February In Charleston

February in Charleston is here. We all know that means Super Bowl time! For all the animal lovers out there is the annual Dock Dog competition and all things SEWE on the weekend of 17-19. Amazingly, Dave Chappelle is in town for 4 shows in 2 nights at the Music Hall. (Bill Murray has been spotted). Boxcar Betty’s chicken sandwich was voted best Fried Chicken by Foursquare. Lastly, Charleston was rated 19th best city for ultimate livability by US News and World Review…. it’s number 1 in our minds!

January 2017 was the busiest January we’ve ever had. Many things are pointing to 2017 having the highest volume year in history. Don’t miss out on getting into this hot real estate market! Volvo is going to open a plant this year in the Goose Creek/Summerville area. You can still buy a home on that side of town for $100/sqft. Mt Pleasant continues to be one of the most desirable areas with homes averaging around $200 / sqft. The new mayor, John Tecklenburg is intent on reviving West Ashley. It’s a great central location and you can buy there for under $150/sqft. New construction continues to blossom and is currently booming on Johns Island and should be on everyone’s investment radar!
