[It's always] Location, location, location
I just received feedback from one of my listings (a very nice townhome in Mount Pleasant) and the showing agent indicated that the clients did not want to be in the first unit as they drove in to the community. Basically, the agent said that location was the issue.
Location is more than a good school district, access to shopping, dining or activities that interest you. You might consider how the home is located within the neighborhood or whether it backs to a busy street, are there power lines, is it too close or too far from the swimming pool and other amenities within the community, is it an interior lot backing to other homes or an exterior lot backing to a wooded buffer, is it an end unit or an interior unit, on a cul de sac or one of the streets that all the neighbors use to drive in and out.
Now in this particular instance, it's not as if the headlights from a car would aim right for your windows as you pull in and the unit is actually very nicely situated ... except that this particular home buyer did not want to be in the front of the neighborhood but preferred to be somewhere in the middle or maybe in the back.
If you are considering buying a home for sale in Charleston, before you make an offer, spend a moment and think about what potential buyers might be concerned with when the time comes for you to sell your home.
It's always, location, location, location.
And a good excuse for a little shameless promotion, Mount Pleasant townhome for sale, $179,900.
