Sources & methodology
Median sale prices (metro and city) and days to pending are from Zillow Research. Active listings and price-cut share are from Realtor.com Research for the Charleston–North Charleston metro. Each figure is labeled with its data month — sale-side data lags listing-side data by 1–2 months, which is normal.
Note (Aug 2026): this dashboard moved from Redfin Data Center to Zillow + Realtor.com after Redfin paused monthly data publication. Historical trend values were restated on the Zillow basis, so levels differ from earlier editions — most visibly the metro median, which Zillow measures lower than Redfin did.
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.
Price Cuts = share of active listings that have had at least one price reduction (Realtor.com). Above ~25% signals strong buyer negotiating leverage. Days to pending = median days from listing to accepted offer (Zillow) — a faster-reacting demand signal than closed-sale DOM.
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 Zillow and Realtor.com post the prior month's data.
