Greenville, SC, is One of the Best Homebuying Cities for Managers

April 5, 2019

Some people follow their jobs to a new location. Others decide where they want to live and pursue their career from a newfound happy place. When you’re factoring in the possibility to affordably buy a home rather than long-term renting, PropertyShark and Cothran Homes have done some of the homework for you—and Greenville, SC, is one of the best homebuying cities for managers.PropertyShark’s research examined median living costs in cities across the U.S. Then they compared incomes for a long list of occupations to determine how much disposable income could be tucked away for a down payment on a home.Greenville ranked 8th of all cities where management professionals could follow a faster path to homeownership than many other metros. The median cost of living (including rent) is $4,351 per month. The monthly median income for someone in management is $6,283. That leaves $1,932 that can be put aside each month toward a down payment. With the median home value estimated at $282,900, it would take 30 months to save 20% of the purchase price ($56,850).Buy a home sooner with Cothran HomesWhy wait 2 ½ years to buy a home?
