Greenville, Anderson, and Clemson Realtor Nakeshia Shannon | Are look looking to Buy or Sell? Now Is the Time. African American Realtor If you’ve been thinking about buying a home in South Carolina, I want you to hear this: "now is still a great time to make your move" but timing and guidance matter more than ever.

Home prices have risen steadily across the state. In fact, we’ve seen about a 4.1% increase in values since this time last year, and in some areas, like Central SC, prices have jumped nearly 28% year-over-year. That’s a big shift—and it’s why waiting could cost you more down the line.

But this isn’t just about market stats. This is about you, your goals, your budget, and how I can help make homeownership feel less overwhelming and more possible.

So What Does This Market Really Mean for You?
