Pulte enclave, 2015–2016 · 29466
Porchers Preserve
Fifty Pulte homes on two streets, all built 2015–16, all wearing the double front porches the name deserves — and almost never for sale. In a community this small, a single listing reprices every home on the street, which is exactly the kind of market a real record matters most in.

Nothing
There is not one home for sale in Porchers Preserve today. Not a low inventory month — zero active listings. When a neighborhood this small goes quiet, the next house to come up sets the number everyone else gets compared to.
That is exactly the moment worth being told about, so the watch list below exists for it.
Based on information from CHS Regional MLS for the period 2026-09-03 through 2026-09-03. Counts and ranges are aggregates of active listings, not a listing display; individual homes, photos and showings live on Jim's search, which updates continuously. Inventory moves daily — treat this as of 2026-09-03.
The Porchers record
Part one · the county deed record · published
Every home in Porchers Preserve was matched to its county parcel record, one at a time, and this is what the recorded deeds say. Public record — not an estimate, not a portal's model, and not the MLS.

What Porchers Preserve owners paid, by the year they bought
Every bar is the median recorded purchase price of the homes whose owners bought that year and still own today. It is not a price index and this page will not pretend otherwise — homes that sold and sold again appear only under their most recent purchase. Read as what your neighbors paid, it is exact.
9 additional years are held back — 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 — because fewer than five homes sit behind each. Publishing a median off four houses would be a guess wearing a number's clothes.
By the square foot
Price per square foot is what a real comparison runs on, and it needs the assessor's building record — which no map layer carries. These come from 50 individual dwelling cards.

- Median finished sq ft
- built 2015–2017
- $167
- Per sq ft, what owners paid
- at their own purchase
- $323
- Per sq ft, county value today
- the assessor's opinion, not ours
Against what today's owners paid, the county now values this neighborhood at about 1.93× per square foot. A county assessment is a tax opinion, not an offer, and it is not what a home would list for — but it is a number the county will defend.

Compiled from Charleston County public property records (recorded deeds and assessor data), matched parcel-by-parcel to this neighborhood. Pulled August 25, 2026. Recorded deed prices under $1,000 are excluded as non-arm's-length (family transfers, corrections), and builder closings are included because they are real recorded sales. This is the county record, not the MLS record — days on market, asking prices and list-to-sold ratios come with the MLS archive.
Porchers Preserve's owner-occupancy rate is 92% — 46 of the 50 homes matched to a Charleston County parcel record carry the 4% legal-residence assessment ratio, which South Carolina grants only on a primary residence. Deed record as of August 25, 2026.
Median tenure in Porchers Preserve is 8 years — the midpoint of time elapsed since each home's last recorded purchase. Half the neighborhood has owned longer than that, half shorter.
Porchers Preserve's annual turnover rate is 2% — the share of its 50 homes that changed hands in a year, measured from recorded deeds rather than from listings, so it counts sales that never appeared on the MLS.
Porchers Preserve is one of seven Mount Pleasant neighborhoods on this index, covering 3,481 homes matched to their parcel records one at a time.
What these three terms mean
- Owner-occupancy rate
- The share of homes whose owner claims the property as their primary residence. In South Carolina that claim is visible in the public record, because a legal residence is assessed at a 4% ratio and everything else at 6% — so this is a counted figure, not a survey estimate.
- Median tenure
- How long the current owners have owned, at the midpoint. A median rather than an average, because one house that has not sold since 1974 would drag an average somewhere misleading.
- Annual turnover rate
- What share of the neighborhood sells in a typical year. Low turnover means fewer homes reach the market, which is why a neighborhood can be desirable and quiet at the same time.
Part two · the MLS record · published
Porchers Preserve recorded 2 MLS sales in this window — under the five-sale floor this index holds itself to, so the count publishes and the figures do not. Averaging 2 houses would be a guess wearing a number's clothes.
Based on information from CHS Regional MLS for the period 09/2024 through 08/2026.
