Monthly Market Update: January 2025 

Welcome to the first market update of the year! As we step into 2025, Greenville’s housing market is poised for significant growth and opportunity. Let’s explore the trends and predictions shaping the real estate landscape in Greenville and Anderson, South Carolina, this year.

Why Greenville’s Housing Market Is Set to Boom 

A recent study highlighted Greenville and Anderson as one of the top 10 hottest real estate markets in 2025. Here’s why:

1. Population Growth Fuels Demand

The Upstate continues to attract newcomers, with strong net population growth predicted throughout the year. Greenville’s charm, affordability, and lifestyle make it a magnet for families, professionals, and retirees alike.

2. Thriving Job Market

Major employers and emerging businesses are boosting Greenville’s economy. With new job opportunities across various industries, the region’s economic outlook remains robust, driving more people to relocate to the area.

3. Affordable Living

While wages in the Upstate match national averages, the cost of living remains significantly lower. This affordability makes Greenville a top choice for homebuyers seeking value without sacrificing quality.

4. Surge in New Construction

New construction projects across the Upstate offer modern, move-in-ready homes for buyers. Builders are also providing attractive incentives, creating more opportunities for first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade.

5. Lower Mortgage Rates in Sight

The National Association of Realtors predicts interest rates may drop in 2025. Combined with Greenville’s already competitive home prices, lower rates could enhance affordability, encouraging more buyers to enter the market.

Market Trends to Watch This Year 

  • Increased Inventory: With more sellers entering the market and new construction homes adding to the supply, buyers will have more options than ever.
  • Balanced Conditions: Homes are expected to sell within 60–90 days, offering a less rushed experience for buyers while still delivering value for sellers.
  • Spring and Summer Activity Surge: Anticipated lower interest rates could result in heightened competition during peak seasons. Buyers may want to act early to secure favorable deals.
