Is South Carolina housing finally becoming affordable? Interest rates have moved, inventory has shifted — but the headline numbers don't tell the full story. Here's what the actual data says.

In this episode, Gary Pickren digs into the real state of housing affordability in South Carolina, breaking down what's actually happening with interest rates, home prices, and inventory levels.

What's covered:

• The real story behind current South Carolina interest rates and home prices — what the data actually shows vs. what the headlines say
• South Carolina-specific housing market trends: inventory levels, affordability ratios, and what's driving local price movement
• How refinancing activity is affecting the SC housing supply and what that means for buyers competing for homes
• Legislative efforts aimed at improving housing affordability in South Carolina — and why a supply-focused approach is the only one that actually works
