📈 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.
