As part of its intelligENCe: Economic Insight and Trends research series, the Greenville ENC Alliance has released the 2025 Real Estate: Housing report, which focuses on residential housing data in Greenville-Pitt County, along with metrics from North Carolina and the United States.
Almost two years ago, the organization released its first IntelligENCe research report, which, coincidentally, focused on housing. Since that first report, the research team has continued to refine its methodologies for collecting data and creating analytics, but most of the focus areas in the housing report remain the same.
“We continue to provide critical insights on how our market trends compare with state and national movements, as well as provide comparisons to other metro areas within the state,” explained Josh Lewis, president and CEO of the Greenville ENC Alliance. “While affordability is always subjective depending on the individual and circumstances, it is clear that in contrast to many other growing areas of North Carolina, Greenville and Pitt County present a very attractive housing market from a cost perspective.”
This report features the following key takeaways:
- Over the last several years, the Greenville MSA (Pitt County) has reemerged, beginning another decade of healthy population and job growth after a decade of stagnant growth.
- The Greenville MSA continues to expand its housing inventory, with almost 5,000 new permits issued over the last four years. Based on the size of the Greenville MSA’s average household, this is enough housing for approximately 11,000 residents.
- The area continues to create housing affordability amid growth by maintaining a healthy supply of new residential opportunities.
- Compared with other North Carolina MSAs, Greenville is the epitome of affordability amid growth.
