MARKET KNOWLEDGE is the Best Defense against Buying Too High or Selling Too Low!

Your Charleston SC Real Estate purchase determines your profit, not the sale! I am constantly asked, "How much lower do I offer?" OR, "How much higher should I list my home?" There is NO one answer. Our Real Estate market is so volatile, you have to interpret the competitive market analysis for each subdivision in each area of Charleston SC Real Estate. Example: If you interpret the competitive market analysis and determine the price is under market value and you offer "a lot" less, what do you think the seller will do? Probably not negotiate any further. If the competitive market analysis shows the price is too high, then maybe the seller deserves a low offer. In some cases my buyers have offered more than the asking price to make sure they do not lose that particular home and amenities. Market Knowledge is knowing the market and structuring the offer in the best way to get to closing. Is that not the goal? To move into your new home with peace of mind.

Which area is the best for you?
Market Knowledge is also the comfort level to make a buying or selling decision. I encourage my clients to look for their dream home in all areas of Charleston SC Real Estate. How can you make a comfortable decision without comparing the amenities of your dream home in different areas of Charleston SC Real Estate. Once you openly discuss the pros and cons of housing in different areas you may be surprised to find your requirements have changed from what you originally though you wanted. That is self knowledge or maybe Market Knowledge! Friends can be cruel. Let me tell you a story about an out of town client that was looking to relocate to Charleston SC. They had relatives that live on James Island, so obviously they looked for homes on James Island. They could not find the right home. We then looked at West Ashley, Summverville and Goose Creek. Found exactly what they were looking for in Summerville. The Relatives said, "Oh NO, are you going to live with those "rednecks"? So, we went back to James Island. Could not find the right home. Finally, they decided to build their dream home in Summerville, despite what the relatives said. After the home was built, the relatives accompanied us on the walk through. I will never forget what happened next. The relative stood on the front porch looking over the neighborhood and said, "This is pretty nice"! I was in dis belief. And decided to ask, "How long has it been since you have visited Summerville?" He scratched his head and said, "You know what? It has been over 18 years." 18 years of holding an unrealistic view of another area. Please, understand what I am trying to say. Not that one area is better than another. Simply keep your mind open, and discuss what is important to your way of life. Check out what others say about other neighborhoods and VERIFY.
