A look at what’s selling, what’s sitting, and what the numbers mean for buyers and sellers in one of North Mount Pleasant’s most established neighborhoods.

A review of real estate market activity in Hamlin Plantation and the broader Upper Mount Pleasant area as of the end of May 2026 — active listings, pending sales, recent closings, and what all of it means if you’re thinking about buying or selling.

The Bigger Picture: Upper Mount Pleasant Through May

To understand what’s happening in Hamlin Plantation, it helps to start with the broader Upper Mount Pleasant market, which sets the context for everything we see at the neighborhood level.

Through the first five months of 2026, the single-family market in Upper Mount Pleasant has recorded 312 closed sales — down about 6% compared to the same period in 2025, though that modest dip in volume hasn’t brought prices down sharply. The year-to-date median sales price for single-family homes sits at $967,500, compared to $1,055,000 at this point last year. That’s an 8.3% decrease worth noting, but one that reflects a market recalibrating from its most elevated levels rather than one in distress.

Sellers are receiving 96.7% of original list price year to date, down from 97.9% over the same stretch in 2025. That’s a meaningful shift in practical terms: buyers are negotiating with more confidence, and overpriced listings are feeling that pressure. The good news for sellers is that well-priced, well-prepared homes are still moving. Days on market for single-family homes in Upper Mount Pleasant have actually improved — averaging 40 days year to date, down from 46 days over the same period last year.

The Charleston County single-family market is telling a more optimistic story. Closed sales in May 2026 were up 4.6% compared to May 2025, and the median sales price climbed to $719,500 — a 6.6% gain. The broader county data reflects genuine demand, and Upper Mount Pleasant’s more premium price points are simply operating in their own tier within that healthy overall market.

The townhome and attached home market in Upper Mount Pleasant continues to show strength year to date. The median sales price is up 12.4% compared to this time last year ($570,000 vs. $507,167), and closed sales are up 6.1% — a segment that’s outperforming in both volume and price growth.

Hamlin Plantation Single-Family Homes: What’s Active and What’s Moving

Active Listings

As of the end of May, there were six single-family homes actively listed in Hamlin Plantation, ranging from $1,025,000 to $2,100,000 — a price spread that reflects the real depth and diversity of this neighborhood.

Five of the six listings came to market in May or later and are in their early days. The exception is a home on Blackmoor Street, which has been on the market for 141 days and has reduced its price by $125,000 — a reminder that even in a desirable neighborhood, buyers are paying close attention to both value and the overall condition of what they’re purchasing. The remaining active listings have been available between 12 and 40 days, and several are competitively positioned for the neighborhood.

Pending Sales

Four single-family homes were under contract at the end of May, with list prices ranging from $900,000 to $1,730,595.

Three of the four went under contract quickly — a home on Coolidge Street in four days, a home on Higgins Drive in eleven days, and a home on Attley Street in forty days. The fourth, also on Higgins Drive, took fifty-seven days to go under contract after a price reduction.

That range tells a familiar story: homes that arrive at the right price — and in the condition buyers expect at that price point — capture buyer attention quickly. Homes that need time and adjustments to find a buyer get there eventually, but at a cost.

Recent Closed Sales

Six single-family homes closed in Hamlin Plantation in recent months, with an average sale price of $1,678,833, an average of just 10 days on market, and an average of 96.7% of original list price received.

The headline numbers tell a strong story, and they’re even more striking when you look beneath the average. Five of the six homes sold at 97.6% or better of original list price and averaged fewer than six days on market — a remarkable pace at these price points. Those results are a direct reflection of what happens when pricing, presentation, and condition are all working together.

The one outlier closed at 86% of its original list price after thirty days on market — the result of a significant price reduction needed to align with buyer expectations.

Hamlin Plantation Attached Homes: What’s Active and What’s Moving

Active Listings

Four attached homes were actively listed at the end of May. Prices range from $439,000 to $950,000, reflecting the wide variety of attached product in Hamlin — from traditional townhomes to larger attached homes in the $800s and above.

Two listings stand out for how long they’ve been available — one on Billings Street at 78 days and one on Monhegan Way at 96 days, both with meaningful price reductions along the way. In the attached segment, where buyers have several active options to compare side by side, the relationship between price, condition and other contributing factors becomes especially important. The two newer listings were better positioned and worth watching.

Pending Sales

One attached home was under contract at the end of May: a home on Monhegan Way listed at $950,000, which went under contract in eight days. A quick contract at that price point in the attached segment is a meaningful data point and reflects continued buyer interest when value is clear.

Recent Closed Sales

Six attached homes closed in Hamlin Plantation in recent months, with an average sale price of $525,833, an average of 47 days on market, and an average of 97.2% of original list price received.

The contrast within this group is instructive. The two homes that sold in under ten days both achieved 99% or better of list price — a strong result that reflects accurate pricing and homes presented in condition that matched buyer expectations at their price point. The homes that took longer — ranging from 51 to 83 days — ultimately sold at 93.8% to 96% of original list price. The longer a home sits, the more negotiating leverage shifts to the buyer.

What This Means If You’re Thinking About Selling

The contract and closing data for Hamlin Plantation this spring tells a consistent story: homes that come to market accurately priced and in condition that matches their price point perform well. Multiple single-family homes went under contract in under a week and closed at 97% or better of original list price. The attached market reflects the same dynamic — quick contracts and strong results for homes where price and condition were aligned, longer timelines and greater discounts where they weren’t.

Buyer demand in Hamlin is real. The neighborhood continues to command strong prices. The key is arriving at the market well-prepared — which means honest pricing, thoughtful presentation, and condition that meets buyer expectations at your price point.

What This Means If You’re Thinking About Buying

With six single-family homes and four attached homes actively listed as of the end of May, Hamlin Plantation offers meaningful selection across a wide range of price points — from the $400s to $2.1 million. That said, the homes that are priced and presented well don’t stay available long. Three of the four single-family homes currently under contract went under contract in under two weeks.
