Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in August 2026, Charleston’s home values are notably higher than a year ago, with the typical home value up more than 5 percent year over year. Homes sold surged roughly 43 percent from last year, while active listings climbed about 15 percent, signaling more buyers and more options in the market at the same time.
In this recent window, the typical home value sits around $650,000, with a median list price near $618,000, showing sellers still pricing firmly even as asking prices have eased slightly from early summer. Median days on market have edged up to 68 days from a year ago, and only about 13 percent of homes are selling above list price, suggesting buyers have a bit more negotiating room than in the past couple of years.
Even with more inventory, Charleston remains tilted toward sellers, reflected in roughly 3.1 months of supply and an average sale-to-list ratio just over 98 percent. With nearly 1,100 homes sold and around 900 pending sales in this rolling three-month period, activity is steady and nuanced, making local expertise especially valuable. Agent Pronto can connect buyers looking for value and sellers aiming to maximize their sale with an experienced Charleston agent who understands these current conditions.
Learn more about what Charleston has to offer.
Charleston offers residents a rich blend of historic charm, walkable neighborhoods, a thriving arts and culinary scene, waterfront recreation, and a welcoming community spirit.
Charleston combines Atlantic waterfront scenery with a compact, walkable historic core and fast-growing suburban neighborhoods. From downtown’s cobblestone streets to newer communities in Mount Pleasant and North Charleston, residents find a range of housing options, commute choices, and daily conveniences.
Living here is as much about access as it is about atmosphere. Commuters rely on CARTA transit and main routes like I‑26 and Route 17, while frequent flyers use Charleston International Airport. Everyday errands are simple, with grocery, healthcare, and schools woven into established neighborhoods such as West Ashley and James Island.
Quality of life is anchored by public spaces and culture. Locals spend weekends on the water at Waterfront Park or James Island County Park, explore history at Fort Sumter, and enjoy performances at the Gaillard Center. Families appreciate access to schools across the Charleston County system and learning spaces like the South Carolina Aquarium.
With distinct neighborhoods, flood considerations, and a competitive market, local insight really matters. A knowledgeable Charleston agent can explain street‑by‑street nuances, from parking rules to short‑term rental ordinances, and help you compare in‑town living with nearby barrier islands such as Isle of Palms. Agent Pronto connects you with the right local expert so buying or selling in Charleston becomes more informed, efficient, and less stressful for both buyers and sellers.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.
