Charleston real estate blog reader buys a home
Longtime Charleston real estate blog reader Jimmy (not his real name but his screen alias) closed on the sale of a home yesterday. I've had several clients who told me that they decided to hire me as their Charleston Realtor because they enjoyed meeting me through my blog but Jimmy was the rare exception who frequently commented on the blog.
Jimmy was very concerned about current Charleston housing market conditions and was very cautious about buying a home. He wanted to take his time and get a good deal. I would suggest that he did even better than that and that he got a great deal, 24% less than the sales price when the home previously sold at the top of the market in spring 2007 and 10% less than the current list price.
Best of all, it is a very nice home. Congratulations Jimmy, thanks very much and keep in touch, your thoughtful comments have always been appreciated.
UPDATE: A reader inquired in an email if this was a foreclosure or a short sale, actually, it was neither, simply a motivated seller who wanted to sell.
