Inventory in Charleston County has been growing modestly, with 2,672 homes available and a 4.95% rise from the prior month, while still sitting below last year by 2.27%. Pending sales reached 724, down 19.11% year over year, and 848 new listings also trailed last year’s pace by 18.7%, signaling a slower contract flow even as options expand for shoppers.
Prices are adjusting to this cooler demand, as the typical home value dipped to about $600,000, down 6.98% from a year ago and 8.05% from the prior month. List prices, however, are holding slightly firmer, with a median of $672,450 and a modest 0.48% month‑over‑month uptick, while only about 9% of homes are selling above list and roughly 20% have had a price cut.
Conditions still lean toward sellers with a market gauge of 37 and about 5.1 months of supply, yet homes are taking longer to move, spending a median of 102 days on market, up 56.92% from last year. Compared with the broader South Carolina typical home value of $376,100, Charleston County remains higher‑priced, even with a projected softening to $573,750 next month and an expected inventory rise to 2,735 homes.
