William Means real estate looks ahead to 2020 after record year of Charleston home sales
January 29, 2020
As one of the oldest real estate firms in the area and an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, William Means continues to remain at the forefront of the local luxury market. Last year, the company sold more than $212 million in Charleston real estate with an average home sales price of $873,000, making 2019 one of the best years in the company’s history.
William Means sold 233 homes with significant real estate transactions boosting sales during 2019, including:
- 2 Concord Street – South of Broad – $7,300,000
- 147 Stono Drive – James Island – $4,250,000
- 202 McCants Drive – Mount Pleasant – $3,900,000
- 3404 Palm Boulevard – Isle of Palms – $3,700,000
- 154 Hobcaw Drive – Mount Pleasant – $3,700,000
“According to the National Association of Realtors, Charleston is one of 10 markets to have home price appreciation that outpaces the rest of the country over the next three to five years,” said Helen Geer, President and Broker-in-Charge for William Means Real Estate. “Our agents and company work diligently to stay on top of market trends while ensuring that clients are making the most informed decision for their lifestyle and family. Our clients’ allegiance demonstrates our client-focused approach.”
The company’s real estate agents work from offices in downtown Charleston and the I’On neighborhood of Mount Pleasant. William Means was the No. 1 top-producing boutique firm in I’On last year, making it their tenth consecutive year holding that distinction in the community. In addition to this success, they remain leaders and experts in historic homes with more than $63 million alone in downtown Charleston sales last year.
“In the competitive Charleston market, it is a true testament to our strong team of agents that we achieved two back-to-back years of record sales,” said Drew Grossklaus, Director of Sales and East Cooper Broker-in-Charge for William Means Real Estate. “We anticipate continued success in the local and luxury real estate markets as we look ahead to 2020.”
