If deals feel harder to put together lately, you’re not imagining it.
The Charleston tri-county market has shifted. Inventory is rising, homes are sitting longer, and buyers are taking more time before making decisions.
Homes are now averaging 50 to 70+ days on market, and nearly 78% are selling below list price.
That means fewer bidding wars, more price negotiations, and more contracts falling apart before closing.
Buyer demand is still there, but it looks different now. There’s less urgency, more hesitation, and more comparison shopping.
Where Many Good Agents Get Stuck
A lot of agents are still using the same methods that worked in a very different market a few years ago.
This isn’t a hustle problem. It’s a structure problem.
Today’s market requires a different setup:
- More inventory means more competition for listings
- Longer days on market means more follow-up
- Buyers negotiating harder means lower conversion without a system
- Growth in areas like Berkeley County means new opportunity zones
Agents trying to solve this by simply working longer hours are burning out.
Agents with the right system are winning.
