As many of you have seen, the headlines in the newspapers regarding the real estate market have not been positive. But, note that not all US real estates markets are bad. Areas that never had the huge price increases, like Columbia, South Carolina, to begin with are not seeing the big price drops. Actually prices have INCREASED in 204 of the 287 US Metro Areas surveyed.
There are buyers out there! But, there are a lot of houses out there too! You need to make your home appealing to buyers. You may want to add incentives for the buyers…for example, paying all or some of the buyers’ closing costs or adding in all the appliances. Also, price your home accordingly. With so many houses on the market, buyers are looking for, and expecting a good deal. If your house is overpriced, good Realtors will know it and will skip showing it to their buyers.
The Real Estate Market in the Greater Columbia South Carolina Area is seeing an increase in home prices. Not all Real Estate Markets can say that. And, with South Carolina as the Top Ten Fastest Growing State we will see more and more buyers heading our way!
