Charleston Acupuncture

If you know me, you know I have two speeds… I am either “running” or “injured.” So I recently started acupuncture as a drug-free approach to wellness, and I must say that I really like it! True, needles are involved (I close my eyes) but it’s very relaxing and my tight back feels great afterwards!

Specializing in pain management and sports medicine (a good fit for athletes), they have both dedicated their lives to serving the Charleston area by not only providing acupuncture, but other natural solutions such as herbal medicine, physical therapy, exercise/breathing therapy and more.

Market Review- Lower Mt. Pleasant

The 2023 January stats for Lower Mt. Pleasant show a decrease in the amount of homes sold, but an increase in pricing over this time last year (Average sales price of $887,799 in 2022 vs. 1,076,941 in January, 2023) Homes are taking a bit longer to go under contract, with an average of 21 days on the market vs. 16 days in 2022. But really… 21 days? That doesn’t sound too bad!

Local experts agree that the market will continue to normalize in 2023, however, January stats for Lower Mt. Pleasant emphasize that the market is still strong with low inventory, which allows pricing to continue to rise.
