2023 Rollercoaster Real Estate Market in Greenville
Total Sales: A Rollercoaster of Trends
So, let’s talk total sales – the real estate rollercoaster that was 2023, according to the insights from RE/MAX REACH Broker/Owner, Jeremy Russell. Interest rates soaring, sale prices reaching new heights, fewer buyers taking the plunge – it all culminated in a 7.8% dip in total units sold compared to the bustling 2022. Numbers, you ask? That’s 14,803 units in 2023, down from 16,057 in the previous year. And the financial landscape? Down 4.1%, translating to $5,594,601,185 in 2023 from a robust $5,833,606,881 in 2022.
Median Sale Price: Where Numbers Tell a Story
Now, let’s shift our focus to the median sale price. In the Upstate, 2023 brought us a headline-worthy $310,900 – a 2.9% jump from the previous year’s $302,210. What’s the twist? Sellers are still riding the wave of positive equity when sealing the deal!
Inventory Levels: Choices Galore
Speaking of deals, buyers in the Upstate had a field day in 2023. Why? Increased inventory! A whopping 28.9% surge from 2022 turned the market into a playground of options and substitutes.
Average Days on Market: The Clock is Ticking
But, time plays a role in this real estate saga. The average Days on Market in 2023? Brace yourself – it soared by 70.4% compared to the previous year, settling at 46 days on the market. Hold on, though – those percentages decided to take a breather as we waltzed into the 4th Quarter.
In Conclusion: Surprises Amidst the Numbers
In conclusion, 2023 might have seemed like a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but here’s the plot twist – total units sold were higher than in 2019 and 2018. Thanks to the rising values, the volume sold even outpaced 2021! Now, as we step into 2024, experts hint at interest rates taking a dip. Lower rates might mean more units sold, but brace for increased prices and buyer competition.
Tips for Buyers and Sellers: Navigating the Current Landscape
For buyers eyeing the market, now might be the sweet spot. Lower competition and more options! And for sellers, it’s a game of standing out – no more just sticking a sign in the yard. A robust Marketing Plan is the key to getting your home noticed in a sea of listings. With most buyers driven by life-changing events, national and international exposure is vital.
