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 Hamlin Plantation — 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: Hamlin Plantation

For those of you in Hamlin Plantation specifically, the neighborhood had an active start to the year — and the story looks a little different depending on which side of the market you’re on.

On the attached side, three townhomes closed between January and March with a median sold price of $515,000, ranging from $475,000 to $575,000. Sellers received an average of 96.3% of their original list price, consistent with the broader market signal. One home achieved full list price and moved the fastest; the other two required more time and some pricing adjustment to find their buyers. Days on market averaged 61 days across the three homes— not a slow market, but a realistic one. Homes priced accurately and presented well are still finding buyers; homes priced ahead of the market are taking longer.

On the detached side, no single-family homes closed during Q1 — but that doesn’t mean the market was quiet. Two detached homes went under contract before April 1st, one at $1,395,000 and another at $1,895,000, and both moved remarkably fast: three days and four days on market, respectively. That kind of speed at those price points is a meaningful signal. When a detached home in Hamlin is priced well and shows well, serious buyers are paying attention.

Looking ahead into spring, the pipeline is active across both property types. As of mid-April, there are five detached homes actively available ranging from $919,000 to $1,730,595, with five more already under contract — and on the attached side, four active listings from the mid-$400,000s to just over $1,000,000, with two more pending. If you’ve been thinking about making a move, we’d love to talk through what the data means for your specific home or home search.
