  In the Greater Columbia, SC area new construction tends to be the driving force behind the real estate market and chances are if you plan to sell a home anywhere in Columbia you will indeed have to compete with builders. But that's not always a bad thing.   Builders, like everyone else in this business, are here to make money. In order to achieve this they focus hard on profit margin and raise prices when they have the opportunity to do so, and they have had that opportunity often in the past few years.  So why is that good news for you if they are raising prices? Well, if you purchased your home a few years ago and builders in your area have raised prices, you now have equity in your home and breathing room when you list. You have the ability to list at a slightly lower price for a f...

  We all know that Spring has officially sprung and with temperatures here reaching into the early 80's today it truly feels like it. I don't know about anyone else, but when the temperatures start to climb the first thing I think about is sprucing up my yard and luckily we have an even right here in Columbia that can help out.  The Midlands Plant and Flower Festival in Columbia, SC is happening right now at the state farmer's market and it is well worth checking out, even if you may not be in the market for new plants, you can still get out of the house and have fun looking around.  There is no doubt about plants being the star of the show and there are every kind you can imagine, from tons of annuals and perennials, to fruit trees, brushes, and even carnivorous plants.

  New construction homes continue to be a huge part of the real estate market in all of Columbia, SC and Lake Carolina. One particular example is Pinnacle Ridge at Lake Carolina where Essex Homes, a popular locally owned builder, has a detached town home style product that had been selling very well.   A new construction home in Lake Carolina for under $200,000. Selling well by the way is a bit of an understatement, but again a brand new home in Lake Carolina at the reasonable of a price is obviously very tempting.Search New Construction Homes for Sale in Lake Carolina

  I would have to call myself something of advertising and I really enjoy it when someone does it well. I like a good play on words and people or companies that have a little fun. For some reason that connects with me.  Recently I saw a commercial for a real estate company that explained their ability to sell homes faster and for more money than their competitors. They accomplish this as they explain, by not going the traditional route of looking at sold homes in the community but rather through their own method of predicting what a home is worth now that prices or rising. They can accurately predict what a home will sell for not based on homes that have closed, but by future value. This future value is of course the result of rapidly rising prices in the area and they are the only comp...
