Key Findings
- The primary indicator, the median sold price, is 152,000, which should be treated as the baseline for valuations and comparable recent transactions in ZIP 25306 and used to set realistic seller expectations baseline.
- Liquidity appears slow: the median days on market is 293, which signals slower transaction velocity and suggests listings may require longer marketing windows or greater pricing flexibility to convert into sales.
- Unit-level pricing vs. rent shows the median price per square foot is 92.46 and the median market rent is 825; with the rent year-over-year trend up, consider positioning suitable SFR/condo assets for rental demand or investors seeking cash-flow opportunities.
- Market context is mixed: the price year-over-year trend is down while market temperature is neutral, and interest rate pressure is elevated — financing costs in Charleston now average 6.53%, up 0.55% from earlier in 2026, so price sensitivity and stronger buyer financing contingencies should be incorporated into offer and underwriting strategies.
