A Mid-Year Look at North Mount Pleasant's Housing Market

If you've been curious about how homes have been selling in North Mount Pleasant this year, we thought a mid-year check-in was in order. Here's an honest, numbers-based look at pricing, pace, and inventory through the first six months of 2026, and what it might mean whether you're thinking of buying or selling.

Homes Are Selling at a Steady, Slightly Faster Pace

One of the more encouraging threads running through this year's data is how quickly single-family homes have been finding buyers. Looking month by month from January through June, four of the six months moved faster than the same month a year earlier, with May standing out in particular, when homes went under contract in an average of just 23 days.
April and June both saw a slight uptick in time on market compared to last year, but nothing dramatic. Taken together, the year-to-date average for single-family homes through June sits at 37 days, down from 42 days over the same stretch in 2025.
The townhouse and condo side of the market told a bumpier story, with some months moving quite a bit faster and others slower, largely because far fewer condos change hands each month here, so the numbers can swing more from a handful of sales. Year-to-date, condos are running close to flat compared to last year, at 41 days versus 39.

Prices Have Held Fairly Steady

Pricing for single-family homes has softened a bit compared to last year, though not sharply. The year-to-date median sales price through June is $975,000, down 5.8% from $1,035,000 over the same period in 2025, and the average sales price has followed a similar pattern, down about 1.7% year-to-date.
It's worth noting that individual months moved in both directions rather than trending steadily one way. Some months came in above last year's prices, others below, which is fairly typical as buyer activity and the specific homes that sold shift from month to month.
Townhomes and condos moved in the other direction, with year-to-date median and average prices both running a bit higher than last year. As with time on market, this segment sees fewer transactions overall, so it's a trend worth watching rather than reading too much into any single month.

Inventory Has Tightened Since Spring

The number of single-family homes available for sale has been gradually declining since its spring peak. By June, active inventory stood at 165 homes, down 17.5% from 200 homes at the same point last year.
New listings have held fairly close to last year's pace, down just 1.7% year-to-date, and closed sales have essentially matched last year's volume as well. That combination, steady demand meeting a slowly shrinking pool of available homes, helps explain why homes have generally been moving a bit faster this year even as prices have eased slightly.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, the first half of the year has offered a reasonably balanced environment. Prices have eased slightly compared to last year, but with inventory tightening as the year has gone on, being prepared to move quickly when the right home comes along still matters, especially for homes that check every box on a buyer's list.
For sellers, closed sales holding steady alongside a shrinking pool of competing listings is a genuinely positive sign. Homes that are priced thoughtfully from the start, in line with what similar homes have actually sold for this year, have generally continued to attract buyers at a reasonable pace. Overpricing in the current environment tends to show up quickly in longer time on market.

The Bigger Picture

None of the individual numbers from this first half of the year stand out as dramatic on their own, and that's worth sitting with for a moment. A market that isn't swinging wildly in one direction or another tends to be a healthier, more predictable one for buyers and sellers alike to plan around.
North Mount Pleasant has continued to hold real appeal, with steady closed sales, gradually tightening inventory, and pricing that has adjusted modestly rather than sharply in either direction.

As always, the numbers here are a starting point rather than the full story, since every home and every situation is a little different.
