Before you hire a friend of the family to help you buy or sell your home, you should give this some thought….
*A savvy REALTOR® can properly advise on market value. As a seller, over pricing will cause you to sit on the market longer than anticipated, and miss potential buyers who will move on to another home.
*Negotiation Skills are key! Many times getting a deal done is a result of knowing what to say, when to say and how to say it. Your REALTOR® should be well versed and skilled when acting as the buffer between you and your buyer, in addition to providing you with a fiduciary relationship and confidentiality.
*Avoid the pitfalls! And there are many…every deal provides a new set of challenges and learning experiences. Closing more deals results in an educated agent who can help you maneuver through to settlement.

OLD VILLAGE/OLD MT. PLEASANT MARKET UPDATE:
The 2018 average sales price for single family homes in the Old Village/Old Mt. Pleasant was $816,000 compared to 2013’s average of $570,000. That represents an approximate 7.5% appreciation rate per year over the past 5 years! Amazing!
So what is expected for 2019? Local experts forecast another solid year, as there are plenty of buyers and inventory is still low. Interest rates will prove to be the “wild card” as rising rates will limit some buyers’ ability to purchase, potentially creating longer market times. But for today, according to “The Morning Brew” the 30-year fixed mortgage rates hit a 4 month low, which is welcome news! Full steam ahead!
Data obtained from the Charleston MLS, deemed reliable but not guaranteed. The 2013 sales average did NOT include 101 Venning St., which closed for $5,000,000.
