The lowest Month Supply of homes in 2014 was December, at 4 Months. 2014 never saw a supply higher than 5.3 Months (April).

This is important to note because like many areas of Charleston, West Ashley real estate in the 29407 zip code has been in a sellers market (under 6 Months Supply).

Home values increase in a sellers market simply because demand exceeds supply. That has been the case throughout Charleston, and in 29407 as well.

Much of Charleston saw home values dip at some point in 2015, but most of the Charleston area is seeing home values continue to increase.

Here are the current numbers for West Ashley 29407:

130 Active listings, 6 Pending Sales, and another 115 homes under contract (Contingent Sales).

The 130 Active homes average 114 DOM and a list price of $494,625.

The 6 Pending Sales average 104 DOM and a list price of $364,170.

The 115 Contingent Sales average 78 DOM and a list price of $256,382.

For buyers looking at homes for sale in 29407, it is important to know that home values are continuing to rise.

They aren’t appreciating as fast as we saw in 2013, but they are still rising. This you can count on because of the fact that West Ashley 29407 is in a sellers market, so demand is exceeding the supply.

Plus, we are just getting into the Spring season heading into Summer, and this is the time of year for more activity in the real estate market.

Besides that, you can simply look at the numbers–here is a year-over-year comparison of home values in 29407 for March 2013, 2014 and 2015:

From last March to this March, we are up 7.2%, and so far in 2015 the numbers continue to rise. Interest rates are expected to increase as well, meaning that as the year progresses, buyers will pay more for less house.

Lack of inventory continues to be a problem for buyers. If you spot a home you like, you better move quickly or else you will likely miss out.

For sellers, now is a great time to list. Actually, a couple months ago was a great time to list, but even now with Spring in full swing, more inventory is needed.

Home values are continuing to rise, and are expected to continue into the upcoming years.

Sellers that price their home correctly and have homes that are in great condition are having no problem getting sold quickly and for top dollar.

An advantage home owners in 29407 have is the fact that they don’t face competition that many sellers in other parts of Charleston must contend with: new construction homes.

Of all the West Ashley homes for sale in 29407, only 5 are new construction homes.

This means less competition in general, and especially against competition that can often be tough to go up against.
