Dataw Island Fairway/Lagoon Home for Sale: 734 N Reeve Rd, MLS# 121302

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 at 11:03pm. 137 Views, 0 Comments.

734_n_reeve_rd_dataw_islandOur northern neighbors are still moving south despite the downturn in the real estate market. Too many folks have looked forward to playing golf in January instead of shoveling snow. Well, come on down! Rarely has the inventory been better, the interest rates lower and prices more appealing. Three years ago we were shaking our heads because the consumer got so little for so much. Now, it is the opposite. Buyers are getting a lot for their money. Look at this beauty located on Dataw Island, one of the south’s premier golfing communities. It is situated on an oversized lot and overlooks 3 fairways and 2 lagoons. This home certainly has the WOW factor with soaring glass walls that invite the light and wonderful, lowcountry views into the great…

Bermuda Bluff Island: The Beaufort Area Waterfront community you are looking for!!!

Monday, January 25th, 2010 at 1:13am. 208 Views, 0 Comments.

bermuda_bluff_island_dockRachel Field wrote a poem entitled "Once You Have Slept on an Island You Will Never be Quite the Same"  The residents of Bermuda Bluff agree with her.  This 150 acre island  is located on the Beaufort River (ICW) and is just a twenty minute drive from Beaufort.  There are 98 estate sized lots that are private and boast views of marshes and creeks, lake or the Intracoastal Waterway.  A low country summer afternoon is a perfect time to enjoy the refreshing pool  and a lovely sunset.  Try your hand at tennis on the recently re-surfaced court or enjoy nature as you explore the island from walking paths along the marsh.   Many residents enjoy dolphin and bird watching from the observation tower.  The community dock is a good place to do a little shark fishing…

Beaufort SC Home Sellers are Ready to Bargain According to October 2009 Statistics

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 at 10:31pm. 176 Views, 0 Comments.

Today we will take a comparative look at single family properties sold in Beaufort for the month of October 2009 and 2008. This will be a tough blog for me becuase, to be honest, there isn't a whole lot to take from comparing the past two Octobers. Even so let's take a look. I'm posting these numbers for those who don't have access. Total completed sales are very close with 66 this year compared an almost identical 64 closings last year. While these seem to represent parallel conditions, there was something I noticed.

Looking a bit deeper into the numbers, I did find a change that bodes well for buyers. Take notice of the difference in average list price vs. sold price for the two years. It seems that sellers are coming to grips with how bad…

New Home Listing in Walling Grove Plantation - 112 Old Plantation Drive - MLS #121587

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 10:56pm. 308 Views, 0 Comments.

Just this Wednesday one of the prettiest homes in Walling Grove Plantation, 112 Old Plantation Dr., was listed in the Beaufort MLS.  I remember visiting this house in 2005 when construction had just been completed and thinking how nice it was.  If the current listing pictures are any indication, the current owners have kept this house in top condition.

Open floor plan, gorgeous crown molding, upgraded lighting fixtures, 1.3 acre yard, privacy fence, front and back porches, vaulted ceilings, two (Yes two!!!) master suites, and salt water pool are just a few reasons why I consider this one the best homes in Walling Grove. Priced at a reasonable $447,500, buyers are certainly encouraged to preview this one.

Walling Grove Plantation is generally considered one…

The First 6 Months - 2008 vs. 2009: The Good, The Bad and The Statistics

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 at 2:17pm. 286 Views, 1 Comments.

With the the fist six months of 2009 behind us, I thought it was a good time to compare this year's home sales to 2008 sales in the same period.  As most of us know, 2008 was considered to be one of the worst real estate years on record.  So how does 2009 stack up?  Unfortunately, 2009 numbers paint a not-so-pretty picture.  While the most obvious numbers are down, I believe there are some positive signs.

In 2009, total residential closings are down 20% from 2008.  Last there were 447 sold from January through June compared to just 355 in 2008.  Even Beaufort's best selling community in 2008, Dataw Island, is down from 16 to 6 sales (though 6 are currently pending).  But not all is as bad as as the data indicates.  One statistic I found positive was that…
