Allendale Housing Update: Sales Slow, Low Prices and Acreage Listings Stand Out
Allendale, SC – March 21, 2026 – Home prices remain low in Allendale County, with limited sales and a mix of budget homes and large acreage listings shaping the market.
Allendale Housing Market Update
Allendale, SC continues to see a quiet housing market this March, with limited sales activity and some of the lowest median prices in the state.
Top takeaways
- Median sale price in Allendale County was $29,000 in January 2026, down 19.4% year over year.
- Only one home sale was recorded for the month, reflecting very light transaction volume.
- Active listings range from sub-$75,000 homes to 10-acre properties near $300,000.
Market snapshot
According to Redfin data for January 2026, the median home sale price in Allendale County was $29,000, with price per square foot at $18. Both figures were down significantly compared to the same time last year. Just one home sold during the month, underscoring how thin inventory and buyer activity remain.
For context, a recent sale recorded in mid-January closed at $144,900 in the 29810 area, showing that higher-priced properties can still move when condition and land value align with buyer demand.
What’s for sale now
Current listings highlight the range of opportunities in the area:
- A two-bedroom, one-bath home built in 1950 listed at $72,900, offering an entry-level option for investors or first-time buyers.
- A 10-acre tract on Burtons Ferry Highway listed at $299,900, featuring two mobile homes and older brick structures with redevelopment potential.
- Income-restricted rental options such as Twin Oaks of Allendale, where approved units range from $216 to $381 per month based on eligibility.
Large lots and rural acreage continue to define the local market, with many properties marketed for recreational use, hunting camps, or long-term land holds rather than traditional subdivision development.
Outlook
With extremely low median pricing and minimal monthly sales volume, small shifts in buyer activity can have an outsized impact on reported trends. Sellers appear to be pricing aggressively, while buyers remain selective. As spring progresses, listing activity will be worth watching to see whether inventory expands or remains tight.
