At 11 for tonight the Upstate has found its way into the national spotlight tonight
a family's move to the Greenville area was featured on HGTV'*** show House
Hunters.
Wyff news 4 Parul Joshi is here on the story and Perul this family chose the Upstate
over some major metropolitan areas right?
that's right Michael from Atlanta to Kailua-Kona
in Hawaii, the Devore family considered a lot as cities before moving here,
but in the end they said the Greenville area offered them so much more.
Scott and Misty Devore,their two daughters, Misty's parents ,4 dogs and two cats
moved cross country this summer
and Wednesday night they were featured on HGTV'*** show
House Hunters. It was just something fun to do a once in a lifetime experience
for us
From Denver Colorado to Easley the Devores considered a lot of places in between
including Charlotte Greensboro Atlanta and Jacksonville
Dallas and Kauai-koan Hawaii. The Devores were searching for change,
especially in weather. Our older daughter has different medical
challenges and one of them is having to do with respiratory.
Coming down here she doesn't have to work as hard
to be able to breath. And after one visit the Devores said they were sold
ultimately choosing a house in Easley's Middle Creek subdivision
We just fell in love with the area, the downtown is is gorgeous and it's just
it's not too big, it's big enough where it has all the amenities
of the big city but its but has that small town feel. The average sales price in Greenville is
about 186 which is an
all-time high so is just a very exciting time to be in Greenville.
The Devore's realtor David Painter says the family's debut on national television
could be a boost for the area down the road.
House Hunters made two trips to the Greenville area from California so I
think that just says a lot that they were willing to
invest the time and the expense to come to the area.
For now the Devores are happy just embracing a new way
of life. Here we've made more friends in
you know just a few months because of the culture, the southern culture than we
made in
years in Denver. The Devores' realtor David Painter tells us the Greenville
housing market is seeing a good balance between those selling and buying
houses right now,
with 25 percent more sales compared to this time
last year, only about three percent away from the peak in 2008, Carol
Thanks for Perul.
