Estate Market Update! This report delves into the latest trends shaping our local housing landscape, offering vital insights for anyone navigating the market in West Chester Area School District. While the market continues to exhibit a fast pace, July saw some interesting shifts compared to the previous month, presenting both opportunities and considerations for buyers and sellers.

Market Insights: A Shifting Landscape in West Chester Area School District

The West Chester Area School District housing market in July 2025 demonstrated continued dynamism, though with some notable changes from June. Homes still sold quickly, with the median days on market remaining at a brisk 5 days, consistent with June's exceptionally fast pace. This underscores sustained strong buyer demand. The average cumulative days on market also saw a slight decrease, from 17 days in June to 15 days in July, indicating that the overall sales cycle remains very quick.

The Sale Price-to-Original Price Ratio in July moderated slightly to 100.60%, a decrease from June's 101.20%. While still indicating that properties are, on average, selling above their initial asking prices, this subtle shift suggests a potential leveling of the intense bidding wars seen in previous months. For perspective, this means homes sold for approximately 0.6% above their original list price in July, compared to 1.2% in June.

Interestingly, the Number of Price Reductions increased to 53 in July, a slight increase from the 47 recorded in June. For these properties, the Reduced Price-to-Original Ask Ratio Average was 94.30%, an increase from June's 93.03%. This indicates that properties requiring price adjustments in July sold for a slightly smaller discount from their original asking price than those in June. The Price Reduction Percentage From Original List Price Average was 5.70% in July.

The Months Supply of Inventory remained tight at 2 months, mirroring June's figures. This consistently low inventory continues to signify a strong seller's market, contributing to the rapid absorption of available homes.

In terms of financing, Conventional loans remained the dominant payment method, accounting for 63.03% of transactions, a slight decrease from June's 66.04%. Cash purchases continued to represent a significant portion of sales at 33.61%, also a slight decrease from the 32.08% in June, but still highlighting a substantial presence of cash-ready buyers. The remaining transactions were financed via FHA (0.84%), a combination of Conventional and PHFA (0.84%), Cash and Conventional (0.84%), and another financing type (0.84%). As always, this financing information is self-reported by listing agents and may reflect the purchase agreement structure rather than the final financing at settlement.
