The Charleston, SC region finished 2009 with 8,736 sales—up 1.0 percent from 2008. Supply was a different story in 2009 as the 19,111 new listings represented a drop of 3.1 percent from 2008. Strong sales and falling supply have helped bring the Months Supply of Inventory down to 12.8, a decline of 13.6 percent from a year ago and a sign that the market is moving slowly back towards equilibrium.

Whether you’re new to Charleston, SC or even lived here your whole life, here are a few ways to ring in 2010 in true Charleston Style.

Get Wet at the Dunleavy’s Pub Polar Plunge on Sullivan’s Island

Well, it may not be as cold as the northern waters at Conney Island in NY but rest asure that the Atlantic Ocean In January even in Charleston, SC will have you shaking to your core. That however will not stop over 2,500 people from taking the annual New Year’s Day plunge to help benefit the South Carolina chapter of Special Olympics. What started almost 20 years ago as a drunken dare between friends at Dunleavy’s Pub, this event has catapulted into a well known tradition bringing in more people than Memorial Day and the 4Th of July to Sullivan’s Island, SC. In 2002 the event teamed up to help the Special Olympics and has raised over $200,000 for the organization. Some people take pledges to plunge, while others just do it for the fun. Even if you decide to stay warm on the sand, there is still fun to be had. Like many events of this nature, there will certainly be costumes and wild get-ups. Be on the lookout for Precious P and Jolly Jake, the life-size polar bears as well as the “Bucket Brigade” carrying donation buckets. If you are looking for a new tradition to kick off your new year in Charleston, SC, then join the party at Dunleavy’s Pub, 2213-B Middle Street on Sullivan’s Island, at 11 a.m.  The plunge will take place at 2 p.m.
