With this new tool, homebuyers can compare how housing affordability and everyday expenses vary across South Carolina.
CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Houzeo, America’s best home buying and selling website, has announced the launch of its Cost of Living Calculator. This has expanded Houzeo’s range of data-driven tools that help homebuyers make well-informed choices in a complex housing market.
The newly launched calculator allows users to compare everyday expenses across cities and regions. Houzeo’s cost-of-living tool breaks down key cost components—including housing, utilities, transportation, healthcare, groceries, and taxes—giving buyers a clearer picture of affordability beyond listing prices.
This calculator is built on a research-based framework that combines verified housing data, regional pricing indicators, and publicly available economic information. Housing costs are drawn from MLS-backed listings, while non-housing expenses are standardized using state and national benchmarks, allowing for consistent, side-by-side comparisons across locations.
The rollout comes as South Carolina’s real estate market continues to reflect noticeable differences between high-demand coastal destinations and more moderately priced inland communities. For buyers interested in premium markets driven by lifestyle appeal, Houzeo offers a curated list of luxury homes for sale in South Carolina, featuring waterfront properties, expansive outdoor living spaces, high-end chef’s kitchens, and resort-style amenities. When paired with insights into the cost of living in South Carolina, buyers can evaluate whether their desired lifestyle aligns with long-term financial comfort.
To assist first-time buyers, Houzeo also offers a detailed South Carolina first-time buyer guide that outlines the entire purchasing process—from financing and down payments to closing costs and state-specific considerations. These resources help first-time buyers approach homeownership with greater clarity.
With access to over 1.5 million listings nationwide, Houzeo continues to evolve beyond a traditional listings website into a comprehensive real estate intelligence platform. From comparing living costs to exploring luxury markets or understanding the first-time buying process, Houzeo is equipping South Carolina homebuyers with the data they need to make smarter, more confident decisions.
