The Takeaway
The Charleston real estate market continues to perform well, with positive trends across much of the county. Single-family homes saw increases in new listings, closed sales, and home prices, while the condo and townhouse market welcomed more inventory, giving buyers additional options.
Downtown Charleston remained strong, with luxury home prices rising significantly and homes selling faster than a year ago. Although the condo and townhouse market saw fewer new listings and slightly lower prices, demand remained steady.
