• Through Q3 2025, Kiawah Island recorded 264 property closings totaling $668 million in sales volume, reflecting a 25% decrease in the number of properties sold and a 22% decline in dollar volume year-over-year (YOY). This decline is solely attributable to the initial 78 closings at The Cape in 2024. Year-to-date (YTD) sales volume signifies the third highest in Island history, with only 2021 and 2024 surpassing 2025.

• Median homesite prices surged 62% YOY, rising from $650K to $1.1M. Approximately 300 homesites remain undeveloped across the Island. Median single-family home prices continue their steady ascent, increasing 9% YOY, with the number of single-family closings up 20% YOY.

• Inventory has grown modestly, from 126 to 141 properties for sale, representing just 2.9% of Island-wide properties available for purchase. Villas and cottages now account for 38% of listings, compared to 29% this time last year, while single-family homes continue to dominate the market, representing nearly 50% of all properties for sale.

• Notable highlights in Q3 include ten homes sold for over $5 million, and 40% of homesites sold were priced above $1 million. Four homes have sold for over $10 million YTD.
