North Charleston, SC Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around North Charleston, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what North Charleston sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

  • •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 638
  • •Median sold price, last 6 months: $330,000
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $215
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $260,000 and $459,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 638 closed sales in North Charleston over the last six months, with a median closing price of $330,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $260,000 and $459,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 633 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $175 and $265 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market.

How long a sale takes here

  • •Listed to under contract: a median of 20 days, across 205 North Charleston closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 33 days, across 118 North Charleston closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 638 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The North Charleston angle

The useful reading of North Charleston's closed data is positional. Across 638 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $330,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $260,000 and $459,000. The band is close to typical in width for the markets we track and reaches farther above the median than below it, which means deciding where in the range your subject belongs matters more than any adjustment you make afterwards.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any North Charleston address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in North Charleston over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the North Charleston city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 13% of the 638 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $336,350.

What should I settle first when valuing in North Charleston?

Placement in the closed range. Once you know whether the subject belongs near $260,000, near $330,000, or up toward $459,000, the comp search follows and the adjustments become small. Get placement wrong and no amount of careful adjusting recovers the number, because the North Charleston band is wide enough for that first decision to dominate.
