Market News from the Friday before Labor Day
I had a closing on the new construction home in Hollywood today. The buyers are really happy and they were great to work with. I hope they really enjoy their new home. I feel that they got a great deal.
I have Midtown tomorrow, and it’s looking like the weather will be nice, so I hope [...]
Labor Day Weekend in Charleston
I’m very excited about Labor Day weekend. Although I am working at Midtown on Saturday and Sunday, we still have plans for lots of fun stuff. My uncle, aunt, and cousin are coming in town tomorrow, and we have a family get-together at my parents’ house in McClellanville on Friday night.
On Saturday, Jeff’s brother, his [...]
Advice for Sellers: Remove the “Unknown”
I have a friend who is an Interior Designer, who we met down at Midtown today. She and her business partner are taking a look at one of our smaller units. It is an excellent space, and the least expensive property we currently have available. The address is 189 A St. Philip.
It is also our [...]
Wedding Dress Hunt
So, the wedding dress hunt went well- my sister picked one out and it has been ordered. Not that anyone who comes to this site for real estate info really cares about my sister’s wedding, but I do, so you have to bear with me.
On a Personal Note, The End of August
I can’t believe August is already almost over. It’s been so hectic and busy I hardly have time think, but that’s a good thing, I suppose.
My sister got engaged, and I’m going with her today to the Copper Penny, an upscale women’s boutique, that also carries wedding gowns, to look at a wedding dress she [...]
Monday Mortgage Update 8-18-08
Mortgage rates remained flat last week, as bad news on inflation was offset by bad news on the economy. The mortgage market started the week in “sell-off” mode as fear of an interruption in the flow of oil from and around the Georgia area, due to it’s skirmish with Russia, caused oil prices to increase [...]
Weekend = Beach Time
We’re going to a party in Summerville tonight. It’s quite the drive from McClellanville, but the party is for some good friends, so it’s well worth the drive. I think we’ll try to get there early and leave rather early, though, because I do have to work tomorrow. That’s one thing about real estate; you [...]
Advice for Buying New Construction
I am selling a new construction home in Ravenel. It’s a really cute home, and for a good price. We are supposed to close next week. Invariably, when you get to this point with a new home, you start to run into snags. The major one is that the builder always, always, always thinks it [...]
Trouble in Florida and Real Estate Ethics
I have a client having some major issues with the sale of a home in Florida. She has a contract on a home to purchase here, but cannot purchase the home unless the property in Florida sells. When she explains to me the situation with her contract in Florida, I really want to delve into [...]
Upper King Design District Walk
It’s been boiling hot here in Charleston for the past week, although I saw on the news last night that it is supposed to cool off a bit this week. I am not on this weekend at Midtown, although activity down there remains steady. In addition to the other two properties I mentioned, we have [...]
