South Carolina’s Buy-Side Real Estate Market: Q2 2026 Analysis

Market Snapshot: Q2 2026

South Carolina's active inventory held near 44,000 listings through Q2 2026, with modest movement from 44,398 in April to 43,992 by June. Months of supply declined from 4.9 in April to 4.6 in May and 4.5 in June. The supply scale provides useful context: below 4 months typically signals a seller's market, where demand tends to exceed available inventory; the 4 to 6 month range characterizes a balanced market; above 6 months, conditions tend to favor buyers. At 4.5 to 4.9 months, South Carolina's Q2 2026 reading remained in balanced market territory throughout the quarter, reflecting a market where supply and buyer demand were closer to equilibrium than in most states.

Median sale prices rose from $349K in April to $350K in May and reaching $360K in June. Days on market registered 78 days in April, improved to 76 in May, then held at 77 in June, among the slower absorption paces in the national dataset and consistent with South Carolina's diverse mix of resort, retirement and residential markets.

Compared to Q2 2025, South Carolina's supply tightened despite starting the quarter at a higher level. Q2 2026 began April at 4.9 months against Q2 2025's 4.6, but declined through the quarter while Q2 2025 rose to 4.7 by June, ending with Q2 2026 0.2 months tighter. Active inventory grew 5.7% year over year. Median prices rose 2.8% from June 2025, and days on market extended by 6 days compared to June 2025's reading of 71.

Top 25 Buyer's Agents and Teams: Q2 2026 Rankings

Agent Pronto/CINC has ranked South Carolina's top 25 buyer's agents and teams based on total transaction volume in Q2 2026. This proprietary buy-side data reveals both high-volume operators and luxury specialists who dominate South Carolina's diverse real estate market.

What the Data Shows

South Carolina's Q2 2026 top 25 reflects the state's two distinct real estate character zones. The Charleston metropolitan area, encompassing the Historic Peninsula, Daniel Island, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms and Kiawah Island, generates virtually all confirmed high-value transaction addresses, with the 29401 zip code of Charleston's historic district accounting for a concentration of top-25 transactions. The broader South Carolina residential market, anchored in the Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach corridor, contributes most of the field's highest closing counts through a group of high-volume operators working accessible price segments.

The field's highest closing counts come from agents and teams working South Carolina's most active residential communities. Trina L Montalbano leads in closings with 91 transactions at a $316K median, the field's highest count and likely reflecting broad activity across the state's most active residential markets. Cinthia Villaneda contributed 70 closings at a $445K median, The Mills Group Team added 56 at $328K, Jason Husted contributed 53 at $348K, The Greg Sisson Team closed 46 transactions at $325K, and Sollecito Advantage Group added 45 at $325K. The Collins Group contributed 30 closings at an $853K median, and Chelsea Cathcart added 38 at $360K. These agents and teams account for the field's highest transaction counts, working price segments accessible for the South Carolina residential market.

The field's highest individual transaction values concentrate in and around the Charleston Historic Peninsula and its barrier islands. Ashley Severance leads the full rankings by total dollar volume with 18 closings at a $2.2M median and $57.2M in total volume, with three confirmed Daniel Island closings including a $9.25M property on Ralston Creek Street. Mary Lou Wertz contributed 6 closings at a $4.9M median, with confirmed Historic Charleston closings at three of the city's most prestigious addresses, including a $14.272M Legare Street property, the highest individual transaction in South Carolina's Q2 top 25. Robertson Allen closed 7 transactions at a $6.2M median, with three confirmed Historic Charleston closings including addresses on Orange Street and South Battery Street. Charles Sullivan contributed 6 closings at a $4.1M median, including an $8.0M New Street closing in the Historic District. Leslie Turner and Jimmy Dye each contributed closings in the $7M-plus range within the Historic District.

Median prices across the full top 25 run from $316K to $6.2M, and closing counts from 3 to 91. With 14 of 25 agents and teams carrying medians above $1M, South Carolina's field sits in the middle range of the national Q2 dataset. As with all dollar-volume rankings, the top 25 reflects the high-producing end of South Carolina's buyer's agent and team landscape rather than a cross-section of the full market.

Conclusion

South Carolina's Q2 2026 market tightened against the prior year despite starting April at a higher supply level, with months of supply declining from 4.9 to 4.5 as Q2 2025 rose from 4.6 to 4.7, both years remaining in balanced market territory. Prices grew 2.8% and days on market extended by 6 days. The top 25 buyer's agents and teams reflect a state where the Charleston Historic District and its barrier island communities generate the highest individual transaction values alongside high-volume operators working South Carolina's accessible residential markets. Agent Pronto/CINC's Q2 2026 rankings capture that range across South Carolina's active buyer's agent and team landscape.
