How is today’s Lowcountry real estate market different than the 2008 market?

If you recall, the real estate crash of 2008 resulted in approximately a 30-35% reduction in housing value across all of the gated communities in the Lowcountry. There had been a “run up” of prices built on a panic buying of “flip” buyers owning many properties outside their financial capabilities. Banks were lending money like it was water, and when the world stopped in September 2008 banks and locals were caught with an enormous amount of useless debt and foreclosures were everywhere. The irresponsible buying and lending resulted in the collapse of a glass house of poor real estate decisions. Fortunately, most communities recovered their value over the years and recently escalation has been through the roof. What’s different this time as the real estate…

7 Household Expenses You’re Probably Wasting Your Money On

"They were this gorgeous, greenish-teal, and they looked great in my laundry room," says Eliesa Prettelt, avid DIYer and author of "A Pinterest Addict" blog.

The washer/dryer combo was perfect. Such a delightful way to brighten laundry day — with a cheerfully colored front-loader set. They could actually make laundry fun!

But after barreling through three sets in four years, she knew she'd made a mistake. "They looked so pretty, but I had nothing but problems with them," she says.

She eventually gave up and got nondescript, white, commercial-grade top-loaders she scored for less than half the cost of her original machines. They may be plain, she says, but "I've had no problems since."

Lesson learned. The hard way. Now for learning the easy…

Do You Believe Homeownership Is Out of Reach? Maybe It Doesn’t Have To Be.

It turns out, millennials aren’t the renter generation after all. The 2022 Consumer Insights Report from Mynd says there’s a portion of millennial and Gen Z buyers who are pursuing homeownership as a way to build their wealth, but it may not be exactly the way previous generations have done it. The study explains how they’re breaking into the market:

“. . . younger generations of Americans are not buying into that dream in the same way that older generations have. A growing number of Americans are choosing to make their first real estate purchase as an investment property.”

Instead of buying a home and moving into it themselves, some young buyers are purchasing a home so they can use it as a rental. This tactic may be gaining popularity,…

One Size Doesn't Fit All: When Talking Real Estate

The constantly updating news feeds about the state of the real estate market can be scary, but it is definitely not a one size fits all situation. Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina offer something very different than many primary markets. The draw to be in the Lowcountry is strong, very strong. In fact, not only is there still a strong desire for purchasers but there is also still plenty of room for home appreciation in this market. The crazy fury of buyers from the last few years may have cooled some but there is still a steady stream of people looking to move into this area. 

The homes on the market that have stalled are typically over priced or the condition is lacking. Real estate is simple economics that weighs between pricing and…
