The first quarter of 2017 has ended, so lets review how the housing market in Greenville and the Upstate of South Carolina has done so far. Reports show that new listings are up 3.5% and the time a house spends on the market is down by 24.4 days to a total of 58 days on the market. The Greater Greenville Association of Realtors says, “Sales have held their own in year-over-year comparisons and should improve during the busiest months of the real estate sales cycles… as the economy improves home sales tend to go up.”
