South Carolina’s housing industry continues to serve as a powerful engine for economic growth, supporting thousands of jobs, generating billions in economic activity, and strengthening communities across the state, according to a new Economic Impact of the Housing Industry report released by South Carolina REALTORS® (SCR).

The report shows that the South Carolina housing industry generates an annual economic impact of approximately $77.5 billion, supports 278,745 jobs and provides $12.7 billion in labor income for residents. The report also highlighted the state’s population growth, which is first in the nation.
“Throughout the 2020s, South Carolina has consistently had one of the fastest population growth rates in the nation, which continues to drive strong demand for housing across the state. Given that nearly nine out of every 10 homebuyers work with an agent or broker, real estate professionals continue to be a crucial factor in ensuring that South Carolina’s growing population can find housing, build wealth through homeownership, and support vibrant communities,” said Von Nessen.

The real estate sector accounts for approximately 55% of the housing industry’s total impact, and totals nearly $43 billion in economic output, according to the report. Housing-related activity supports jobs across numerous sectors, generates substantial labor income, and contributes significantly to state and local economic prosperity. As South Carolina continues to attract new residents, businesses, and investment, housing remains a cornerstone of the state’s continued success.

“The economic benefits of housing reach every corner of our state and represent almost 20% of South Carolina’s total economy,” said SCR CEO Nick Kremydas. “Investing in housing is investing in jobs, economic opportunity, and stronger communities.”

All data in this report is sourced from South Carolina Realtors® (SCR) as of June 2026.

York, Lancaster, Chester and Chesterfield County residential sales trends for single-family, condo, and townhome properties.

According to data from Canopy MLS, as of December 2025, for the York-Lancaster-Chester SC micro region, just south of Charlotte, NC, improving inventory levels and increased transaction volume were contributing factors to a rise in prices at a more sustainable pace.

The Report shows that closed sales for the region increased 7.2 percent over 2024 to a total of 6,624 transactions, and all four counties experienced sales growth in 2025. Inventory expanded 49.1 percent with New Construction accounting for 28 percent of properties on the market.

The Counties Report also shows pricing conditions remained resilient throughout 2025. Median sales price rose over 2024, while the average sales price increased approximately 3.3 percent to $441,803, which reflects a continued demand for housing across the region despite affordability challenges. Homes continue to receive just under full asking price at 98.2 percent. The average days on market increased 30 percent from 2024 to 52 days, providing buyers with more time for decision-making and negotiation compared to the fast-paced conditions of recent years.

“Looking back on 2025, the market demonstrated a healthy recalibration,” said Colleen Coesens, a Canopy MLS Board Director and Realtor®/Broker with EXP Realty, Rock Hill. “Inventory growth gave buyers more flexibility, while steady price appreciation showed that demand remained intact. As we move into 2026, these fundamentals position the region for a more balanced and sustainable year ahead.”

Colleen adds, “With inventory rebuilding and mortgage rates expected to stabilize in 2026, both buyers and sellers are entering the new year with clearer expectations. This environment encourages thoughtful decision-making and supports long-term market stability.”

Canopy MLS closes with, “As the region enters 2026, market metrics point toward continued normalization. Inventory levels remain well above recent lows, price growth has moderated, and demand remains steady, setting the stage for a housing market defined less by urgency and more by balance and opportunity”.

Waterfront Home values continue to rise along with inventory which is something you don’t see very often in the Real Estate Market, Average Home prices are in excess of 1.7 Million Dollars

Strong demand has cooled a bit and  Homes are selling below the 50 day mark with inventory  around 80 Homes for sale. Overall it’s a pretty balanced market,

If your interested in Buying or Selling give the Pro’s a call.

In addition to the longer time on the market, there are more homes on the market giving buyers more choices than they have had in a long time. There are now 4,667 homes listed for sale, up to a 1.3 month supply of inventory. This is a far cry from the 4-6 month supply which signals a balanced market between buyers and sellers. This means that we are still in the persisting sellers market.

From this same report from the Canopy Realtor Association, you can see data for the Lake Wylie area. When you look into the numbers, you see some of the same trends. Homes are staying on the market for an average of 41 days before going under contract. This is up 141.2% from the 17 day average last May.

Prices seem to be holding steady in Lake Wylie. Average sales prices are down just 0.1% to $604,508. Sellers are still getting an average of 98.6% of list price from their homes. We are seeing a slowdown in the market, which typically happens during the summer months, but didn’t happen last year in the frenzy of sales before this slowdown.

This slowdown doesn’t mean that now is a bad time to list your home. It just means that you have to be prepared that it could take a month or more before you get a contract on your home instead of getting multiple offers the first day.
