Summerville SC Realtor: What Does All Of This Mean?

Basically, the Summerville market is pretty hot.

Just like the national market, there is a strong buyer demand and a lack of inventory.

Nationally, we are seeing home values escalating much faster than expected.

The most recent Case Shiller Home Price Index saw year-over-year numbers increase at an all time high for the fifth consecutive month. The latest numbers were the highest in 33 months.

Nationally, home values have increased at a rate in the 5% to 5.9% range. Over the first 5 months of 2017 Summerville home values have increased at an average 7.22%.

This strong demand has eaten up the available inventory as evidenced by the dropping numbers of Homes For Sale, Days On The Market, and Months Supply Of Homes.

Despite the low inventory, the number of Closed Sales and Pending Sales have shot up.

This is a great time to be a buyer or a seller in Summerville, and even better if you are both.
