Yes, the spring selling market is absolutely still a thing — and March is not too early, it\'s the right time. Locally, the data backs this up. In Spartanburg, pending sales are up 1.2% and new listings are actually down 7.4% year-over-year, meaning buyer demand is outpacing supply. Less competition on the listing side right now is an advantage for sellers. In Greater Greenville, pending sales rose 6.1% heading into the new year with buyer activity clearly picking up. The sellers who win in this market are the ones who list before inventory builds. Waiting until April or May means more competition for the same pool of buyers. Price it right, present it well, and March is a great time to be on market.

Fir SC: Yes, the property can be sold from the trust, but the life tenant must sign off unless it\'s structured as an enhanced life estate (Lady Bird) deed. Always refer to a real estate attorney to review the specific trust document, the language in the trust controls everything.

This is a legal and immigration question that goes beyond real estate advice, so I\'d strongly recommend you consult an immigration attorney In the state you are intending to live in.
