We want to invite you to a Charleston RiverDogs game at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park as a way to say thank you, and we’re also raising money for charity. All of our friends, colleagues, and past and current clients are welcome. The game is on June 14th, and our free picnic will start at 6:00 p.m.

For every person that attends, we will donate $10 to the MUSC Children’s Fund in order to send children to Camp Can-Do, which is over on Seabrook Island.

Our goal is to donate at least $3,000, but we need your help to do so! We still have lots of tickets left, so just call the number on the screen and tell us how many tickets we should reserve.

There will be free food and drinks starting at 6:00 p.m., and the baseball game will start at 7:00 p.m.

Last but not least - it’s still a great time to sell a home in Charleston. We’re still in a seller’s market, but when rates rise it may be more difficult to sell a home. If you list now you can cash out and then buy a home when the market is in your favor.

Buyers should also be aware that it’s a great time to purchase with interest rates still so low. However, they may see a small rate hike in June that could affect affordability. If you’re thinking of buying, get in touch with us now before your affordability takes a hit and you’re knocked out of your ideal price bracket.

If you have any questions about this event or about our local real estate market, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Today, I’m here with a real estate market update for the Charleston area. I’m reviewing some data from this year’s first quarter! Additionally, I’ll talk about some great events happening locally in the next few weeks.

April is here and the azaleas are in full bloom! Our city looks beautiful this time of year. Summerville just had a great Flowertown Festival weekend. The weather was great for such a gorgeous event! It’s an opportune time to take a relaxing stroll through the Middleton or Magnolia Gardens. They’re definitely a must-see this season.

We recently had 35,000 visitors in town for the Cooper River Bridge Run. Despite the rain, the event went on with flying colors. Isn’t that incredible? We also had the WTA Tennis Tournament on Daniel Island from April 2nd to the 10th.

There’s still time to take advantage of other fun events happening this April in our area. Enjoy the 69th annual Garden Tours festival until the 25th. The Farmer’s Market has also already started with live performances. The Spoleto Festival is coming up in May, so it’s time to start planning for that, too!

And now it’s time for a market update. Our housing market is booming here in Charleston. Market activity has increased while inventory levels have stayed incredibly low.  Prices increased to 6.6% compared to last year, but they’re doing so at a reasonable pace consumers can keep up with. In January and February, buyer activity increased 10% compared to 2015. The median sales price right now rests at around $235,000. Will buyer activity exceed 2005’s and 2006’s records?

Charleston is at the top of the charts. Our city was voted number one by Conde Naste and other major publications. U.S. News & World Reports ranked our area as the 19th place to live in the entire country. 

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Charleston, reach out via phone or email. I’d be happy to help answer any questions you might have!
