Barry's Take · July 2026
We're deep in hurricane season now — peak lands mid-August through mid-October. This is when out-of-town money really pulls back and local investors who understand the seasonality clean up. If you're seeing a Summerville, West Ashley, or North Charleston property with 45+ DOM and a fresh price cut, the seller is likely a snowbird or an out-of-market investor who wanted to be closed by August. Make the offer. Mount Pleasant, Kiawah, and Isle of Palms are a different story — primary-home money and beach demand don't flinch on the season.
— Barry Luchtel, Kayak Capital

Sources & methodology

Median sale prices, days on market, and active inventory are pulled monthly from Redfin Data Center at the metro and city level for the Charleston-North Charleston MSA.

30-year fixed mortgage rate from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis — FRED series MORTGAGE30US.

Market Temperature is a composite indicator: 40% price-trend direction, 30% inventory direction, 30% DOM trend. HOT = sellers have strong leverage, multiple offers common. WARM = balanced market with seller's edge. COOL = buyer's market or softening.

Months of Supply = active listings ÷ trailing 3-month sales pace. Under 3 months = strong seller's market. 3–6 months = balanced. 6+ months = buyer's market.

Year-over-year (YoY) compares this month vs the same month one year ago. Trend chart shows 12-month rolling median sale price.

Dashboard refreshed by Kayak Capital around the 15th of each month, after Redfin posts the prior month's data.
