Charleston County Homes Are Still Selling—But Not Every Home Is
If you are thinking about selling your home, the first question is usually, "Are buyers still buying?"
The answer is yes.
As of June 22, 2026, there are more than 1,100 homes under contract in Charleston County between resale homes and new construction. Buyers are still moving, relocating, downsizing, upsizing, and purchasing homes throughout the area.

Every time I drive through parts of Berkeley County and Summerville, I am amazed by the amount of new construction taking place. New neighborhoods continue to expand, model homes are busy, and builders are offering incentives that can make a significant difference to a buyer's monthly payment.
Naturally, it makes me wonder how established neighborhoods are performing.
If you own a home in Tall Pines Plantation, Wescott Plantation, Scanlonville, Harbour View, Copahee View, or Whitehall, are buyers still interested in pre-owned homes? Or are they choosing new construction instead?
I recently reviewed more than 2,000 pending pre-owned home sales and compared them to hundreds of pending new construction sales throughout the Charleston area. While every neighborhood tells its own story, the overall results were encouraging for homeow...

5+ Acres in Charleston vs. Berkeley County: What the Land Is Really Telling You
There's a point in almost every land conversation where the question shifts.
Not "Should we buy land?"
But "Where should we be looking?"
And in this area, that usually comes down to Charleston County or Berkeley County.
On paper, both offer 5+ acre opportunities. Both give you space.
But when you actually step back and look at where these properties sit—and how they function—the differences become much clearer.
