ZIP Code: 29455
Report Date: April 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only


Executive Overview

As of April 2026, the real estate market on Johns Island, SC reflects a median sold price of $666,250, indicating a stable transaction environment. The market has remained relatively flat, with no significant year-over-year price changes reported. This suggests that while buyer interest persists, there is a balance between supply and demand, leading to a stable pricing environment. The median days on market stands at 218 days, which indicates a slower sales velocity, potentially due to elevated inventory levels relative to sales activity.

The current market conditions are characterized by elevated inventory levels, which may indicate a shift towards a more buyer-friendly environment. Despite the median listing price being notably higher at $800,000, the gap between listing and sold prices suggests that sellers may need to adjust expectations to align with buyer sentiment. The luxury segment continues to show strength, while the overall market temperature remains neutral, reflecting a balanced state with moderate transaction volume and slower sales velocity.
