In an effort to keep you informed as to what your local real estate market is doing in Kershaw county, SC; I will be posting regular updates regarding closed sales and current inventory.  As of the date of this blog entry (2/19/2009) there are 271 residential properties on the market in the West Wateree (Elgin and Lugoff) and 244 residential properties in Camden/Cassatt/Bethune areas. 

In January, the West Wateree area saw 11 closed home sales, ranging in price from $25,000 up to $200,000.  The Camden area had 7 transactions (per CMLS stats) ranging in price from $32,000 up to $280,880.

The same time period in 2008 saw 32 closed transactions in the West Wateree and 19 in the Camden area.   The area real estate market has experienced a slow down as evidenced by these numbers; however, appraised values continue to hold strong.  There are foreclosures and short sales in the market place but not to the percentage as has been seen in other real estate markets, so that has been an asset to individual homeowner values locally.

On a different note- congratulations to Lugoff-Elgin Middle School for being a finalist for the Palmetto's Finest award.  Certainly a huge pat on the back to staff, administrators, pupils and parents for achieving the finalist award- good luck in the final stages!  We're all rooting for you.
