MLS Real Estate Market Update for Charleston, SC November 2016

CHARLESTON, SC—(November 10, 2016) According to preliminary data released today by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors® (CTAR) 1,272 homes sold in October in the region at a median price of $240,000. Sales volume and median price declined slightly, as expected, heading into the Fall. In October 2015, 1,264 homes sold at a median price of $225,000.
homes-soldYear-to-date figures show 14,963 homes sold at a median price of $240,000 in our area. Comparing year-to-date figures from 2015, sales volume has increased 9% and buyers are paying 6% more for homes in the region than they did last year.
Inventory has declined by 19% over the last 12-month period, with 5,285 homes listed as “active” for sale in the Charleston Trident Multiple Listing Service (CTMLS) as of October 31.  We expect that inventory will remain low, as it traditionally does, through the winter.
“October’s home sales remained strong and steady, particularly considering we had to contend with Hurricane Matthew, that evacuated much of the Lowcountry for multiple days” said 2016 CTAR President Michael Sally.  “We expect that sales volume will quiet some as we head into the holiday season, but price growth will likely remain steady as we are still working with a very limited inventory of homes” he concluded.
“The Association is proud to extend the opportunity to apply for hurricane relief funds, to any South Carolina resident impacted by Hurricane Matthew” Sally said. “Together with the South Carolina Association of Realtors® and the Realtor® Relief Fund, managed by our National Association, we are making funds available to South Carolina residents who have suffered property damage to their primary residence as a result of Hurricane Matthew. Assistance is limited to $1,000 per applicant and one grant per residence” he said.
September AdjustmentPreliminary data showed 1,608 homes sold in September in the region at a median price of $243,457. Adjusted data now shows 1,618 sales at the same median price.

7 reasons why to stop renting and purchase a home Click here to search all Active MLS listings in the Charleston and surrounding areas   Still renting? You must have a good reason. Although, we're not really sure what it is. With rents continuing to rise across the country, interest rates staying around historic levels, and new loans lowering down payment requirements, it just makes sense to take the leap to homeownership. Maybe you've got terrible credit and don't want to take the time to improve it (or don't know about loans that accept lower scores)? Or, maybe you just like giving your money away. If you're still not on board, these 7 reasons might change your mind. Because owning a home is still less expensive than renting across the country   GOBankingRates ' annual survey of "the cost of renting versus owning a home in all 50 states and the District of Columbia" just came out, and, while they "found that the number of places w...

What makes a good REALTOR? I was amazed at what most people that hold a Real Estate license had to say ab out themselves. Not one individual looked at purchasing property as a business transaction. It was hilarious. Go watch some for yourself. They are not 'REAL'tors.
