Nexstar Media Group founder Perry Sook and his wife Sandra bought 9 Nicklaus Lane on Kiawah Island for 16.15 million dollars, closing September 17. Kiawah logged 178 sales totaling 511 million dollars in the first half of 2026, with homes in the 5 to 10 million range up 78 percent year over year.
Why this matters here
The high end of the Kiawah and Johns Island market is where a lot of Lowcountry trade work, design, landscaping and property service revenue comes from. Sales at this level and the thin inventory behind them are a decent leading indicator for anyone whose business follows second home spending.
