The month of February showed no signs of the Charleston real estate market slowing down. Nearly every luxury category saw increases in sales versus the previous month and the same time last year. The increased numbers most drastically changed in looking at the previous year. Sales prices were down February against January but having the buyers out there is still a strong indication of demand. Those sales price numbers should increase over the coming months as demand increases. William Means had a successful month with significant sales in nearly every area including South of Broad, I’On, and Sullivan’s Island. William Means also listed some beautiful properties in the month of February.

The strong rising trend in real estate from 2012 continued into 2013. January saw sales in most all categories up significantly over January 2011. Some of the sales were down versus December, but that trend is normal in yearly housing statistics. Another trend that continued were increased sales prices over both the previous month and year. The shrinking inventories seem to be a key indicator that prices will continue to increase. William Means continued success in January after 2012 was one of the most successful years ever.

Across every area of luxury sales in Charleston the amount of inventory fell month over month and against the previous year. This continues the good news of stronger demand. William Means finished 2012 with a strong December in one of the best years ever for the company.
