Ka-boom:


A key indicator of economic health rose noticeably in South Carolina in October, and most notably in the Greenville area.

Compared to October 2011, sales of residential homes and condos in the area rose 35 percent in October to 660 homes sold, according to the S.C. Association of Realtors.

FHA is a joke. As are most government programs; bloated, lethargic, disconnected.

Was October 2011 artificially depressed or is this true organic growth?

I talk and work with builders every day. This is true growth. The demand is high and sales are great. Most spec homes are sold before the house is finished. The market in Greenville County is remarkable.

Well I just read another article that says they will not need a Bailout & have not asked for assistance since Hoover was President. I think our market is definitely growing & homes have been selling. There aren't near as many homes on the market & people are sometimes seeing multiple offers. New homes are selling well also.

Also selling well are new custom homes priced above 500,000. Appraisals on existing homes are showing a good rebound too.

We just signed an offer-to-purchase contract for our townhome (less than $200,000) on eastside of Greenville. Was listed for less than 3 weeks. If it doesn't fall through, it will be in the January, 2013 stats.
