Housing Trends to Watch
As we step into April, Bluffton’s real estate market remains steady, holding a neutral position that favors neither buyers nor sellers. Inventory is gradually rising—up 1.8% year-over-year to 851 homes—but still sits well below pre-pandemic norms.
Homes are now spending an average of 74 days on market, up from 69 days this time last year. This shift is largely due to increased inventory, giving buyers more options and time to make decisions.
So far in 2025, we’ve seen 249 closed sales, matching last year’s pace. With current inventory levels, we’re looking at a 6.8-month supply—up from 6.6 months. This trend hints at a market leaning toward buyer-friendly conditions if inventory growth continues.
Prices, however, continue to rise. The median home price in Bluffton has reached $587,500—an 11.8% jump from a year ago. Demand remains strong, fueled by Bluffton’s continued popularity as a great place to live, work, and retire.
On the national front, the housing market has shown renewed momentum in early 2025, despite lingering concerns over affordability. Recent declines in mortgage rates, tied to shifts in Treasury yields, could further support buyer activity heading into summer.
Bluffton remains a market to watch—and a place people continue to choose for its lifestyle, charm, and long-term value. Please call Jeff or Johnny if you are looking to make a move.
Our Thanks,
Johnny & Jeff
