If the first few months of 2026 are any indication, the Kiawah market is picking up right where 2025 left off!
Inventory remains tight, well-priced properties are moving quickly, and serious buyers are patiently waiting for the right opportunities. When the right property hits the market, they act.
Looking back, 2025 was another impressive year for Kiawah. Excluding the two outlier years — 2021 (the initial COVID surge) and 2024 (when $315M of volume came from The Cape) — 2025 stands out as the strongest year in the past six years. Since COVID, the median annual sales volume on Kiawah has been $829M, and 2025 closed at $851M — a clear sign of sustained demand!
