2024 Elections Are Already Impacting Local Real Estate

Election years always have a weird impact on real estate, and that's never been more true than this year. Not only are the Presidential elections impacting real estate (a well-known phenomenon that happens every four years), but in Greenville, more than ever, state and local races are proving to be hugely influential in things like development, infrastructure, etc. Long story short, we are entering a new era of Greenville and Spartanburg voters backing politicians who are more focused on conservative virtue signaling than on improving our state and county. It's not all doom and gloom - much of what is going to happen the next few years is already set in motion, and Greenville County and the SC as a whole will continue to remain great places to live - but don't expect elected officials in the upcoming years to have effective solutions for fixing infrastructure issues, improving housing affordability, etc. any time soon, particularly if the "penny sales tax" doesn't get a majority vote in November.
