The School of Real Estate at the Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina, recently released a new publication, the Summer 2009 Housing Market Report, which features a housing market forecast developed by Joseph C. Von Nessen, Ph.D. and Dr. Doug Woodward. Dr. Woodward recently gave a housing market forecast to members of HBASC at the State Convention in downtown Greenville. Highlights include:
-Housing in South Carolina remains a good investment. Housing prices have continued to appreciate through the recession, and housing affordability is the highest it has ever been in South Carolina.
-Leading indicators show that the economic slowdown is coming to an end, or "bottoming out."
-A recovering economy will not bring with it a return to the levels of housing demanded in the mid-2000's.
-The high affordability of housing in South Carolina means that for our state, it will be one of the first industries to recover from the recession.
