The median sale price over the three months ending June 2026 was $361,000, DOWN 5.5% year over year -- a genuine decline, not appreciation, even as the city's population grew 62.76% since the 2020 Census, the fastest rate in this batch. This divergence likely reflects a real new-construction supply surge outpacing demand growth, though this session did not independently confirm new-construction permit volume with additional sourcing.
A "somewhat competitive" but not frenzied market
Redfin scores the Moncks Corner housing market 47 out of 100 on its own competitiveness scale -- a genuinely more moderate, buyer-friendlier market than some other Charleston-area submarkets in this batch experiencing continued price appreciation.
A comparatively low property tax burden for buyers
Median property taxes paid run roughly $1,987/year for mortgaged units at an effective rate of approximately 0.5% -- a real, structural cost advantage for buyers weighing total ownership cost.
