Here’s your professional snapshot of real estate activity across key areas of the Lowcountry this month. As we settle into the end of summer, the market is showing signs of steady normalization—still active, but with more breathing room for buyers and strategic opportunities for sellers. Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or prospective buyer, staying informed on these trends can help you make the most of your next move.
Charleston County Market Trends – July 2025
(Includes core Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms)
Key Developments:
• Median prices up +3.8% YoY, from $425K to $441K
• Average Days on Market up ~19%, now around 50 days
• Inventory rose ~25%, translating to roughly 3.4 months’ supply
Market Insight:
Charleston County remains competitive, but homes are taking longer to sell compared to last summer. The luxury segment—especially Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms—remains high in demand but slower-paced, giving well-prepared buyers a chance to secure premium properties without the frenzy of 2022–2023.
Berkeley County (Including North Charleston & Goose Creek) – July 2025
Highlights:
• Median price up +0.9% YoY; Zillow’s ZHVI shows +1.0% to $375,100
• Days on Market rose ~18% to 53 days
• Inventory (~1,210 homes) and months’ supply (~3.2) up slightly, offering more selection for buyers
Market Insight:
Berkeley County is holding steady with moderate price growth. Goose Creek continues to shine as one of the best value areas in the Lowcountry, attracting both first-time buyers and investors. With inventory rising gradually, buyers are starting to gain leverage in negotiations.
Dorchester County (Including Summerville) – July 2025
By-the-Numbers:
• Median sale price up +0.4% YoY to $371K
• Days on Market up ~12% to 61 days
• Months of supply at 3.6, with active listings climbing
• Closed sales in June totaled ~265 homes—a 22% drop from last year
Market Insight:
Dorchester County is cooling slightly, giving buyers more time and flexibility. Summerville’s family-friendly neighborhoods remain in demand, but the days of same-week offers are less common. Sellers who price accurately and present their homes well still see strong results.

• Charleston County: Seller’s market with slowing momentum—prices rising moderately, more inventory, and slightly longer selling times.
