  • 271: Vibe Check: what does Greenville real estate "feel like" right now?

    271: Vibe Check: what does Greenville real estate "feel like" right now?
    May 7 2025
    We love data on this show, but sometimes data doesn't tell you the whole story. Sometimes vibes shift before the data does, and there are definitely some vibe shifts happening right now, whether it's buyers ignoring smaller homes, appraisers struggling to appraise homes for contract prices, sellers trying to argue with their realtors about their home values, etc. I'm experiencing, and hearing from other realtors who are experiencing, a lot of new-ish things that are happening - things that aren't inherently uncommon in real estate but that are different than what we've had in recent years and that also don't usually all happen at the same time. So what are the vibes right now, and why do they matter? Tune in and find out!

  • 270: Exciting new developments are coming to Greenville

    270: Exciting new developments are coming to Greenville
    Apr 30 2025
    Downtown Greenville is already considered one of the best Downtowns in the Southeast, and it's about to get a lot better, as there are many planned redevelopment projects (some already in the works!) for adding great new places to hangout, shop, and eat to some of Greenville's most neglected areas.

    So let's talk about them! In this episode we discuss:
    1. The Greenville Gateway Project
    2. The County Square redevelopment
    3. The potential Poe Mill revitalization

    And we also get into the much maligned Inn at Altamont - a proposed resort hotel on Paris Mountain that is unlikely to ever see the light of day.

    This episode is best viewed on youtube, where you can see a bunch of renderings!

  • 269: Amidst uncertainty, the Greenville RE market sees stability

    269: Amidst uncertainty, the Greenville RE market sees stability
    Apr 23 2025
    One question we had entering 2025 was whether the lackluster end to 2024 was a sign of things to come or was a fluke result of a weird confluence of a 500 year storm (Helene), the Presidential elections, and standard seasonality.

    Now that we have data for the first quarter of 2025, it is apparent that 2024 was more of a fluke than anything, with 2025 (so far) seeing many homes being listed, prices going up, and closings increasing. So what exactly is happening? It appears the real estate market is showing some stability, with buyers and sellers settling into the current state of the economy, despite growing uncertainty for what lies ahead.

  • 268: Solving the termite problem in Greenville, SC

    268: Solving the termite problem in Greenville, SC
    Apr 16 2025
    The SE region of the United States is a termite hotspot, and the Upstate of SC (Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson and surrounding counties) is no exception. In SC realtors are constantly dealing with them, and I have three termite stories from the past few months that I'm eager to share.

    What I've learned from these stories is this: there are solutions to termites, but oftentimes the pest control company who is supposed to be treating the termites is just as much a part of the termite problem as they are the solution.

  • 266: Did the NAR just kill Zillow?

    266: Did the NAR just kill Zillow?
    Apr 2 2025
    Traditionally, there have only been two ways for a REALTOR® to list a home for sale - either exclusively to their company or openly on the MLS and internet. But the National Association of REALTORS® this past week announced a third way that they are going to allow homes to be listed - on MLS but without the listing being immediately syndicated out to other websites (like Zillow, homes.com, realtor.com, Redfin, etc.).

    Why would a seller want their home listed this way? Well, there are actually several scenarios where it could make sense, but I'm more interested in the big picture potential outcomes of this new policy. The aforementioned websites that rely heavily on MLS listings being syndicated to them would suffer badly if even 10% of listings didn't show up on their platforms. So in doing this, was the NAR shooting a "shot across the bow" at those websites, potentially threatening to end their reign atop the real estate information food chain? It's an interesting possibility and one we have to consider quite seriously.

    265: Is the Greenville real estate market heating up or cooling down? Yes.
    Mar 26 2025
    Greenville is in an interesting spot. The real estate market has clearly softened, something we've discussed a good bit in previous episodes, but we're also at the time of year where seasonality has a big impact on supply and demand. To say it another way, from now until Memorial Day is the peak time to buy or sell real estate! So it's not surprising that some of the market data coming in reflects both a weakening and a strengthening market. So which one is it, and in what direction does the market appear to be heading for the hot summer months? Let's discuss it in this week's episode of Selling Greenville!
