Spring Charleston real estate listings jump
Conventional wisdom has it that lots of home sellers in Charleston tend to take their homes off the market during the holidays and once again offer them for sale during the busy spring selling season.
This year is no exception.
During December, 1134 homes came off the market due to the listing either expiring or being withdrawn from sale. Many of the expired or withdrawn listings are likely included in the 1782 homes listed for sale in January and the 1357 homes listed for sale in February (with a few days still remaining in the month).
Charleston homes for sale tend to come and go on the market every month. Of course, it's better when they go under contract to go off the market rather than simply getting re-listed so if you are interested in getting your home sold instead of just dusting the cobwebs off the for sale sign, a price adjustment should be part of your plan. And making your home easier to show and showing better by improving the condition and appearance goes a long way toward getting that elusive contract.
Activity by buyers thus far this year is busy. I'm working with lots of Charleston home buyers actively looking for homes to buy. But if you are selling, there is still lots of competition. And it's important to remember that everyone wants a great deal.
