2016 was a great year for Charleston, SC and its real estate market.

We closed 17,736 transactions for residential properties (homes) in the Charleston Area. This is up by 9.05% over 2015 numbers and our 2nd busiest year ever. In addition, we closed 1,274 vacant land transactions, a similar number than in 2015.

In terms of median home price, we are up by 4.95% YTD over 2015 and the median sales price is now at $243,000 (see Median Price chart - click to enlarge).

While this is an all-time high, it is below the trend line running back to 1991. That trend line predicted we would be well over $250,000 by now. This tells us that we are still somewhat undervalued and have room for appreci...

Charleston Strong

Our real estate market here continues to do very well. New construction is prominent in several MLS areas including Johns Island and Mount Pleasant. However, new construction seems to be making its biggest strides in the Jedburg/Ridgeville area near the new Volvo plant that is under construction.

The Nexton community (developed by Westrock) is going to dwarf the already sizable Cane Bay subdivision. A new exit ramp is being built off I-26! Overall, the Tri-county areas are up 10.5% in number of transactions (year-to-date) over 2015. 2016 will likely record over 16,000 transactions , making this the 2nd busiest year ever.
