One of the questions I hear more than any other is, “Chris, what’s going on with prices in Mount Pleasant?” I hear it from first-time buyers, from families who’ve lived here for 20 years and from folks who are just thinking about moving to the Lowcountry. So I want to sit down with you and walk through the latest numbers, plain and simple, and tell you what I think they really mean for you.
Mount Pleasant home prices at a glance
Here’s what Redfin is showing for the three months ending September 2026:
What I see in these numbers
Prices in Mount Pleasant are still going up, but slowly and steadily. And honestly, I think that’s a good thing. A 2.2% increase is healthy. It’s not the wild ride we all lived through a few years ago, when buyers were writing offers on the hood of their car and still losing out.
Homes are taking a little longer to sell, and fewer of them are going over asking price. About one out of every three sellers has lowered their price at some point. What that tells me is that buyers have a little more breathing room right now. They have time to think, to compare and to negotiate. More homes are selling than last year, too, so the market is active. It’s just more balanced, and balance is good for everyone.

If you’re thinking about buying
This is a market that rewards patience and preparation. You probably won’t have to make a decision on the spot, and there may be room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. My advice is to get pre-approved first so you know exactly where you stand, and then lean on your agent to tell you the truth about which homes are priced right and which ones have been sitting for a reason.
Owning a home is still one of the best ways I know to build stability and wealth for your family. Seeing someone get the keys to the home of their dreams never gets old for me.
Chris’s tip
Ask your agent how long a home has been on the market and whether the price has changed. It tells you a lot about how much room there is to negotiate.
If you’re thinking about selling
Values are holding strong, which is great news if you’ve owned your home for a while. But today’s buyers are careful, and pricing your home right from day one matters more than ever. Homes that start too high tend to sit, and that’s usually when the price drops come. A home that’s well prepared, well marketed and priced with real local data is still selling.
Every neighborhood tells its own story
Keep in mind these are town-wide numbers. Mount Pleasant is everything from the Old Village to Park West, Carolina Park and the communities heading out toward Awendaw, and each one has its own story. If you’d like to know what’s happening on your street, or in a neighborhood you’ve fallen in love with, I’d be glad to have our team put together a personal look just for you. You can also learn more about the area on our Life in Mount Pleasant page.
Buying or selling a home is very personal. It’s one of the largest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and we never take that lightly. Reach out to our team anytime.
