berkeley county: Has Crowfield Hit Bottom? - 09/15/09 08:05 AM
Lately the news media has indicated we may be at or near the bottom of the housing market crisis nationally. Since all real estate is local, why don't we take a look at what's happening in Crowfield Plantation, Goose Creek, SC, as we head into the fall of 2009.
OVERVIEW Most agree that the height of the market was at the end of 2005 (I bought my first house in December 0f 2005, how's that for timing?). We saw a leveling off in 2006, and 2007 marked the beginning of what we now know as a spike in inventory and drop … (2 comments)

berkeley county: Hardship is in the Eye of the Beholder - 05/20/09 12:39 AM
Since January I've been working with a client on getting his house sold. It's a short sale. I know those are bad words for a lot of folks, so I apologize for hurting tender eyes by using them. But it is what it is.
My guy bought his house with his wife when they had two incomes, he was younger, and she was alive. While his wife was sick with cancer, my client had to retire from his job to take care of her. His income nearly cut in half when he did that. He refinanced his house to help pay … (5 comments)

berkeley county: Banks Write Their OWN Rules - 04/07/09 04:09 AM
Last week I helped my buyer client write an offer on a bank-owned, foreclosed property. We set the expiration of the offer at 5:00 Friday afternoon (last Friday). We wrote the offer on Tuesday (last Tuesday). The bank set the listing price. The bank should know what they are willing to accept for the property, right? This is not a short sale, so there should be MUCH LESS red tape to cut through to get the ball rolling, right?
That was my thinking when we wrote the offer.
Well, here it is, Tuesday, seven days after we made the offer. Two … (5 comments)

Come visit me there tomorrow - it's in Crowfield Plantation, at 144 Chatfield Circle. This house is really a great house at a great price.

The three secondary bedrooms are upstairs with … (0 comments)
