Buyer traffic is surging again in the Upstate, with crowded open houses, renewed demand for larger lots, and activity levels that look more like early spring than late fall. But the market data is telling a slower, more cautious story. Inventory continues to climb, months of supply are rising, and affordability remains stuck just shy of the ideal threshold—even as mortgage rates ease and buyer behavior shifts.
