Greenville is a seller’s market in March 2022

Greenville’s real estate market is still a seller’s market. There were only 2049 homes for sale last month. At the same time last year, inventory was lower and we’ve barely increased since then.

The median sales price was up 17.4 percent to $295,290 and days on market decreased 31.7 percent to 28 days. We’ve seen a slight increase in months supply of homes to 1.4 percent, slightly higher than February’s 1.3. Still, the demand is higher than the current supply so sellers are still experiencing record sales prices, and buyers are still having a hard time finding homes. 

The average homes in Greenville go pending in around 28 days, 6% faster than it was in February. Sellers choosing to sell their homes are most likely to get 100% or more.

With inventory shortage, many prospective buyers are turning to new construction homes but with rising construction costs, many buyers are finding they can’t afford to purchase a new home. The low inventory of homes boosts demand which helps home prices soar even further.
