Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS hi Paul... you're so right... it is what it is... that being said... for serious sellers it's a great market as we have more demand than homes, so homes are selling quickly and for top dollar. For buyers, less of a pretty picture. Happy Sunday to you.

Nina, You are right; the only people complaining around here are the bargain hunter buyers...

Will be interesting to see how sales react when things start to loosen up with showing restrictions and we get to see how the public feel about seeing homes etc.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 hi Nick... I've seen buyers more interested in looking at houses than sellers interested in letting strangers walk through their houses since restrictions have been loosened here.

Nina I am not surprised to see those figures.  I think many parts of the country are looking at very similar data as a result of COVID-19.

Hi Nina:

That was certainly a thorough and thoughtful overview of the Fort Mill, SC housing market. Seems like a pretty good time to be a seller given the demand and inventory.

Hi Nina Hollander - There will always be buyers and sellers but it is sometimes harder to find the right Realtor to help with the sale.  You know your market and can maneuver the stormy waters of today's market.

Jeff Dowler, CRS thanks, Jeff... and thanks for stopping by. Lack of inventory keeps homes moving especially in affordable price ranges, pandemic or no pandemic.
