25 Nov November 2019 Market Update
Believe it or not, 2020 is just around the corner. Over the last three years, the growth in home values has been remarkable. In Greenville, average sales prices have increased by 12% from $229k in October 2017 to $257k in October 2019. In Spartanburg, average sales prices have increased by 9%, from $173k to $189k, in the same two years.
So, even if you just bought your home two or three years ago, you may be surprised by the equity you’ve gained. Appreciation along with low days on market in both Greenville and Spartanburg, give our sellers the confidence they need to list their home and get it sold quickly.
Buyers are also enjoying improving trends. In October, Greenville buyers had 21% more homes to choose from and Spartanburg buyers saw a 14% increase in inventory as compared to last October. Because of increased options and interest rates below 4%, more people were encouraged to buy this Fall. Closings increased to over 39 per day in Greenville and over 14 per day in Spartanburg.
