REAL ESTATE NEWS
Charleston real estate sales were a bit better in the Jan-June 2026 period than the same 2025 period. We were up 5.8% in transactions and the median price of closed sales was up 2.1%. Right now, the median price of homes and condos in Charleston is about $450k. Condos make up about 25% of our market. The median price of single-family homes only is naturally a bit higher at $485k. June was a very good month. Inflation has ticked up a good bit and it is unlikely that there will be any more rate cuts for the foreseeable future. South Carolina’s rapid population growth continues to fuel higher home prices and reshape housing demand. Mixed-use developments such as Downtown Nexton are expanding to meet growing demand. Industry leaders say job growth, infrastructure and lifestyle continue attracting new residents to the state.
Meanwhile, the Charleston economy is doing well. The UK’s Farnborough International Airshow is paying off for Boeing with orders for as many as 148 new planes on the first day of the annual event. Up to 48 of those planes will be built at the company’s North Charleston assembly site. The to-do list for North Charleston airplane builders grew by 19 on the second day of the Farnborough International Airshow. Boeing and AerCap announced on July 21 that the leasing industry’s biggest 787 Dreamliner customer placed a new order for 15 787-9 jets.
This latest purchase increases AerCap’s 787 Dreamliner portfolio to approximately 140 airplanes. At the same time, a new customer placed its first Dreamliner order, as Uganda Airlines joined Boeing to announce an agreement to buy four of the North Charleston-made 787s. After announcing the project in 2022, The Charleston Place in downtown Charleston announced the completion of the next phase in its $150M renovation project. The latest phase of the “reimagination” includes a new Club Level, a rooftop pool with garden bar, a redesigned arrival area and renovated guest rooms and suites. Breeze Airways will launch twice-weekly nonstop service between Charleston and Trenton, N.J., beginning Sept. 20. The new route provides Lowcountry travelers with convenient access to the Philadelphia and Delaware regions. Trenton becomes Breeze’s 29th nonstop destination from Charleston International Airport. Woodfield Development is constructing 285 apartments at Ashley Landing in West Ashley. The project is the developer’s 21st residential community in the Charleston region. Amenities include EV charging, pickleball courts, a saltwater pool, fitness facilities and pet-friendly features. The development is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2028.
Need anything, please reach out and enjoy these last weeks of summer…we’ll be cooking a turkey, too soon!

Charleston real estate sales were about the same so far in 2025 as 2024. Year to date, we are up 0.8% in transactions versus the same 2024 period. Median sales price is still strong with a 2.3% increase versus the same 2024 period. Median sales price for the area is now at $440k. Mortgage rates have moved back under the 6.3% level. The Fed did cut the rates one more time in early December. This has all been good news for real estate sales and we have seen a bit better buying activity in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the Charleston economy is booming. MUSC Health has recently opened its new Kiawah Partners Pavilion in Johns Island, serving the Sea Island communities. The facility began accepting patients on Dec. 18 and be open 24 hours a day with a freestanding emergency room, trauma and triage rooms, imaging and radiology services, on-site laboratory, helipad and medical offices for other patient services. Located in a historic circa 1806 building, Charleston natives are opening a new dining option in the French Quarter of downtown Charleston. Mike and Kathleen Shuler, with their business partner Nathan Wheeler, will open their all-day restaurant at 40 Broad St. The team said Quarter French will offer morning coffee, lunches and dinner with cocktails, all with influence from French cuisine. Redwood Materials, a lithium-ion battery recycler, has opened operations of its $3.5 billion facility on 600 acres of Camp Hall Commerce Park in the Lowcountry — regarded as the largest economic development project in the history of South Carolina. This is a small but significant start toward what will become one of the world’s largest recovery, refining and manufacturing campuses. Over the next decade, Redwood will continue to grow in South Carolina, creating more than 1,500 jobs. Modus21 will invest$1.1 million to expand its North Charleston operations. The expansion supports 80 new jobs and the company’s Cloud Innovation Lab. The firm provides commercial and defense technology consulting services.
I hope you have a great start to the new year and if you need anything please call or email me. If you closed on a home this year, make sure you applied for the 4% rate. It’s a BIG difference in your tax bill.

❤️Happy New Year!❤️
