📈 Why Late 2025 Still Favors Savvy Sellers
1️⃣ Falling Rates Are Luring Back Buyers
Freddie Mac reports 30-year rates averaging ≈ 6.2 %, the lowest in a year. That’s reactivating rate-sensitive buyers across Greenville, Simpsonville, and Greer — especially those eager to move before 2026.
2️⃣ Less Competition Than Spring
While thousands of listings flood the MLS each March, late-year sellers face less noise. Homes in move-in condition or desirable school zones (Mauldin, Powdersville) stand out now.
3️⃣ Buyers Motivated to Close Before Year-End
Many families prefer settling in before the holidays or the start of a new school term. If your home photographs well and feels turnkey, you can capture that urgency.
🧭 The New Definition of a Successful Sale
Greenville’s median sale-to-list ratio hovers near 98 %. That means buyers expect value, and sellers must be strategic.
🔹 Price for Today, Not Yesterday
Redfin data shows that homes priced within 3% of market value sell ≈ 40% faster. Use hyper-local comps — 29607 has ticked up ≈ 13 % YoY, while 29617 softened slightly.

🔹 Prep for a Pickier Buyer
High inventory makes presentation matter. Focus on:
- Neutral paint + fresh landscaping
- Pre-listing inspection to remove surprises
- Simple kitchen/bath updates
Small touches can shorten days on market and protect your asking price.

📅 When Listing Now Makes Sense
You’re ready to list in late 2025 if:
- Your home is already market-ready
- You’re relocating or downsizing soon
- You prefer less competition over potentially higher spring prices
List from mid-November through January to attract serious buyers while inventory remains moderate.
🌷 When Waiting Might Pay Off
If your home needs upgrades or curb-appeal work, winter prep can position you for the spring 2026 surge. Just don’t over-improve — focus on visible ROI updates like lighting, flooring, or exterior paint.
🔍 Local Signals to Watch
- Inventory: Still rising, but leveling off — a sign of balance.
- Days on Market: Longer than 2024 but stable.
- Mortgage Rates: Down ≈ 1 pt from early 2025, supporting affordability.
