Year to Date Charleston Real Estate Market Statistics for 2017

Here you'll see year to date MLS statistics for the tri-county Charleston area:

• During the month of October, there were 1,258 homes that closed which brings the year to date sales number to 14,872. This is a 10 year record for the MLS. Analysts had predicted 2017 would be the #2 best year in the history of the MLS, but current stats show that it might end up being #1!
• Closed homes are up 14% over 2015.
• Buyers are seeing more listings to choose from compared to the last two years, which is great considering the inventory shortage that we’ve experienced. New listings have increased 6% over last year and 11% over 2015.
• The median sales price is up 5% over last year to currently $253,995. The average sales price is up 5% to currently $343,961. Keep in mind that the average prices are always higher than the median because the multi-million dollar homes pull these averages up.
