AFFORDABILITY AND FINANCING CHALLENGE THE RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET
1,236 homes sold in November in the Charleston region at a median price of $400,000 according to preliminary data released today by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors® (CTAR). Year-to-date data shows 18,081 homes sold at a median price of $398,900 which is 17% fewer sales than at this point last year, at a price point that is 14% higher.

Inventory data shows 49% more homes on the market than at this time last year, with 3,167 homes listed as “active” for sale in the CHS Regional MLS database at the end of the month—representing just under two months of available inventory.

“While we generally see a decline in sales during the holiday season, this year the financing piece is really challenging both buyers and sellers and impacting home sales. On the buying side, both median price and borrowing costs are significantly higher than they were at this time last year, so buyers are being challenged to find more creative ways to finance their home purchase. With sellers, many are hesitant to list their homes despite the increased value because of the borrowing costs associated with purchasing a new home. This is no doubt a challenging market for many, so working with the right team of professionals has never been more important” said 2022 CTAR President Jon Stroud.

“While it appears that the market has been on a downward trend in terms of sales, what we are seeing is a re-settling, or normalization of the market, after two years (2021 and 2020) of irregular market activity” said 2022 CTAR President Jon Stroud. “When you look at May 2019, there were nearly 1,900 homes sold in that month. In May 2018, there were just over 1,800, so when you remove the two outliers, that’s our evidence that the market is growing in a steady, sustainable way on the sales side” said Stroud.

“While we do have to account for the increased cost of homeownership overall—mortgage rate increases and prices are up 16% over last year, which is a significant jump—we have not seen a slow in demand for homes in our market, which is what is going to continue driving sustainable buying activity” said Stroud.

HOME SALES CONTINUE TO NORMALIZE TO PRE-COVID LEVELS AS PRICES CONTINUE TO CLIMB

Charleston, SC – (May 10, 2022) 1,897 homes sold in April in the Charleston region at a median price of $399,000 according to preliminary data released today by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors® (CTAR). Year-to-date data shows 6,907 homes sold at a median price of $382,900, 8% fewer sales than at this point last year, but at a price point that is 15% higher.

Inventory data shows 30% fewer homes, with 1,331 homes listed as “active” for sale in the CHS Regional MLS database at the end of the month—representing just over half of a month’s available inventory.

“It’s important to remember that 2021 was an outlier in terms of sales volume, so it’s not so much that the market is declining, but returning to what was normal. In 2021 there was a lot of pent-up demand from a year of Covid restrictions the previous year. When you look at data from 2018-20, the sales volume is quite comparable to what we’re seeing now—even a little ahead” said 2022 CTAR President Jon Stroud.

“While we have seen the most significant adjustment to interest rates since 2011, along with local affordability challenges creating an even more challenging market for buyers, we continue to have strong buyer interest from outside markets and I don’t anticipate that will decline any time soon” said Stroud. “Charleston is an incredibly attractive place for young professionals and retirees alike, so our pool of potential homebuyers remains strong” said Stroud.

“We expect to see sales volume to slow a bit in the first part of this year, due to our extremely limited inventory” said 2022 CTAR President Jon Stroud. “If we had the number of homes the current market demands, sales would likely continue to grow and prices would normalize—there are many prospective buyers who can’t buy in this market because prices have increased so much” said Stroud.
