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.
