  • Supply is tighter than a year ago: 4.3 months in September 2026, down from 5.3 (Coastal Carolinas Association of REALTORS® MLS via InfoSparks).

The case for spring

  • March brings the most new listings of the year.
  • Homes that closed in March sold in a median of 61 days, the fastest month.
