"Alan helped me short sell my condo in South Carolina while I was living in California before short sales were common. Together we created a marketing plan that was re-evaluated weekly until the condo sold. Alan is an expert in his field, dedicated to his clients, and unique in his approach to getting results. I highly recommend Alan to anyone putting their home on the market."

“Alan is a truly fantastic Realtor. He is ever conscious of the needs of his clients, whether they are buying or selling a home. His knowledge of home construction and the typical defects that come during construction and through years of wear are very helpful to his Clients. I have worked with Alan on numerous home transactions and I have found him always to be very professional and enjoyable to work with. Alan is the type of Realtor who devotes a lot of time to each of his Clients, never hesitating to go out of his way to provide them excellent service. He is exactly the type of Realtor I would want if I were selling or buying."

1300565Class:ResidentialStatus:Contingent1300294Class:ResidentialStatus:ActiveThe residential real estate market in Mount Pleasant, SC continues to strengthen, as inventory continues to shrink and demand continues strong, fueled by low interest rates, attractive property prices and underlying demand resulting from the perceived quality of the public schools, convenient location close to Downtown Charleston, Boeing and the beaches, and great lifestyle.
The volume of annual sales in Mount Pleasant continues to grow (the number of homes sold per year has grown by about 52% since 2009).

Charleston, SC was in the news recently as the "Best Tourism Destination in the World" (Conde Nast Travel Magazine, 2012) and many other accolades.

The "overall" answer is YES. The "affordability index" (i.e. the relationship between home prices and interest rates) is at a very high level.
Most of the Charleston area (excepting Mount Pleasant and some segments of Daniel Island, areas in which the real estate market has turned around and prices are firming up) are still oversupplied - more than 6 months' inventory - and therefore prices are still soft (buyer's market).
Bear in mind that in our opinion the most important factor to consider right now (if you plan to borrow money) are interest rates. A 1% hike in interest rates will decrease your buying power by about 10%. And at this ...
