Merry Christmas!

The following text was taken from a Facebook live video on 12/9/22


What an awesome day to be in the low country. There are so many festivities that are happening this week as we kick off this holiday season. The Summerville Parade is going to be on Sunday afternoon. The Sounds of Christmas, which I'm personally narrating, is going to be on Sunday afternoon, performance at 3:00 and at 5:30. There is just so much liveliness that gets celebrated here in the Charleston region. So I hope that you'll join me as all of the fun is happening.


Today, I'm bringing to you a quick market update to tell you what's happening in the sales within Charleston. Even though it is the holiday season, we've had a pretty good selling week this week with 218 total properties going under contract. 388,000 is the median sales price. 388,000. That's holding pretty strong guys. 10% of our sales this week were in a million dollar plus price point, zero for sale, or... I'm sorry, short sales or foreclosures. So don't expect that to change anytime soon. It's still a strong market, especially if you're a buyer. You're able to find properties that might meet your criteria, and so reach out to us.


This one back behind me is actually on the market. It is in Daniel's Orchard, which is in historic Summerville. It is a wonderful house. I'm going to showcase it here in a minute, but let me tell you about Daniel's Orchard. There are 52 properties in this neighborhood. It's a gem of a location because you're as close to the interstate as you can be and staying in Dorchester County. So it does have Dorchester County schools, which are highly sought after, but it also is close proximity to the interstate and walking distance. And golf carting distance bike rides into downtown Charleston. You can also walk to the elementary and middle schools, which is a huge plus as well.


So there is so much to love about the community. We just showcased the green space. There's a gazebo, there's a fire pit, all overlooking from this house. In a true low country style home it is, from the color of the outside all the way through. Let's go in and take a peek.


So this house is currently listed for $525,000. It is five bedrooms guys, five bedrooms, with the master down. There's some other great features that are in the downstairs as well. We walk in to a nice foyer. It drives me nuts when you walk into a home and you don't actually have a nice greeting spot for your guests or family who are coming to visit. So this does have a nice, really warm, open foyer. Hardwood floors are carried throughout the downstairs.


And let's see. We've got a formal dining room here, wainscotting, tray ceiling, all the things, all the formalities that you would want in your formal dining space. And then we have a nice open concept throughout the downstairs on the back of the home. It has family room with the gas fireplace, big kitchen, tile backsplash, granite countertop, stainless appliances, gas stove top. Again, all the things that you're going to want in your higher-end house. Another great strong perk to this house is this back screened porch.

And I will tell you these houses were built by Pulte Homes and not many of them have this large of a screened porch. So this is a really great perk because you get outdoor living. Let's be honest, it's a big deal for us here in the low country. We love our outdoor spaces, but we do have some little pesty gnats and mosquitoes. So this screened porch will help give you that protection from those.

But if you're looking to grill and just have some nice lounge spot outside, we have a patio and we still have green space. So you're not giving up your yard for the sake of having just the screened porch and patio. You still can have it all. So let's take a walk back inside and I'll tell you about the upstairs of the house.


I guess one other thing to highlight as well, that's a really cool feature, this laundry room is downstairs, but one thing that my house at home does not have that I love about this one, look at this space. It can be a folding table, which is what they use it as. You could line this wall with shelves if you needed additional storage and if you like to stock up at big box stores for all of your paper goods and food items, tons of space, who doesn't need an extra storage pocket?


It has a home office up in the front of the house. Just tons of wonderful features throughout. Upstairs houses the master, it houses three more bedrooms. And let's see... A loft area is upstairs as well. There's no lacking space. The home office can be a bedroom as well, guys. So if you need... Because there's a full bath tucked away over here in the corner. So if you needed a mother-in-law suite, or maybe it's a guest room that's a little protected against the crazy of your family, then it's down here if you needed that.

So tons of space in this house offered again for $525,000. The house will be open this weekend. So stop by from 12:00 to 2:00 just before you head over to the Summerville Christmas parade. You get the chance to stop in and take a peek, learn more about the house and all that Daniel's Orchard has to offer.


Have a wonderful weekend guys, and Merry Christmas.

South Carolina is known among many things for its beaches, its vibrant cities such as the cobblestoned street-lined Charleston, its many golf courses, and, of course, sweet tea. But let's not forget the beautiful creatures who live here, too, including more than 65,100 horses. In 2010, South Carolina even designated The Marsh Tacky as the state horse.

While serving your country, you and your family get uprooted every few years and shipped off to some new town, where you must find yet another place to live. The job conveys some great perks but does not include the pay, making it hard to save, invest, and, most of all, build wealth.
