The National Association of Realtors dubbed Greenville (and the Upstate) one of the top ten real estate markets for 2023, and that looks to be holding true with one month off of the calendar.
Prices should continue to rise locally as our region continues its rapid pace of growth, with GVL’s cost of living + lifestyle drawing potential new residents in from out of state.
