This is not a weak market — it is a market re-pricing. Charleston is absorbing the supply wave delivered in the early 2020s, vacancy is trending down, and new construction remains limited. Sales prices are moderating and cap rates are rising, which is making trades pencil again for the first time in several quarters.
| Market | Vacancy Rate | Asking Rent / Unit | Annual Rent Growth | Sale Price / Unit | Cap Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charleston | 7.60% | $1,818 | +2.4% | $204K | 6.18% |
| Hilton Head | 10.80% | $1,874 | -2.2% | $220K | 5.8% |
| Greenville | 9.00% | $1,427 | +0.4% | $171K | 6.2% |
| Myrtle Beach | 11.30% | $1,593 | -0.9% | $180K | 6.5% |
| Columbia | 9.90% | $1,383 | +0.9% | $132K | 6.2% |
I am an Associate with Coldwell Banker Commercial Atlantic, where I specialize in multi-family investment sales, as well as retail leasing and sales. I work with investors, owners, and developers to identify opportunities, execute strategic transactions, and maximize long-term value across their portfolios.
Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, I bring a strong understanding of Southeastern markets and a relationship-driven approach to every deal. I earned my degree in Commercial Real Estate Finance from the College of Charleston, where I built a foundation in investment analysis, market research, and financial modeling.
My focus is on delivering clear, data-driven guidance while maintaining a high level of service and professionalism throughout each transaction. I take pride in helping clients navigate complex deals with confidence and achieving outcomes that align with their investment goals.
With financing hovering between 6% and 7% and the potential for additional rate pressure ahead, underwriting has changed materially. Higher debt costs paired with stagnant rent growth force buyers to recalibrate what they can pay — sales prices adjust downward, and cap rates move higher.
In most markets, rising cap rates and limited new construction would signal a recession. Charleston is not a typical market. The region is emerging from the hyper-supply period that followed the early-2020s construction wave, and population growth is now absorbing that supply. Vacancy is declining, new starts remain limited, and buying existing product still beats building new in most classes.
This is a market re-pricing, not a market breaking down. Charleston is adjusting to higher financing costs, slower rent growth, and elevated operating expenses — a healthier reset in pricing rather than a deterioration in long-term fundamentals.
