Summary

Investment transaction activity is increasing, focusing on standalone QSR building and Walmart-anchored strip centers, though interest rate volatility continues to suppress deal execution. Greenville-Spartanburg is one of the few areas of the state in which inflation-adjusted consumer spending remains on the rise, a trend likely to continue as wage gains outpace inflation and the region adds new jobs rapidly.
