Charleston SC Real Estate Blog

It occured to me that my posting on the media might create the wrong impression. I must give Kudos to the Post and Courier's overall coverage on Charleston SC Real Estate. Frequently, they publish reports highlighting industrial parks coming to our area, local Broker comments highlighting a level of optimism on our market and fairly report the nation's overall outlook on real estate. The major networks (even more than the local news) are the one's reporting real estate in a negative fashion. It's the typical media "spin" that makes for higher ratings that is creating opportunity for real estate investors right now. You can research more about Charleston area real estate trends also at http://www.charlestonmarketreport.com, another site with mostly unbiased reporting of market trends. Brad, the Blogger of that report, has done a very good job of using real numbers to report our "real Charleston SC Real Estate market."

It's certainly good to see front page stories by The Post and Courier about $130 million dollar Towne Center Transactions, 10,000 job industrial parks, and a (now twice yearly), booming housing market report (one of which was published a couple Sunday's ago). Perhaps, our local media and real estate community should continue spreading our market-wide optimistic views to the World as Charleston SC Real Estate continues to shine in 2006 in the face of a very down-market. And, it looks like we're near the low-point of our down-trend.
