A custom-built 2007 house at 3 7th Ave on Isle of Palms, within a short walk of the beach, sold for $4.05 million, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Charleston, South Carolina metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. The five leading closings reported across the metro that week combined for $15.92 million in Charleston-area real estate.
The sales span Isle Of Palms, The Village at Secessionville, Folly Beach, Old Mt Pleasant and Belle Hall, recorded in Isle of Palms, Charleston, Folly Beach and Mount Pleasant, which took in two of the week’s leading closings. Build years run from 2001 to 2025, and water figures in most of the group: an oceanfront house on Folly Beach, a creek-front property with a private dock and a marsh-view residence in Mount Pleasant.
