[Despite the chaos] Interest in Charleston real estate remains steady and strong
Despite the recent chaos in the financial markets, statistics of website visitors indicates that interest in Charleston real estate remains steady and strong (and that surprised me just a little bit).
I'll be honest, my phone hasn't been ringing as often in the past month as it normally does. Well, of course, the telemarketers are still calling me to sell me leads or with promises of putting my website on page one of Google.
(So don't be a lead, know who you are really dealing with and be a client and thankfully, this website is already on page one of Google.)
You can clearly see that over the past year, traffic corresponds with the normal seasonality of real estate. The last quarter of the year is usually a little less busy. Right after the holiday season, traffic surges immediately after the first of the year, peaks during the end of spring and slowly declines over the summer until we're right back to the last quarter once again.
Now let's look at the chaotic last 2 weeks of October when you might have thought that everyone has thrown their hands up and just given up as the stock market melted down.
But with a daily average of 132.62 visitors per day, October is projected to have 4111 visitors which compares very favorably with the 4140 visitors in September and 3840 visitors in October of last year.
So what's the outlook. Charleston remains a desirable place to live and real estate as an asset class has not disappeared from the face of the earth.
So give me a call and let's talk about your next Charleston home.
