Betty Poore: What's New on the Charleston Coast Blog: December 2008

I don't know if any other Realtors are experiencing this or not but all of a sudden I have buyers looking at property, both investment property condos and villas in the resort areas around Charleston) and residential property...this for families that are moving to the area on a permanent basis.

Not only that, I am experiencing a lot of activity on some of my well priced listings. Guess I may have just answered my own question.

Yesterday Mark and I were on a mission to find the freshest fish we could find for our dinner Saturday night. You see, we had read an article recently in The New Yorker about "crudo" and were intent on replicating the chef's success. (Although he caught a lot of his fish). Anyway, I was all set to write about our experience and then I read Mark's blog...which I encourage you to do. Great reading, great article. Enjoy by clicking here.

This past Thursday the Post and Courier ran a story on Charleston Home sales. The gist of the story is what we all know and folks are experiencing throughout the country. Homes sales are down, along with home prices. But, there is a silver lining in the article that is slowly emerging. As the prices drop, real estate becomes relatively more affordable, which translates in to more sales. To read the article, just click here.
