Graph No. 1 - Median Sales Price

The price gap between Mount Pleasant and the rest of the Charleston Area continues to widen (see Graph No. 1 - click to magnify).

However, the "supply and demand" Months of Inventory curves have once again intersected (see Graph No. 2 - click to magnify). In the past, this "crossing" has been a precursor to a market shift. While inventory is still low, if history repeats itself and absorption in Mount Pleasant goes up past 6 months' inventory, we may experience a market correction in Mount Pleasant, normally ollowed by a market correction in the rest of the Charleston Area 12-18 months' after.
