Homes for Sale in Charleston SC Are Selling!

While I certainly do not have a crystal ball, I do know that homes for sale in Charleston SC are starting to have more showings now than anytime in the past few years.
I am certainly not one to dwell in the past, as the future can be a bright and sunny place if you choose to believe in it. This is especially true if you choose to believe what you see on TV and in the newspapers.
Think about it for a moment. Back in 2006 the market was at it’s pinnacle. Things were great. The media started to drip information into the American psyche that we were about to see the “bubble” burst. This slow drip started to see a steady flow of economists and other smart people beginning to predict the downfall.
Well, it happened. They were right. In 2007 the sellers who had homes on the market in Charleston started scratching their heads. The buyers stopped coming every day, and over the next few years, showings went from a steady stream to bleakness.
How did this happen? Were the economist smart enough to see the future? Or did they help make it a reality.
I think both. But here is the good news.
The same thing is happening in reverse. Turn on the news and you will start to see stories of the real estate market turning around.
Look to the closest Realtor and they will tell you that “inventory” is down and “house sales” are up.
Oops! Let me rephrase that.
Look to the closest Realtor and they will tell you that “supply” is down and “demand” is up.
So is the media such a force that they can will things to happen? I am not sure if this is the website to discuss such a conspiratorial conversation, but I will say that I saw it happen in 2006, and I can see the same but opposite effect on the homes for sale in Charleston right now.
Here is a question to ponder. Are we at the bottom of the market? Good question! I would “guess” to say yes. But does that really matter? Take a look at this past blog post for Nat's answer.
Regardless of the reason, homes are selling and I am glad to help so many people with the process.
Thank you Charleston!

Buying a home from you was like buying from a family member. You were honest, straight-forward and I could tell you were really looking out for my best interests at every turn. Beth Epstein
Well your low key approach worked. Not only did you sell our house in this challenged market in 23 days, you found us a great new home and the transition was seamless! We are really happy in our new home. Brian and Wendy Rollings
You were very honest, direct and I knew you were genuine when you talked us out of buying a house because of the location. Thanks for everything!. Kirk Matenaer
I commend you particularly for politely putting up with my sometimes cantankerous, if not outright offensive, goading for results; I now realize I was in excellent hands all along, and I could not have asked for better or more courteous direction in the whole process. Dr. Adam Smolka
Your research and explanation of the entire process left us feeling confident in your abilities to follow through and get the deal done like it should be. Bill Chakos
Your experience, your calming demeanor and your ability to consult us in such a streamlined fashion was invaluable. Tonya Chakos
We sincerely believe Nat's competence, hard work, attention to detail, and most important his immediate action were the reasons our home sold in one day. We are now able to make plans to relocate. Victoria and Daniel Doyle
