When Only the Best Will Do

Monday, May 19th, 2008

As far as real estate franchises go, there are lots to choose from. Century 21, Coldwell-Banker, and Prudential are a few of the biggest. The biggest in the Charleston area is definitely Prudential Carolina real estate. They sell more houses than anyone else in the area – condos, single family, apartment, historical homes, restored mansions, plantation homes, even light commercial, restaurant, and retail real estate. I highly recommend checking them out!

Owning your Piece of the Past

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Looking for a vibrant community in which to retire, one with that feels more like home than heaven’s waiting room? Instead of the usual suspects – Arizona, Florida, California – why not check out historic Charleston. Real estate prices here are a fraction of what they are elsewhere, the cost of living is lower, and the medical facilities are on par with if not better than what you’ll find elsewhere. Old historic beachfront mansions, restored plantation homes, and a history of real estate price increases all paint the picture of a Charleston that has historically been and will continue to be a good place to live and to invest.

A Touch of Southern Charm

Monday, May 19th, 2008

If I had to pick my favorite true southern city, I’d have to pick Charleston. The historic waterfront, the fantastic restaurants and shopping, and the beautiful weather all make Charleston a lovely city in which to reside. What’s more, Charleston real estate won’t set you back much more than comparable real estate in, say, Savannah, where you won’t even get beach front or waterfront. Whether it’s a historic plantation-style house or a condo near the college, Charleston real estate is worth every penny.

Life on the Beach is Beautiful

Monday, May 19th, 2008

There is one aspect of global warming that’s worth considering when making real estate investments, especially if you live on the eastern coast of North, Central, or South America: namely the warming of the Atlantic. Beach real estate is going to be a more precarious investment because insurance is going to run much higher as water levels continue to rise, owing to the melting ice caps. This means that in Florida, Palm Beach and Miami could be cities protected by levies if no gradual shift inland takes place. It also means that semi-coastal communities like Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and Atlantic beach will become prime beach front real estate, making them a good investment now, as long as you don’t have to shell out for the expensive flooding and hurricane insurance premiums paid for beach front properties.

Job Hunting in Jacksonville

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Last week, I flew to a real estate brokerage to see about a job in Jacksonville, Florida. Real Estate isn’t necessarily my top career choice but a job with the best real estate broker in southern Florida wouldn’t be so bad. I learned that this brokerage is getting some of the highest prices for sellers while also managing to sell more property than other brokers who would short-sell their sellers’ homes. What’s more, Jacksonville is poised to see a big recovery in housing prices following a bit of turmoil, which only means that commissions will be going up, up, up. The company specializes in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, especially Ponte Vedra and Atlantic beach. That bit of diversity would probably keep things interesting enough for me to stick around.

What Happens When the Real Estate Bubble Bursts?

Monday, May 19th, 2008

A lot of people feel like they missed out during this last housing boom. But those who bought Jacksonville Real Estate are feeling the pain in a big way now, with median prices on single-family homes falling over 12% year over year. Many are also quick to point out that now is a real buyers’ market with the potential to realize gains more permanent gains on an investment in a home than they would have been if you had bought in, say, 2004.
