Alans Listings

The Charleston, SC residential real estate market is behaving like most markets in the U.S. - supply is very low and demand is very high, which causes extreme buyer competition and rising home prices.

However, real estate is "hyper-local" and there are some differences between different areas of town.

The following table illustrates the "Months of Inventory" (also called "Months of Supply") index for the different MLS areas in our metro area (click image to view full size).

[We define a "neutral" or "balanced market one with 6 months of inventory. In such a market the same number of homes come on the market as the number that go under contract, so supply and demand are balanced. By c...

Located a mere half of a mile off of Interstate 26, 5 miles from historic Summerville, 25 miles from downtown Charleston, and 35 miles from the beach, the Nexton community is perfectly nestled in its own subdivision just a short distance from schools, hospitals, recreation, shopping, dining, entertainment, and transportation.

MOUNT PLEASANT — South Carolina’s fourth-largest city has adopted controversial limits on the number of new homes that would be allowed each year, immediately slashing home construction by a third compared to recent years.

The rules were adopted after hours of debate, numerous amendments and pleas from home builders and real estate professionals to delay, change or reject the plan. They said the rules would drive up housing prices, cause economic harm to small home builders and town residents who work for them, and potentially get the town sued.

“This could ruin me, financially,” said resident Jeff Meyer, who said he’s ...

The real estate market is dynamic (ever-changing). In addition, real estate is "hyper-local", meaning that while the metro area may be behaving in a certain way (as a whole), sub-market areas may be behaving differently. The conventional wisdom says that 6 Months of Inventory (or a range from 5 to 7) corresponds to a "balanced" or "neutral" market, where the same numbers of homes come on the market than are sold in a given month, therefore the inventory is steady, there are no price fluctuations, and both buyers and sellers have the same amount of leverage. Above 7 months is a "buyer's market" as there are many available listings and not enough buyers (home prices tend to fall). Below 5 m...
