Sellers are still experiencing record sales prices, and buyers are still having a hard time finding homes. Experts anticipate that Greenville will continue to have a hot market in 2022, as homes sales are projected to remain strong.

Inventory is slowly coming back, but not fast enough to slow prices down. We still have minimal inventory. Mortgage rates remain at historic lows, attracting home buyers, and homeowners who choose to sell in the coming months can expect to see plenty of buyer activity. We’re still seeing a sellers market ahead.
