Charleston SC area 2020 Real Estate Statistics


Happy 2021!

I hope that you had a wonderful Holiday season and that your 2021 has started well!  What a year...right?  Like you, I am hoping for a much more normal year.

The real estate market in the Charleston SC area was also abnormal with the busiest year on record.  As you will see from this report, sales were brisk with listing dates on the market now some of the lowest I have ever seen in my 18 years in the business.  If you are thinking about selling after spending way too many days in your home, this may be the perfect time to do so!  Give me a call so that we can chat about my preferred marketing plan designed just for your home...You may be surprised about the current value of your home...No obligation of course!

Spring is just...about...here...in the Charleston SC area!




In this place that we lovingly call the Charleston Lowcountry, we have been having some of the most amazing weather with above normal temps and sunny skies.  I have already spent time watching the College of Charleston playing baseball at Patriots Point and I have been enjoying some time in the many outdoor spaces that are part of what makes this place so special.  I guess that we earned these beautiful days after 5 straight days of ice and snow on the ground...Something that we never have to deal with, thank goodness!

Along with the good weather comes an uptick in the real estate market too.  We are in the 4th year of exceptionally low inventory so prices are starting out a little high but there are still some pretty good deals!  Last year's market was pretty brisk and 2018 is trending the same direction...More on that in future blogs!

When we start to have these good days, I start taking inventory of my flower pots and dream of what beautiful flowers I might put in them.  While cleaning them up is a huge task, it is worth it when the new blooms put on a show!  The following blog on container gardening is a great way to get in the mood to plan for the Spring and Summer.  I hope that you enjoy it!  If you are thinking about a move to the Charleston SC area or if you just want info for a visit, give  me a call at 843-442-2219, shoot me an e-mail at cflowers@woodsflowers.com, or visit my website at Your Charleston Ticket ...There is NEVER any obligation!  The thing that I like most about what I do is the incredible people that I have met over the last 16 years as I introduce them to this place where I have lived my entire life!  

Until the next time...

Explaining today’s real estate inventory shortage: Consumer confidence and competitive market theories fall flat | Inman News





Inventory in the Charleston, SC area over the last year has the lowest that I have seen in the 12 years that I have been taking care of Buyers and Sellers.  This article shares some potential theories...



Explaining today’s real estate inventory shortage: Consumer confidence and competitive market theories fall flat | Inman News



I have thought sometime that the First Time Home Buyer Credit could be at play since some Buyers who took advantage of that opportunity are nervous about the payback requirement so they are waiting to sell and buy again.  I have also thought that since so many homeowners were underwater that they may have refinanced to a lower interest rate  making them very comfortable in their home for awhile or that that some in that position may have taken advantage of a number of  Federal programs allowing them to have a portion of their principle forgiven which may keep them in their homes longer.



One thing is for sure...there are far more buyers than sellers in some places in the Charleston SC area and that is impacting prices!



If I can help with any of your Real Estate needs in the Charleston area I hope that you will contact me at 843-442-2219 or you can visit my website Your Charleston SC Area Home to browse and get additional information.  I would love to help you find your special place in this place that I have called home all of my life!

One Shining Moment , NCAA March Madness...Like Real Estate?





Spring will arrive soon and what do I think about when Spring arrives?  No, not birds, not flowers budding, I think about the NCAA Tournament. 

I am not a North Carolina Tar Heel fan, but I do love the tournament, Luther Vandross, and this, my favorite version of the end of tournament tribute that is played each year.  I also love the TOURNAMENT...the event that brings so many people together from every corner of the country, and from every walk of life.  This annual event breaks the barriers of color, of socioeconomic divisions, of generations, and of genders. 

As a residential Realtor in the Charleston SC area, I think that my love of competition has served me well in taking good care of my clients...Not that I believe that all real estate business is about competition, but like the students who give everything to reach their dream of playing in this amazing tournament, I think that it is my job to do all that I can to help my clients realize their dream of home ownership or their dream of realizing their financial plans by selling a home or purchasing an investment property.

I would love to help you to...Not with your brackets, but with your real estate needs!
