April Market Brief – Pickens County Highlights

June 25, 2026

Market Summary 📊

In April 2026, buyer activity showed modest growth, with closed sales rising 2.1% year-over-year and month-over-month, indicating steady but not accelerated demand compared to prior periods.

Home prices reflected a split trend: the median sales price declined 14.6% year-over-year and edged down 0.3% month-over-month, while the average sales price decreased 2.1% annually but increased 5.1% month-over-month, suggesting continued strength in higher-end transactions despite broader price softening.

Housing supply continued to expand overall, with active listings, months’ supply, and select listing activity increasing year-over-year and month-over-month. However, new listings declined both annually and monthly, pointing to a slight slowdown in fresh inventory entering the market even as overall availability remains elevated.
