Looking at the sales data from the Sumter Property Appraiser through the end of November certainly doesn't support a reported drop in sale prices.

Looking strictly at homes that sold after 1/1/23 and were again re-sold in 2024, the average price increase was over 18%. True, this is a decline from the wild increases we were seeing before 2023, but if you can re-sell your home after a year and make 18%, I'd say you're doing pretty well.
