Here's a Story About Median Home Sales Prices And Five Metropolitan Areas: Home prices in the Charleston-North Charleston metro are not only the highest in the state, they beat out two nearby big-city markets, Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell and Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, according to a report by the house-hunting site RealtyHop.
Based on December median home sale prices for one- to five-bedroom homes, Charleston bests Columbia and Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin in each category, while costing more than Atlanta in all but one-bedroom homes and Charlotte in all but four-bedroom homes.
Overall, the Columbia market was the lowest, while Greenville actually witnessed price declines from one-bedroom to two bedrooms, a fact that could be attributable to the sale of one-bedroom luxury condos.
Some perspective matters: the median home sales price of a one-bedroom home in New York-Newark-Jersey City was $549,000; again, conventional wisdom would suggest the sale of luxury condos plays a role in that price.
The median sales prices are as follows:
One-Bedroom
Atlanta, $210,000
Charlotte, $155,000
Charleston, $179,000
Columbia, $72,000
Greenville, $139,500

Charlotte, $165,000

Atlanta, $215,000
Charlotte, $235,000
Charleston, $245,000
Columbia, $149,900
Greenville, $196,591
Four-Bedroom
Atlanta, $299,900
Charlotte, $359,000
Charleston, $335,000

United States Senator
South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham has represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate since 2003. Graham has earned a reputation as a conservative problem-solver and a major proponent of a robust national defense. He is a leader in cutting spending, reforming entitlements, and getting government out of the way so businesses can create jobs.
Graham has been an early leader and supporter of deepening the Charleston port, an important priority for the South Carolina business community. A deeper port will help in the global logistic supply as goods from South Carolina flow through the Charleston port to markets around the world.
In 2018, Graham played an instrumental role in helping confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, to the U.S. Supreme Court. Graham’s defense was cited by many as the most critical moment of the hearings, which turned the tide toward Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
