Market Update for Charleston, SC Real Estate

Posted by Mike Ciucci on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 at 12:07pm.

The expiration of the federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers still seems to be spurring activity in the Charleston market.  Pending sales were up 23.8% in August, which marked the largest increase in pending sales since 2005.

There are fewer new listings on the market, with 1,583 new listings in August, which is a 6.8% decrease from last August 2008.  This is great news, which means less housing inventory to absorb.

Prices are still in decline, showing a 5.2% drop from last August 2008.  However; this is a smaller decline than seen in prior months, indicating that prices may be a little stronger...slightly.

Here are some visual market stats for you, taken from the Charleston MLS:
