29438 Market Pulse: Strong Buyer Advantage
Demand is softer relative to supply and buyers have the most room to compare, negotiate, and wait for the right fit.
Pending ratio: 21%. About 2-3 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 121 days to sell, which is slow.

Local market questions
29438 housing market FAQs
Is 29438 a buyer’s market or seller’s market?
ZIP 29438 doesn't have a confirmed ZIP-level Market Pulse in this report yet. As more local data comes in, we'll be able to call the balance between buyers and sellers here.
How does 29438 compare with Edisto Island overall?
We don't have a confirmed citywide reading to compare with 29438 in this report yet. The ZIP report measures its own local market.
Does the 29438 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?
No. The Pulse describes negotiating conditions across ZIP 29438 — not what a particular home is worth. A real pricing review needs recent comparable sales, current competing listings, and your home's condition and features.
How recent is the 29438 market reading?
There's no confirmed ZIP-level reading date in this report yet. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and any city reading shown has its own date.
What should buyers watch in 29438?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 29438?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Edisto Island report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
