Q1 Market Report. It has been an interesting start to the year – both globally and in real estate. In Charleston, the story remains familiar – strong buyer demand and low inventory. This trend has continued into 2025 with home sales over $500,000 rising approximately 7% compared to 2024, even as inventory has held steady. The median sales price of homes in this category also increased by 7%, all while interest rates have remained in the high 6% to low 7% range. These are encouraging signs for the Charleston market as we close out the first quarter.
Three New Agents join William Means. We are pleased to announce that three new agents have joined William Means: Crissy Rowell, Michael Rowell and Kimberly Winner. Michael and Crissy work together to assist their clients as the Rowell Real Estate Team.
