On this episode of My Greenville Home, Hamilton and Company Team Leader Dan Hamilton shares a June 2021 Market Update and talks with Doug Johnson, owner of BlocHaven Rock Climbing Gym in Greenville.
BlocHaven is a premiere rock climbing gym in the Historic Judson Mill District on 701 Easley Bridge Road, the first of many businesses to open in the area and only a mile west of downtown Greenville. The state-of-the-art gym features over 25,000 sq. ft. of bouldering and top rope climbing designed with the whole family in mind. More than a climbing gym, BlocHaven is a community and fitness hub. In addition to rock climbing for all skill levels, BlocHaven features a standard strength training and cardio gym, a café serving coffee, smoothies, and snacks, and extensive floor level and mezzanine seating areas perfect for remote work and socializing.

Housing inventory is currently down 32% from last year. If you remember this time last year, we in South Carolina were just coming out of the COVID lockdown and homes were slowly coming back on the market. Inventory this year is down even compared to that! Last week we talked about Buyer Fatigue and that is most definitely a result of these numbers. However, Dan expects to see a modest increase in inventory over the next month.
Another great indicator is the "days on market" metric. This measurement really helps potential sellers understand the nature and pace of the current market. This time last year, homes were on the market an average of 59 days. This year, homes are on the market for only 36 days, nearly a 40% decrease from last year. What does this mean? When you put your home on the market, be ready to move! It will probably sell very quickly.
