Spring is here — and so is a lot of activity in North Mount Pleasant.

A closer look at Q1 2026 market activity across Upper Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, and Rivertowne Country Club — with data on what’s selling, how fast, and what sellers and buyers should understand heading into spring.

Q1 2026 Market Update: Upper Mount Pleasant

If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in the North Mount Pleasant real estate market, the first quarter of 2026 gave us a lot to talk about. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on your neighborhood, here’s a clear-eyed look at what the numbers are telling us — and what they mean for you. The short answer: the market is active and values remain strong.

Through the first quarter, the median sales price for single-family homes in Upper Mount Pleasant sits right at $1,000,000 — and homes are actually selling faster than they were a year ago, with days on market down more than 13%. Sellers are closing very close to asking, with homes fetching 96.4% of original list price — though that’s down from 98% this time last year, a subtle but important signal that buyers are paying close attention to how homes are priced. Inventory has tightened too, which continues to favor sellers as we head into the heart of spring.

The townhome market has been particularly exciting to watch. Median prices are up over 13% compared to this time last year, and closed sales have jumped 31% year to date. That said, even in this active segment, buyers are being thoughtful — townhomes are selling at 96.8% of list price, compared to 97.3% a year ago. It’s a small shift, but it’s a reminder that accurate pricing still matters, even in a strong market.

The Broader Picture: Charleston County

Across Charleston County as a whole, the pattern holds. Single-family median prices are up more than 4% year to date, but the list-price-to-sales-price ratio has slipped from 96% to 95.1% compared to this time last year. The county’s townhome market is also showing strength — median prices are up 3.5% year over year and closed sales are up 6.2% — though here too, buyers are negotiating a bit harder, with the list-price-to-sales-price ratio dipping from 96.5% to 95.5%.

Across both property types and throughout our market, the message for sellers is the same: well-priced, well-presented homes are absolutely still selling — and selling well.

A Closer Look: Rivertowne Country Club

Rivertowne Country Club had a solid first quarter. Six homes closed between January and March, with a median sold price of $1,000,000 — right in line with the broader Upper Mount Pleasant market. Homes that were priced accurately from the start moved quickly, with a median of just under two weeks on market.

The range of what sold tells an interesting story: closed prices ran from the mid-$700s all the way to $2.85 million, reflecting the real diversity of homes Rivertowne has to offer — from ranch-style single-story homes to custom elevated estates on the marsh and golf course. Sellers received a median of 96.3% of original list price, consistent with the broader signal we’re seeing across the market. It’s worth noting that one home in the dataset was a clear outlier — it sat on market for over 300 days and sold at 86.8% of original list price. That result is a good reminder that even in a desirable neighborhood like Rivertowne, overpricing or poor initial positioning can carry a real cost.

Seller concessions were also part of the picture here. Four of the six closed sales included some form of concession, ranging from $3,000 to $15,000. This is useful context for both sides of the table: sellers should factor concessions into their net proceeds when evaluating offers, and buyers should understand that asking for reasonable concessions is a normal and accepted part of the current market.

Looking ahead into spring, there’s meaningful activity in the pipeline. Four homes in Rivertowne are currently under contract, with eight more active listings ranging from the upper $700s to just under $2.5 million. If you’ve been thinking about making a move, we’d love to talk through what the data means for your specific home sale or purchase.
