These are MLS areas drawn by the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS®, and they don't follow town limits, so the figures differ from the town pages. One month of sales in one area is a small sample, and a few expensive closings can move the median; the 12-month average is steadier. Source: CTAR Local Market Updates via ShowingTime FastStats.
