Greenville SC Real Estate
The thing to keep in mind about Greer is that it covers a lot of ground. While the neighborhoods I mentioned above are relatively close to Greenville, you can take off heading north to some other fine neighborhoods that are not so close to Greenville. The Lake Robinson area comes to mind. Home values and lot prices have exploded here. Lake Robinson is basically a wake free lake with the horsepower limited to 9.5. No jet skis here... Lakefront property has climbed. You will find pricing for a decent lake front lot between 250-300 thousand. If you can find one...
Another attractive draw from Greer is some of it's schools. The schools are one reason the resale in older areas like Sugar Creek have kept strong. I will mention a few schools that I hear people comment on. Buena Vista Elementary, Riverside High, Eastside High, JL Mann High just to name a few. Greer is a great area, again as close or far away from Greenville as you want to be. Like so many small towns that surround Greenville, Greer has done much work on it's downtown. This area is commonly know as Greer Station and has numerous restaurants, businesses and things to do.
Now there are many homes in various price ranges and amenities for the buyer to choose from. Just a few statistics for you from the Greenville MLS as of December 29, 2007:

The average price is $273,061
There were 1306 homes sold year to date

Average sales price to list price was 94%
Currently there are 24 homes for sale with an average list price of $976,070

The take: Don't be fooled by a 94% sales to list price. Thornblade has some older homes that affect this. If it's in good shape and updated, expect to pay close to list. Greer's first premier community. When started lots were $50,000 and that seemed high. There are some grand estates there now and Thornblade Country Club is beautiful. You do not have to be a member to live in Thornblade. Beautiful landscaping, gardens and scenes. This is a very popular neighborhood consisting of condos, single family detached and gated communities including The Enclave and The Gardens at Thornblade. Great schools!!
