James Island real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the James Island real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
James Island is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 25 even though conditions are not overly heated. With about 7.1 months of supply and 57 homes on the market, buyers have more time to decide, yet sellers still have some leverage.
Home values and asking prices are adjusting, which helps explain this balance. The typical home value sits around $485,000, down about 19.5% from a year ago and more sharply month over month, while the median list price of $575,000 has fallen roughly 14.8% since last month. By comparison, Charleston County’s typical home value is higher at about $600,000. Projections point to James Island’s typical value near $385,625 and a median list price around $525,050 next month.
Activity on the ground shows a slower but still functioning market. Homes spend a median of 64 days on the market, up about 25.49% from last year but slightly faster than last month, with only about 12.5% selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.95. Inventory is edging up, rising about 7.55% month over month, while new listings are down roughly 39.13% and pending sales are up 4.55% from a year ago. Whether you are a buyer navigating these shifts or a seller aiming to price wisely, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands James Island’s trends.
