Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston

🏆 Ranked #11 in the U.S. on five-year home price growth — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Charleston-North Charleston, SC’s 61.6% five-year home price increase isn’t a fluke. It’s a signal of deep, structural demand in a high-barrier urban market. This ranking—based on FHFA data and analyzed by ALEX Intelligence—reveals that supply constraints are not incidental, but foundational. The top-tier growth is concentrated in walkable, amenity-rich, and historically preserved neighborhoods, where access to culture and community drives value. Charleston’s model is different: it’s a mature urban core where scarcity is baked into the DNA.
