Here’s where SC home values will increase by 2027 — and by how much, Zillow forecasts

South Carolina is becoming increasingly popular, but average house prices in the Palmetto State have decreased over the past year.

Even so, homes in some SC housing markets are expected to see a significant increase in value, according to the most recent forecast from Zillow, a popular online housing marketplace.

Zillow’s latest forecast predicts home value changes across the nation over the next 12 months. By year’s end, house prices are expected to increase 0.7%, alongside a 4.4% increase in existing home sales in 2026 compared to the previous year.

The increase in home value is slightly lower than earlier predictions, as Zillow takes into account the housing market moving toward a balance of supply and demand, as new listings and sales are expected to increase at roughly the same pace.

On average, home prices in the U.S. are currently valued at $360,591, a 0.2% increase from last year.

The average SC home value is $300,562, which is a 0.2% decrease from last year, according to Zillow.

Seneca’s average home value is $297,748, up 1.7% since last year. Spartanburg saw a 2% increase in its home value year-over-year, and a house is now averaging $230,636. In contrast, Georgetown’s average home value decreased by 3% since last year, averaging $241,831.
