Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... hate to burst that bubble, but... we are desperate for inventory... that's why homes priced and marketed well sell so quickly.

Nina, as you say, price it right, they will sell, as the inventory is so slim in Fort Mill.

Good morning Nina,

With inventory so low if a seller will price their home right, have the home staged for a great presentation to the audience of buyers and have the home marketed extensively the home will sell!

Hi Dorie... I couldn't have said it better myself! It's all about home preparation, great marketing, appropriate pricing. And yet, I see so many listings that are luck to have one of the three elements. Then they wonder why their homes don't sell.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® hi Sheri... from your lips to God's ears is all I can say. So far we are seeing some of the tightest inventory in our area I can recall. If there's nothing to sell it doesn't auger well for sales.

George Souto good morning, George... sales were very, very low in February in Fort Mill. Fortunately they increased in March instead of going down further.

Endre Barath, Jr. you're spot-on, Endre. Whenever I see a home in an in-demand area of Charlotte with high DOM, I can always tell that it's been priced too high and/or not marketed well.
