Here’s where home prices in SC will rise the most into 2025 — and by how much, Zillow predicts

South Carolina home prices have already risen in 2024 and may continue to do so through early 2025, a new forecast shows.

Zillow, a popular online real estate marketplace, recently released its home prices forecast for the next 12 months. The forecast calls for 1.9% growth in U.S. home prices over 2024. Zillow notes that while prices will rise, the jump will be slower than long-term norms.

The U.S. has already seen home prices rise this year — 1.1% month-over-month between February and March, according to Zillow. And U.S. home prices were up 4.6% in March, year-over-year.
