National Market Report

Across the United States, existing-home sales have experienced modest but meaningful growth. According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), existing-home sales rose 1.5% month-over-month and 4.1% year-over-year, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million units. Much of this improvement can be attributed to declining mortgage rates, which recently hit their lowest level in over a year. Lower rates improve affordability and encourage hesitant buyers to reenter the market, creating a more active and competitive landscape.

Regionally, monthly sales increased in the Northeast, South, and West, while the Midwest saw a slight decline. Interestingly, the Midwest led the nation in year-over-year gains in median sales prices, followed by the Northeast and South. The West experienced relatively flat price growth during the same period. Nationally, housing inventory edged up 1.3% from the previous month to 1.55 million units, representing a 14% increase compared to last year. This reflects a 4.6-month supply at the current sales pace, indicating the market is gradually moving toward balance while still slightly favoring sellers. The median existing-home price grew 2.1% year-over-year to $415,200, showing that while supply is slowly increasing, demand remains strong enough to sustain price growth.

 

Greenville, SC Market Report

Here in the Greater Greenville, SC area, the housing market reflects some of the national trends while also highlighting local dynamics. November saw a significant rise in new listings, up 21.9% to 2,324 homes, giving buyers more options than in recent months. Overall inventory in Greenville also grew, increasing 45.2% to 6,601 units, which provides a welcome shift for buyers who have faced limited choices in previous months.

Despite the higher inventory, pending sales declined by 34.4% to 869, suggesting that buyers are approaching the market with caution. Factors such as seasonal slowdowns, changes in mortgage rate expectations, and more available options are contributing to slower decision-making. Prices, however, continued to trend upward. The median sales price in Greenville rose 2.9% to $323,000, while the average days on market remained steady at 54 days. The absorption rate increased 42.4% to 4.7 months, indicating that the local market is gradually stabilizing without losing the momentum that favors sellers.

 

What This Means for Home Buyers

For buyers, the current market presents an opportunity to act strategically. The increase in inventory means more choices and less competition, reducing the likelihood of bidding wars that were common in previous months. Lower mortgage rates also improve affordability, making it a good time for qualified buyers to lock in financing. With homes staying on the market slightly longer and pending sales slowing, buyers have more time to weigh options, tour properties, and negotiate favorable terms.

However, caution is still warranted. While the market is becoming more balanced, desirable homes in Greenville and other competitive areas can still move quickly. Buyers should remain proactive, get pre-approved for a mortgage, and work with knowledgeable real estate professionals to identify homes that provide both value and long-term appeal. Homes that have been on the market for a longer period could present strong opportunities for negotiation, but timing and preparation are key to taking advantage of these situations.

 

What This Means for Home Sellers

Sellers in November 2025 are navigating a market that is shifting but remains favorable. The rise in inventory means that sellers must be intentional about pricing and marketing to stand out among a growing number of homes for sale. Accurate pricing, professional photography, and careful staging remain essential to attract the right buyers quickly. While demand remains healthy, buyers are becoming more selective, which emphasizes the importance of a strong first impression.

The steady price growth in Greenville, coupled with days on market holding consistent, signals that sellers who prepare their homes effectively and price them competitively can still achieve successful sales. Even in a market where inventory is rising, homes that are properly presented, marketed strategically, and listed with the guidance of experienced real estate professionals continue to sell at favorable prices.

 

Final Thoughts

The November 2025 real estate market is showing signs of balance, with both national and local data indicating stabilization. Nationally, rising inventory and slower but steady price growth point toward a market that is gradually moving toward equilibrium. Locally, the Greater Greenville SC market mirrors these trends, offering buyers more choices while still providing sellers the ability to achieve solid results with the right strategy.

For buyers, the current climate represents a chance to explore opportunities with more flexibility and less competition. For sellers, thoughtful preparation and market-savvy pricing are essential to stand out in a slowly expanding inventory. Whether you are buying, selling, or simply tracking the market, staying informed and working with experienced real estate professionals can make all the difference in navigating this evolving landscape. The November 2025 real estate market reflects a period of opportunity and strategy—a time for both buyers and sellers to make informed decisions with confidence.
