Market Update: Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC — September 2026*

Curious what's happening in our local real estate market? Here's a quick look at the numbers. The area currently has 6,041 active listings, with homes spending a median of 66 days on the market — a sign that conditions have eased slightly toward a more balanced market with a little more room for buyers to shop around.

Home values remain stable, with a median closed price of $339,900 and sellers still averaging 99.55% of their asking price. Looking ahead, experts are forecasting steady appreciation of 2.1% over the next year and 3.5% over three years, building on a strong decade of growth. Add in a low 3.8% unemployment rate and population growth of 1.45% year-over-year, and it's clear our area continues to be a great place to call home.

Mortgage Rate Update – August 2026

*Rates drifted lower this month as a weaker jobs report and cooling inflation offset pressure from rising oil prices and Middle East tensions. Home sales and new construction both slowed in July, with inventory still tight and builders leaning on incentives to move homes. Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech offered no new signals on rate policy, so expect rates to stay choppy in the weeks ahead.

Thinking about buying? A few up-and-coming markets — Raleigh, Greenville, Chattanooga, and Richmond among them — are seeing strong demand before prices climb further. Read more: https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-us-cities-for-buying-a-home-before-prices-soar-12057159

Greenville-Anderson-Greer Real Estate Market Update*.

The local market is holding steady with a slight edge toward sellers. Right now there are about 5,987 active listings, with homes selling in a median of 64 days (about 4.94 months of supply).

Prices remain stable — the median closed price is $355,000, and sellers are typically getting 99.95% of their asking price. About 8.42% of listings have seen a price reduction, so buyers do have some room to negotiate in certain cases.

Looking ahead, we're forecasting modest appreciation of around 1.35% over the next year, on top of strong five-year growth (a 6.94% average annual gain). Local economic fundamentals remain healthy too, with unemployment at 4% and population growth of 1.45% year-over-year.

Monthly Mortgage Update - July 2026*:

Mortgage rates have climbed to near one-year highs this month as renewed conflict in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher and stoked inflation worries. That's despite some good inflation news mid-month, when CPI came in cooler than expected.

On the jobs front, hiring has slowed, but layoffs remain rare, a mixed but stable signal for the economy.

For homebuyers and sellers: inventory is still tight nationally (4.6 months of supply vs. the 6 months considered balanced), and home prices hit a new record median of $440,600, up 2% year-over-year. Builders are feeling the pinch too. Over 60% are now offering incentives to move inventory.

All eyes turn to this week's Fed meeting and Q2 GDP data for clues on where rates head next. Reach out if you'd like to talk through what this means for your buying or selling timeline.

As always, if you have any questions, let us know!
