Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Darlington County real estate market. *
June 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Darlington County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge signaling a buyer’s market and inventory relatively ample. Months of supply sits at 6.3, notably above South Carolina’s 4.5 months, giving buyers more options and time to make decisions.
Prices show steady upward pressure even with this buyer-friendly tilt, as the typical home value is up about 6% year over year and rose more than 4% just since May. At the same time, the median list price is down compared with last year, suggesting sellers are pricing more competitively even as underlying values trend higher.
Activity has shifted in recent months, with active listings up nearly a quarter year over year while homes sold are down compared with last June. Homes are taking much longer to go under contract than a year ago, with the median days on market stretching into the 80s, yet more than 40% still leave the market within two weeks, and only about 10% are selling above list. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can use Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Darlington County’s current dynamics and can guide them through the process.

“I would not hesitate to recommend Abe Safa and his team to anyone needing a realtor. We needed to sell our beach condo and Abe and his team took care of everything from start to finish. I appreciate his professionalism, quick responsiveness and calm demeaner. He is a rock star and a heck of a nice guy. Thank you Abe!”
“"I first connected with Brian in February of 2024 when I was looking at condos in the Myrtle Beach area. He immediately began hunting for properties that fit my needs perfectly. Over the next couple of years, I made offers on at least three condos that were accepted but ultimately fell through for a variety of reasons—none of which were the fault of Brian or myself. I was ready to make a cash deal contingent on selling my own condo, and the setbacks were incredibly frustrating at times. Through it all, Brian hung in there with me and showed more patience than I ever could have mustered. When I was right on the verge of giving up, Brian kept sending me properties and told me not to get discouraged. He was adamant that the right place would come along and things would work out. He was exactly right. They finally did! Brian was there for every minute of the process. His people and communication skills are truly second to none. I am beyond happy that I met Brian— he went above and beyond”

“Christy Davis was an amazing realtor. She was so helpful in selling our property and extremely kind. She has a wealth of knowledge of the market in this area.

“To be honest with you, the Greg Harrelson-Century 21 Group did an Excellent job, ONLY when I switched agents from Joseph Barrientos to Jake Ross. Joseph really wasn't focused on the task at hand to sell my properties with my best interests. Also, Joseph wasn't a people person, more interested in his own personal interests and NO Communication at all, Not Acccessible at all. I would Not recommend him to anyone. I am Extremely Pleased and Satisfied with the performance and communication with Jake Ross and would Highly Recommend him to everyone !!!!”

“Brandy O'Neill was great! From the time I went under contract through design selections, inspections, closing, and even after closing, she was there every step of the way. She attended every meeting with me, providing support and always looking out for my best interests. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail during walkthroughs, often noticing things that I had overlooked.

I was so impressed with her compassion to do her best for her client, that I asked her to represent me in selling my old property. Following Laurie's lead thru the selling process, I had a contract after 5 days on market. Closed 35 days later. Laurie has a big heart for her clients. She is thorough, honest, straight forward & has excellent rapport in relationship/negotiation arena.”

With years of business experience dealing with people, we rely heavily on instinct-and our gut feeling about Lindsay proved to be absolutely right.
