Comparison to October 2025

November saw a clear seasonal dip in sales volume, but the quality and speed of transactions improved significantly:

• Closed Sales Volume: Sales dropped to 348 units, a predictable decrease as the market slows for the holidays.
• Pricing: The Average Price increased to $783,893, while the Median Price softened slightly to $570,000. This suggests that while there were fewer overall sales, the high-end luxury market maintained strong pricing power.
• Negotiation Nuance: The Average SP/OP Ratio jumped to 99.80%, a major positive indicator showing sellers secured prices much closer to their ask than last month. While the Median Ratio dipped just below 100%, the overall trend is toward less negotiating room for buyers.
• Market Velocity: The CDOM Average dropped by seven days to 30 days, signaling that older, lingering inventory finally moved or was pulled, leaving a healthier, faster-moving selection of properties. The Median CDOM holding at 10 days confirms fresh, desired inventory moves at lightning speed.
• Price Reductions: The number of reductions fell by nearly 100 listings, and the depth of the typical reduction decreased. This is strong evidence that pricing is becoming more accurate and the market is more efficient.

Summary & Outlook

November demonstrated that while the overall volume decreased, the underlying strength of the Chester County residential market is sound. The improvements in both the Average SP/OP Ratio and the Average CDOM are clear evidence of a more efficient, less congested market compared to October. The significant jump in cash buyers (27.17% of transactions) suggests that the market remains highly liquid and competitive for sellers who value speed and certainty.

• For Sellers: The data suggests that buyers are ready to pay full price or more for accurately valued homes. Listing inventory now, while competition is low, can yield fast results.
• For Buyers: The increase in sales efficiency means the market is less forgiving for low offers. However, the slight drop in the Median Sold Price offers targeted opportunities in the mid-range market.
