Greenville is moving toward a buyer's market, but anyone expecting a housing crash might be disappointed.

With mortgage rates around 7.57%, buyers are still waiting for relief that has yet to arrive. There are five scenarios that could change that, including cooler inflation, easing tariffs or geopolitical tensions, a recession, improved fiscal confidence, or a cheaper mortgage market, but some paths would come with a much bigger cost than others.As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at [email protected]

A median Greenville home payment has roughly doubled since 2021, while moving from a starter home to a modest step-up home can mean nearly tripling the payment.

Greenville is sitting at 4.3 months of inventory, and the market may be closer to a tipping point than it looks. With prices showing downward pressure, new construction undercutting resale homes, and demand facing serious headwinds, the path toward a buyer’s market is becoming harder to ignore.As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at [email protected]

Mortgage rates are moving back toward 7%, and that could put even more pressure on Greenville’s already rate-sensitive market.
