Strong Home Buying Activity, Low Supply

Everyone knows springtime is the best time of the year to buy or sell a home. Without a doubt, it’s the busiest time in the real estate year. Spring is a great time to buy a home because this season would bring an influx of inventory from sellers taking advantage of the spring home buying frenzy. The demand is outpacing the supply though. According to REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey Report, a monthly survey of REALTORS® about their sales activity and local market conditions, the Seller Traffic Index indicates seller traffic conditions were weak in most states, while the Buyer Traffic Index indicates that buyer traffic conditions can be categorized as moderate to very strong in most states in the country.

The inventory of homes for sale in Greenville is pretty much the same in March compared with a year earlier, but there’s a difference in median sale price and the average number of days homes for sale in Greenville are spending on the market. The median sale price of residential homes in March rose by 7.63% to $210,399 from $195,483 last year, according to the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS®. The average days on market is at a 10-year low of 61 days so far this year. It’s a number not seen even before the housing bubble.
