As of early 2025, the South Carolina housing market presents a dynamic landscape that varies across regions, influenced by factors such as inventory levels, price trends, and demographic shifts. Overall, the market appears to be transitioning towards a more balanced state, offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.​ The average home value in South Carolina reached $294,249 by January 31, 2025, reflecting a 1.9% year-over-year increase. Homes typically went under contract in approximately 40 days, indicating a moderate pace of sales.
Charleston, a key market within the state, experienced a 9.6% rise in the median home sold price, reaching $583,189 in January 2025 compared to the previous year. Properties in this area generally went under contract in about 31 days. ​
Myrtle Beach has notably attracted a significant influx of older Americans, with the population aged 65 and over increasing by 23% from 2020 to 2023. This demographic shift has spurred demand for various housing options, including planned communities and oceanfront properties. ​
Nationally, there's a trend towards a buyer's market, characterized by increased inventory and longer listing durations. In January 2025, new listings rose by almost 5% compared to the previous year, marking the highest supply in six years. This abundance of options has led to fewer bidding wars and, in some cases, price concessions from sellers.
Projections for the remainder of 2025 suggest continued steady growth in South Carolina's housing market, with expectations of low supply and moderate price increases. However, regional markets may experience variations influenced by local demand and demographic trends. Prospective buyers might find favorable conditions due to increased inventory, while sellers may need to navigate a more competitive landscape.
