Charleston real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Charleston real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year over year, typical home values in Charleston have edged down about 3.65 percent, landing near $185,000 in March 2026. Inventory is still slightly higher than a year ago, up about 7.92 percent to 109 homes, even though new listings have fallen roughly 14.75 percent. Compared with Kanawha County’s typical value of $175,000, Charleston’s prices sit higher but have seen a milder annual decline than the county’s 7.89 percent drop.
In the latest month, homes were listed at a median price of about $184,450, with prices up around 2.47 percent from February. Buyers are taking longer to commit, as the median time on market reached 46 days, up both 9.52 percent month over month and sharply higher than a year ago, while roughly 29 percent of listings saw a price cut and only 10 percent sold above list.
Even with a seller’s market reading of 23 and about 3.6 months of supply, sellers are often accepting around 93 percent of their list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.93. Activity stayed steady with 48 pending sales and 52 new listings in March, and projections for April point to a slight dip in inventory to about 103 homes and a modest rise in the median list price to roughly $186,675, even as the projected typical home value softens to $165,000. In a market where indicators point in different directions for buyers and sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with an agent who understands how to navigate these trends.

“Shanan was absolutley FANTASTIC every step of the way in selling my property!! Very knowledgeable, very professional, and so willing to answer any questions or concerns on my end. Most importantly for me was her GREAT communication thoughout the entire process. I was nervous and had a million questions when I thought about selling my house. Looking back on it now, I see that when you work the right realestate professional, there is nothing to worry about. Shanan made the process effortless!! She is truly the the best!! I strongly recommend Shanan whether you are selling or buying!!”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff. From the beginning his approach was thoughtful and well-planned. The marketing was outstanding with beautiful photography, great drone shots, and a listing description that truly captured our home. Jeff was strategic in how he positioned and marketed everything, set clear expectations, and kept us informed throughout the process. He was always responsive and brought a level of knowledge and confidence that made the experience feel smooth and extremely well-managed especially with my Type A personality! We went under contract within just a few days, received multiple offers, and sold for over asking, which we were so happy with. His assistants Ashli, Hannah, and Brenna were also fantastic to work with and made everything that much easier along the way. We would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking to sell or buy!”

“A overall great experience, we highly recommend Jerry. A true professional!!!”

“I can’t imagine there’s a better agent on Earth than Barrett. We first met him while casually exploring a move from San Diego to Florida, just walked in the office he works at—no pre-approval, probably not looking like serious buyers. Still, he treated us like top-priority clients from day one and always took us at our word. For 2 years, before we were even approved, Barrett stayed committed and worked hard for us the entire time. Within 2 weeks of approval, we bought a home that lined up with the intentions we had been projecting all along—proving we were serious all along. His only “weakness” is that his patience and work ethic are so strong they could be taken advantage of. No doubt in my mind: Barrett is the best. He deserves a medal.”

“Amy was amazing. She was available all times of the day, responded very quickly. One thing I really liked about Amy was that she shared her opionion as well as all types of options, but ultimately she left the decision up to us. I would recommend Amy to any buyer or seller in the area.”

“Bruce Montgomery is a phenomenal person & realitor!! We met him during an open house 12 years ago & we're so grateful we did! He sold us our very first home 12 years ago and now has helped us sell that home, as well as find our new dream home! He is so much more than just a great realtor, he's a great person! He is incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, friendly and kind to everyone, even our children we often brought along to showings. Very professional & respectful. He also has an abundance of knowledge & recommendations which made the process so much better! There are not even words for how much we appreciate him & all he has done for us and to make a stressful life's moment so much easier because of his kind dedication to helping us. I would HIGHLY recommend utilizing Bruce Montgomery as your agent, whether it's to sell, buy or both!

“Troy went above and beyond to find me a great home. He had extensive knowledge and made sure that all of my "must haves" were met, and more. I felt very at ease with Troy, as he was able to manuver a tricky market and get me in a place that felt great. He walked me through every step of the way with truth and direct communication, and made moving into my first home feel like I was prepared for every step of the way. I would highly recommend Troy for your real estate needs!”

“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”
