It’s too soon to
share any hard data for the first quarter but we can say 2021 Aiken County
homes prices rose by 19.5 % which was about 5% more than 2021.
That was remarkably
higher than predicted.
Vikki and I have shared
earlier this year interest rates would rise, which they have, so no real
surprise there. At the time of this video,
they are hovering around 4.5% .
Millennial buyers
were overall one the largest groups of buyers this past year and on the
opposite side of the spectrum, boomers were one the largest groups of sellers.
The south is still
one of the stronger regions for home sales. It’s all that southern charm…. lower
cost of living and affordable home prices, when you compare to the rest of the
US.
New construction
homes are experiencing delays in their closing dates due to material shortages.
Material prices increased a fair amount which is in turn, driving up the cost
of new construction homes. This makes resale homes an attractive alternative.
That is true but The
Central Savanah River Area (CSRA), in order words both sides of the Savannah
River are experiencing demand for homes and there is a low amount of housing
inventory.
We really do mean
low and we have buyers seeking homes. Relocating out of the area, want to
downsize, up-size, just don’t like your home anymore or trying to decide what
to do? It’s a big decision, we know.
