Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Columbia’s rolling three-month numbers show notable price growth and shifting dynamics. The typical home value is up more than 20 percent from a year ago, while the median list price is only slightly higher, suggesting buyers are paying closer to true market value. Homes sold have increased compared with last year, even as pending sales have dipped.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, inventory and supply have loosened compared with last year. Active listings are up more than 25 percent year over year, and months of supply has climbed from around the low twos last fall to 2.5 months, giving buyers a bit more choice without tipping the scales away from sellers.
Demand is still strong in Columbia, with homes spending a median of just 9 days on the market, down from a year ago even though it has risen from early-summer lows. Roughly 36 percent of homes are selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 101 percent, signaling that well-priced properties can still attract multiple offers. At the same time, the increase in new listings over the past year means buyers have more options to consider. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands these trends and can guide them through the process.

“Jennifer was incredible from beginning to end. She guided us through the entire process, sharing helpful insights, practical recommendations, and support every step of the way. Her dedication and attention to detail really stood out, and she consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Jennifer and her team exceeded our expectations, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. We're truly grateful for all of her help and for making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy from start to finish.”

“We have been working with Kadric for 5 years and are in a very tough buyer's market, but he was always very patient with us during our longer search for a home. Kadric is a very attentive agent and was able to guide our search as we got a better feel for what we were looking for. He is very responsive and always acts with a high degree of urgency which we really appreciated. We went under contract very quickly when the right property showed up, but it was due to the tremendous effort on Kadric's part to manage all the communications efficiently to get the deal done. Long-story there, but needless to say, Kadric earned some bragging rights around the office. We are very grateful for all of Kadric's efforts and that of his team (especially Sam)! Looking forward to settling into our new home. Thanks!”

“We worked with David for five months and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly responsive, took us to see every home we were interested in, and supported us through the disappointment of losing a few houses along the way. He stayed encouraging and dedicated throughout the process and helped us find our very first home. We’re so grateful for all his hard work and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor!”

“Rod was an exceptional realtor who knew exactly what we were looking for when it came to a home. While he showed us several houses over our time with him, when the right one came along, he made sure we were the first to not only see, but also helped us close the deal. He knew us well and answered every question we had along the way. Rod also made selling our house easy. His experience and professionalism made all the difference, helping us get a great result with zero hassle. We would work with Rod again in a heartbeat! Thank you Rod.”

“Very professional agent Very helpful tx so much”
Iron Valley Berks
“A remarkable agent who takes ownership of the entire process & is surrounded by an excellent team. We were extremely impressed with the service and professionalism we received from Jerry Riggleman. From the very beginning, he exuded confidence that our home would sell quickly—and his confidence was reassuring throughout the entire process. He was always accessible, day or night, by telephone, text or email, and consistently responsive whenever we had a question or concern. He was also always punctual, dependable, and thoroughly prepared. One of the things that impressed us most was the amount of time and effort he put into preparing a comprehensive marketing package for our home. He clearly understood how to present the property in the best possible light and left no detail overlooked. His attention to detail and knowledge of the real estate process were evident from the initial listing all the way through closing. He also took the time to personally meet with the buyers and their agent and walk through the house, which demonstrated how committed he was to making sure everyone was comfortable and well informed. His support team was equally impressive. Having an excellent photographer and a capable administrator behind him made the entire process efficient and professional. It was clear that he has built a strong team that knows how to get things done. Throughout the transaction, he was especially helpful in explaining the seller's side of the closing documents and walking us through what we were signing. He never made us feel rushed or that our questions were a bother. He made what can often be an overwhelming process understandable and manageable. His professionalism, confidence, communication, attention to detail, marketing skills, and genuine commitment to his clients set him apart. We can absolutely see why he is rated as one of the best agents in the United States. He does so much more than just list a house. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent.”

“We were introduced to Chuck through a friend, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our agent for our first home purchase in the United States. As international buyers, we were unfamiliar with the Lancaster area and the U.S. home-buying process. Chuck patiently helped us understand the different areas, the local housing market, available properties, and the costs involved in buying a home. What impressed us most was that we were not even in the U.S. during our home search. Chuck toured homes for us and showed them to us through video calls, giving us detailed and honest feedback so we could confidently make such an important decision from overseas. When we found the right home, Chuck always looked at the situation from our perspective. He developed a clear strategy, advised us on a fair and reasonable offer, and helped protect our interests throughout the process. Everything went smoothly from the offer to closing, and we are now happily settled into our new home. Chuck is patient, detail-oriented, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very strategic. He also has a great sense of aesthetics, which was extremely helpful when evaluating homes. We highly recommend Chuck, especially to international buyers or anyone purchasing a home in the Lancaster or Lititz area. Thank you, Chuck, for helping our family find our first home in America. We absolutely love our new home and life in Lititz!”

“Working with Camren was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right home. Throughout the entire process, he took the time to answer our questions, explain each step clearly, and ensure we felt confident in every decision. What stood out most was his professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to us as clients. He consistently went above and beyond to make the buying process as smooth and stress-free as possible. His expertise in the local market and strong negotiation skills were invaluable. We highly recommend Camren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking, and caring real estate professional. We couldn’t be happier with out experience and would gladly work with him again in the future.”
