Trump is officially the President of the US, and we are already starting to see some small ripples in the market as a result. But, perhaps more importantly (at least to a data nerd like me), we finally have our final 2024 Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® market stats to go over, and they point to some very interesting trends that happened in 2024. Which of these trends are likely to continue and which are likely to end up as more of a flash in the pan? Tune in to find out!

I hear people talk about realtors all the time in "code," saying things like, "He's aggressive," or "She's not as outgoing as I'd like her to be." The reality is that many people want a realtor who thinks and acts like them, but that can be a really bad reason to hire one.

So let's have some fun and analyze some of the common statements I hear, both negative and positive, towards realtors, and why people should think twice before choosing to hire (or not hire) a realtor based on those statements/opinions.

Greenville real estate is constantly evolving and shifting, but how? Everyone knows lot sizes are getting smaller, but what about garages? What about home sizes? Home ages? Foreclosures and short sales? 

There's a lot that is shifting in our market that we don't talk about often, but we will today! In this episode, Stan breaks down a TON of data from the past 3 years to show how (and discuss why) the Greenville, SC real estate market is shifting.

Merry Christmas! Around this time last year I made my bold predictions for 2024, and it's time to review how I did. There were some predictable outcomes but also some pretty big surprises. So what did I get right, what did I get wrong, and why?

Real estate is always crazy, but it seems like 2024 was particularly The Year of Crazy for Greenville real estate. We had hurricanes, volatile interest rates, recession concerns, a wild Presidential election, and A LOT more. As a realtor, my business was impacted by all of these things and some unhinged people I had to deal with, and the end result was I have some great stories to tell you from my year.

A lot changed in the world of real estate (and in Greenville) in 2024, and as we round out the year, we are left with more questions than answers. Is the government going to try to stimulate real estate sales? Is realtor compensation going to decrease in future months? Will Greenville County Council do things to help or hurt housing affordability? We cover these questions and many more as we discuss the future of Greenville real estate.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the data on what's happening in the Greater Greenville Area of SC has been messy, to say the least. A lot of listings, pendings, and closings got pushed into October and November, causing some oddities all across the data. That being said, for the second straight month, we saw a year-on-year decrease in the median home price. Does that mean anything, or is it the product of the "Helene effect"? It's hard to say, especially given that the average price of real estate made a massive leap and is now over $100,000 higher than the median. So what's really going on, and what does it mean for those active in Greenville real estate? Tune in for the full breakdown and some advice to buyers and sellers at the end.

If I'm going to be honest, 2024 was a very challenging year on many levels. But despite the challenges, there is still much to be thankful for, and as I've done in previous years, I want to share with my listeners ten things that I'm thankful for from the past year, with a little more of a personal spin than I've done in previous years. I hope you enjoy as you feast on turkey and delicious Thanksgiving sides!

X, formerly known as Twitter, can be a great place for information, but it can also be a terrible place for misinformation. Well, a great X/Twitter thread popped up on my feed recently discussing things that a first time homebuyer should and shouldn't when house searching. Some of the responses were spot on, and others were... not so helpful. So let's have some fun and talk about the thread and what it got right about home buying... and what it got wrong.
