In 2018 our real estate market had the 2nd busiest year ever with just under 18k transactions. We fell just short of the 2017 record, but it was really close. The median sales price is up 6.4% to an all time high of $272k. Many MLS areas were up over 10% in median sales price. These areas included Folly Beach, Johns Island, Isle of Palms, downtown peninsula Charleston, Goose Creek, Daniel Island, and the Clements Rd area. Completion of Highway 526 is back on the table. In terms of events, February brings the Southeastern Wildlife Expo! If you talk to the bar and restaurant owners they will tell you that SeeWee is the biggest event for them each year even ahead of Spoleto. Who doesn’t love the dog dock jumping contest! Here is your February calendar of events:
