Greenville is a seller’s market in July 2022

Greenville’s real estate market was a seller’s market in July but the housing market continues to cool fueled by rising interest rates, rising home prices, and inflation. Home sales and mortgage applications were affected, cooling the demand in the housing market.

The slowdown in sales has provided a much-needed lift to housing supply, with inventory up 70.3 percent to 3594 units. New listings were down 3.3 percent to 1999. Months supply of inventory was up especially in the single-family segment. That amounts to 2.6 months supply for single-family homes.

Still despite the slowdown in home buying, the average homes in Greenville go pending in around 19 days, 10 percent faster than it was in July 2021. Sellers choosing to sell their homes are still most likely to get 100 percent or more. The median sales price was up 19.8 percent to $317,390.
