Charleston Home Sellers – Here is What You Should Expect From Your Realtor®

Charleston Home Sellers – Here is What You Should Expect From Your Realtor®

I don’t expect this post to be very popular.  I expect some real estate colleagues might get a little upset that I am pointing all this out.  I expect that you as a Seller, might get a little upset if you are not receiving everything I outline below. Well, so be it. I cannot stand for mediocrity any longer.  I...

Wagener Terrace Market Update – The 200K-300K Price Range is HOT

Wagener Terrace Market Update – The 200K-300K Price Range is HOT

You know my mantra.  Do not look at general statistics for an area to determine whether or not a market is hot.  You have to look at the neighborhood and your specific price range.  Before we discuss Wagener Terrace, remember here are some other areas that I have said are hot. Longborough under $500,000. (Only one available) Midtown (none available) Hampton...

Update on Bank-Owned Properties in Charleston

It’s been awhile since I last wrote in this series, but in reviewing my August post, I saw that it was in need of some updates!  So here’s what has happened to the ones I talked about then. 3 Sutherland Ave – 7 offers – asking price of $260,000.  My bet is that it will sell for above that. Details: 3...

Update on Handy Man Specials in Wagener Terrace

There are none.  That’s the update. Well ok – there are a few, but they are either overpriced, or not in a great location.  When I last wrote about the handy man specials in Wagener Terrace in May, continuing a series I have been writing for almost a year now, the situation was not much different.  Since then several have...

Small is the New BIG – Popularity of Diminutive Spaces is on the Rise

Small is the New BIG – Popularity of Diminutive Spaces is on the Rise

Small spaces – BIG lifestyle is the new choice for many… I caught this article on MSNBC today about the rise in popularity of smaller spaces, not only for Baby Boomers but also for Generation Y.  Lifestyle and proximity to culture, restaurants, shopping, services are seemingly more important than having room for your Costco purchases.  Here’s an excerpt: “John McIlwain,...

UPDATE: The Million Dollar Market in Downtown Charleston is Hot, Hot, Hot

When I last wrote this post it was March 16, or about two months ago.  Since then I’ve seen some action worthy of updating.  If you recall, I looked at all homes (2BR+) south of Calhoun St between $850,000 and $1,150,000 on the MLS and came up with these stats. In 2008 – a total of 9 sold. In 2009...

Penthouse Living in Charleston – Which Are The Best?

I’ve written about handy man specials in Wagener Terrace, about the hot million dollar market in Downtown Charleston, about condo buildings and the highest-priced home for sale on the Peninsula…but I haven’t yet touched penthouses.  Inspired by a recent open house in one, held during the Blue Angels performance, I thought I’d let you know what you can find, and...

The Million Dollar Market in Downtown Charleston is Hot Hot Hot

I am not just saying this because I am an agent insisting that ‘Now is a good time to buy!“(Cue eye roll)  I am saying this because the statistics are sorta blowing me away.  I called it when I said Wagener Terrace fixer-uppers were hot about 7 months back, and I mentioned this topic briefly in my February newsletter, but...

Update: Charleston Peninsula Auctions & Bank-Owned Homes

Update: Charleston Peninsula Auctions & Bank-Owned Homes

Update 2/25: – 30 Montagu St is under contract.  This one took a bit longer than the others – about 9 weeks, which is still faster than your average sale. SOLD 4/09 for $900,000 As you all know, I follow the homes that go to auction and come back as bank-owned.  I like to make THE BET – to predict...
