Existing Columbia SC Home Sales Up

Existing Columbia SC home sales climbed to a 3 and a half year high in April, and all indications are they will continue to climb in May and June. However, rising interest rates are the concern now.

Along with Columbia SC home sales, Columbia SC home prices continued to climb with the S&P/Case-Shiller monthly home price indices for March (which actually covers the three month average of January, February and March prices) showing double-digit annual increases over the same period a year ago.

Economists, however, are still cautiously bullish for two main reasons. First is the fact that near-record low mortgage rates have made home buying more affordable. The second is all the pent-up demand in the housing market after years of sluggish sales.
