The Lowcountry Market Brief

The market, by community, once a month

Zillow tells you what America did. The Brief tells you what Sea Pines, Palmetto Bluff, and your street's market actually did — real closed-sale data from both Lowcountry MLSs, translated into plain English by someone who walks these neighborhoods.

What's in every issue

The Ledger

Closed sales, median price, days on market, list-to-sale ratio, and months of inventory for your region — sourced from REsides MLS and the Lowcountry Regional MLS, dated, medians not averages.

One Community, Properly

Each issue takes one community apart honestly: what it actually costs to own, rental rules, flood and insurance reality, who it fits — and who it frustrates.

On the Ground

150 words from Maria on what actually happened this month — what buyers asked, what sellers misjudged, what the data can't show you.

Arriving with the next data drop
Written by Maria Galente, Managing Partner, New Coast Collective at Keller Williams Lowcountry. Maria pulls the numbers from both MLSs herself, every month. Some months the honest read is "wait" — you'll see her say it. When you're ready for the question the Brief can't answer, start here.
