This is the 500th post
... to the Charleston real estate blog and a big thank you to the many readers who stop by and spend a few minutes a day with me.

I remember when I started to write the Charleston real estate blog about a year and a half ago and just a month later, I got a phone call from Katy Stech, the real estate writer at the Post and Courier, who was researching an article for the newspaper about Charleston real estate agents who were blogging.
She asked about why I started, what I was writing about and how many views and comments my posts were getting. I said that at that time some posts were getting as many as 60 or 80 views. Comments weren't all that frequent just yet. I told her I was trying to write a post just about every day about some aspect of the market including Charleston market statistics and trends and whatever seemed to be of interest to real estate consumers (and that is just about what I've done and you can continue to expect).
Imagine my surprise today as I now see that many posts have hundreds of views, some posts have over 1000 views and the most viewed post, Commission and Possibly a Bonus Too has over 2000 views. I'm very grateful to those of you who stop by and make a comment, there aren't really as many as I might have hoped for and I understand that is fairly common for a local real estate blog but I do wish that more of you might interact.
Once again, thanks for stopping by, it's been a lot of fun for me and I hope you continue to enjoy my perspectives on the Charleston South Carolina real estate market.
