Market Summary 📊
In May 2026, Pickens County reflected a mixed but improving market. Sales activity remained below last year’s pace, but the month-over-month gain suggests renewed buyer movement following a softer April.
Pricing remained a bright spot, with both median and average sales prices above last year. Inventory also continued to build, giving buyers more options while pointing to a more balanced market overall.
Homes moved more quickly than they did in April, with days on market falling significantly month-over-month. However, cumulative days on market remained higher than last year. Well-positioned homes are still moving, while buyers have more room to compare options than they did a year ago.
