Greenville is a seller’s market in June 2021

Like many real estate markets around the country, Greenville is still a hot seller’s market. Even with record sales, some sellers are not comfortable selling their homes right now and that affects the inventory of homes. Hot properties continue to see multiple offers. Some homebuyers are skipping the home inspection process to get a home under contract. The competition for hot properties is so fierce, some people are buying homes sight unseen and try other tactics to come up on top of the bidding war.

Sellers choosing to sell their homes are most likely to get 100% or above the asking price and go pending in around 24 days. On average, homes in Greenville, SC sell after 48 days on the market. The trend for median days on market in Greenville, SC has gone down since May, and since last year.

Is it a good time to buy a home in Greenville, SC?

From the home buyer’s perspective, the best time of the year to buy a home in Greenville would be in December or January, as our market slows down for the winter during these months. There are fewer buyers, so there’s less competition for properties. The median home price tends to drop in the Winter. Springtime is the peak of our local market with the highest median sales price for the year. Spring buyers are more likely to pay full price or to pay above the asking price.

These trends can always change, but they hold true for the average selling season. Our local home sales in Greenville typically double from the depths of Winter to the peak of Summer.
