Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston

91.7% of all new homes built in the Charleston tri-county since 2020 are concentrated in just three cities. That’s not just a trend — it’s a structural shift in where growth is allowed to happen. How does this concentration impact affordability, infrastructure, and long-term resilience in the region? We’re seeing a new kind of market lock-in, where development is no longer spread but hyper-centralized. This insight comes from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024 — the most current data available. The full analysis is here: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-04-charleston-sc-concentration-new-homes-place That’s a different kind of concentration.
