Nationally, building permits were down 10% in August. That’s another negative sign for the real estate market. In Charleston, the number of transactions in Aug 2022 was down 26% compared to Aug 2021.

Buyers don’t have the privilege of buying with a 3% mortgage rate that was prevalent over the last couple of years. Mortgage rates are now over 6% and will continue to rise.
