In this week’s installment of Home Price Watch, UrbanTurf takes a look at Mount Pleasant, where homes are selling at a quicker clip than last year resulting in just about a month’s supply of active listings for sale.

Thus far in 2017, homes are selling, on average, ten days faster than they sold last year and nearly 59 percent of homes sold within ten days of hitting the market. These quick sales also indicate a level of competition that has homes selling for an average of 101 percent of listing price, and has the supply of active listings at 1.2 months.

Sales are outpacing prices, with total sold dollar volume up by 12 percent, and almost 100 homes sold so far this year, compared to 85 at at this point in 2016.
