Charleston region among top places to move in Q2

It’s no secret that the Charleston region has become a hot spot for people looking for a place to live, work and — most assuredly — play. A report by Attom Data Solutions shows that hasn’t changed in early 2018, even though the Holy City and the surrounding area isn’t No. 1 … yet.

The Charleston metro region is expected to be among the top places where homes are sold in the second quarter, according to Attom’s report.

Using data collected from purchase loan applications on residential real estate transactions, Attom created a pre-mover housing index based on the ratio of homes with a “pre-mover” flag to the total number of single-family homes in a given geography, indexed off of the national average. An index above 100 is above the national average and indicates an above-average ratio of homes that will likely be sold in the next three months.
