Finding Your Charleston Home with Jon Crompton

10/14/2026

Here's your monthly recap of what happened in the Charleston tri-county real estate market this September, how it compares to September 2025, and what it means if you're buying or selling.

📊 September 2026 Highlights (Year-Over-Year):

💰 Median Sales Price: $425,000 (up 0.6% from last September)

💵 Average Sales Price: ~$699,000 (up 10.7%)

⏱️ Average Days on Market: ~54 days (up 6.5%)

📦 Months of Supply: ~3.8 months

🏘️ Active Listings: 5,835 (up 3.3%)

✅ Homes Under Contract: 1,300 (up 2.8%)

🔑 Closed Sales: 1,550 (up 10.1%)

More homes sold this September than last, but prices held essentially flat. The median moved less than 1% year over year. The big jump in the average price tells us more higher-end homes closed, not that typical homes got more expensive. Homes are also taking a few extra days to sell, and inventory is slightly higher. For buyers, that means a bit more room to negotiate than a year ago. For sellers, pricing right from day one matters more than ever.

If you're buying or selling in Charleston, Berkeley, or Dorchester County and want to know what this means for your situation, reach out. Happy to talk through it.

Mount Pleasant Real Estate Market Update — Week of October 5–12

Here's what's happening in our local market this week:

🏘️ 415 active listings across all of Mount Pleasant (condos, townhomes, single family homes)

📝 27 properties went under contract this week, about 6.5% of everything on the market (down from 37 last week)

Price range on what went pending:
• Lowest: 2 bed / 1 bath condo in Sandpiper Pointe — $379,900
• Highest: 6 bed / 5 bath home in Old Mt Pleasant — $3,895,000, which went under contract at full list price in just 8 days

⏱️ Days on market: the average was about 55 days and the median was 47. That's a big shift from last week, when half of the contracts came within a week of listing. This week, 7 of the 27 homes went under contract after more than 100 days on the market.

💰 48% of the homes that went under contract (13 of 27) had a price reduction beforehand. For sellers whose homes have been sitting, a price adjustment is often what brings the right buyer.

🏡 In the luxury market ($2.5 million and up), 4 homes went under contract this week.

Did you know Mount Pleasant is getting a new road? 🚧

The Billy Swails Boulevard extension is officially under construction — the final piece of a project the town has been working on since 2017.

Here's the quick version:
📍 Runs from Six Mile Rd to Hamlin Rd
🌳 Land is being cleared right now for the new roadway
🚧 Two-lane divided road with turn lanes, a landscaped median, and a multiuse path for walkers/cyclists
⏱️ Construction started March 2026, expected to wrap up around late 2027

Once it's done, it connects into a continuous route from I-526 all the way to Porchers Bluff Rd — giving drivers a real alternative when 17 or R***e Range Rd backs up.

I put together a video showing exactly where it's headed and what's happening on the ground right now — check it out below!

Mount Pleasant Real Estate: This Week's Market Snapshot

Two homes went under contract the same day they were listed this week. At the same time, the $2.5M+ segment is sitting at roughly 5.6 months of supply — solidly balanced-to-buyer's-market territory. Same town, two very different markets depending on price point.

Here's the full picture:

Active Inventory: 426 listings across all of Mount Pleasant (condos, townhomes, single family)

Under Contract This Week: 30 properties moved to Pending or Active Contingent — about 7.0% of active inventory

Price Range on Contracts:
→ Lowest: 1508 Basildon Road (Park West), 1bd/1ba condo — $298,500
→ Highest: 2678 Egrets Landing Court (Brickyard Plantation), 5bd/5.5ba — $3,750,000

Days on Market:
→ Fastest: 0 days (Rice Planters Drive; Bountiful Bend #7)
→ Slowest: 112 days (3438 Attley Street, Hamlin Plantation)
→ Average: ~40 days

Price Adjustments: 47% of homes that went under contract (14 of 30) had a price reduction first

Luxury Segment ($2.5M+): 63 active listings against 135 closed sales over the trailing 12 months — about 5.6 months of supply, notably slower than the broader market's sub-7% weekly contract rate.

The takeaway: pricing strategy matters more than ever right now, and it varies significantly by price band. Happy to talk through what this means for your specific situation, whether you're buying or listing.

📍 Mount Pleasant Real Estate Market Weekly Snap Shot

Fresh numbers from this week's video — and there's a lot for buyers AND sellers to pay attention to here.

Currently Available: 412 active properties across all of Mount Pleasant (condos, townhomes, single family) — as of 11am this morning.

Under Contract (since last Monday): 39 homes went pending — still landing right around that 1-in-10 pace we saw the week before. Consistent market, consistent movement.

The range on price and speed:
🏠 Lowest price: 1 bed condo in Southampton Pointe — $315,000 (on the market just 2 days!)
🏡 Highest price: Home in Ion — $3,899,900 (started at $4,750,000, spent 363 days on market before going pending)

Days on Market:
⚡ Fastest: 2 days — and not just one home, 5 different properties sold that quickly this week. Priced right + presented well = results.
🐢 Slowest: 365 days — same home as our highest sale in Ion.
📊 Average DOM for pendings: 50 days (a little skewed by that Ion home, but still faster than pre-COVID norms)

Price Reductions: 49 price cuts last week alone. Buyers have more choices than they've had in the last 4 years, and sellers are catching on — pricing matters more than ever.

Here's the stat that stood out most to me: of the 39 homes that went under contract, 18 of them had adjusted their price about 2 weeks prior — averaging just 14.2 days from last price cut to going pending.

The takeaway: if you're selling, price it right from the start, get it move-in ready, and remove every objection a buyer might have. The market is rewarding that approach right now.
