Charleston real estate sales were a bit better in the Jan-Apr 2026 period than the same 2025 period. We were up 3% in transactions and the
median price of closed sales was up 1.8%. Right now the median price of homes and condos in Charleston is about $447k. Condos make up
about 25% of our market. The median price of single-family homes only is naturally a bit higher at $478k. It’s a bit early in the year to make
predictions yet. The Fed did cut the rates one more time in early December. Unfortunately, inflation has ticked up a good bit and it is unlikely
that there will be any more rate cuts for the foreseeable future. But we do have a new Fed Chair and he supposedly leans more towards
cutting rates. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, the Charleston economy is doing well. Charleston-based Bittermilk announces $8.2M investment in Ravenel facility. It will create
12 new jobs. The Medical University of South Carolina has entered a partnership with Revival Healthcare Capital, an investment firm focused
on medical devices. The Duke Endowment and the Medical University of South Carolina have partnered to form an initiative across North and
South Carolina to strengthen maternal and infant health outcomes. The Duke Endowment commits more than $13 million to initiative. Odd
Duck expands to three Lowcountry locations including Charleston and Summerville.. Their concept blends upscale bodega, cafe and local
products. Ascenda Capital acquires 232-unit Bryant at Summerville for $51.5M. This marks firm’s first investment in the Charleston-area
market. Berkeley County opened part of the $10.5 million Berkeley County Waterfront Park on Friday with six boat ramps and 180 boat
trailer parking spots open to the public. The full Berkeley County Waterfront Park is expected to open after June 12.

SCDOT Making Major Progress on Interstate Projects Across the State

SCDOT is advancing projects across our interstate system to reduce congestion, improve roadway conditions, and enhance safety.

Serving as one of the nation's busiest corridors, several critical improvement projects are happening statewide along I-95.

The I-95 bridges over Lake Marion replacement project is underway after a groundbreaking with USDOT.
Widening I-95 from four lanes to six, starting at the Georgia state line in Jasper County, is under construction.
And a new system to system interchange is being constructed at the I-26 / I-95 interchange in Orangeburg and Dorchester counties to accommodate future growth.

Across the Midlands, progress continues on the Carolina Crossroads project in Columbia, the Scout interchange in Blythewood, and overnight resurfacing efforts on I-26 and I-85 in the Upstate.

As SCDOT continues to anticipate unprecedented growth in our state, projects like these reflect our continued commitment to building safer, more efficient roadways.
