How’s Our Market? Things look pretty promising in the Charleston, SC real estate market. Here are few key indicators from our Carolina One market share reports:

• Homes Closed are up 18% in the Tri-County
• Median Sales Price and Price/Sq Ft are both up 8% over last year
• List Price to Sales Price ratios are averaging about 95%
• Absorption Rate shows many areas are reflecting a Seller’s Market of less than a 5 month supply of homes on the market

In the Charleston County – comprised of Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston counties – homes closed were up 20% in 2012-2013 compared to the same time period the previous year. The average price per square foot is roughly $159 and the median sales price is $238K.

Here’s a look at the current active market by price range:

With less inventory each month and more buyer’s ready to capitalize on steady, low interest rates, this is clearly a seller’s market.

I took a look specifically at the Mount Pleasant area, as I do most of my buying and selling there, and here are some key stats in the first quarter of 2013:

• For 29464, there were 225 homes sold at an average sales price of $450K with an average days on market (DOM) of 99.
• For 29466, there were 204 home sales at an average sales price of $350K with an average DOM of 100. 

But, Mount Pleasant isn’t the only town with great numbers. I can also help you buy or sell in Charleston, Isle of Palms, James Island, West Ashley and beyond.
