Dr. Stan Humphries. “Tight inventory levels are leading to bidding wars and multiple offers across the country and in Columbia SC . Looking ahead, we expect to see less aggressive increases in the fall as rising home values lift some would-be sellers out of negative equity, allowing them to place their homes on the market.”
