In the Charleston Metro area, including Summerville, SC, the weather is great and the market is improving.  In fact, Carolina One closed sales volume was up 23% in August compared to last year ... and 19% year to date.   July was the only month in 2010 less than 2009 ... a direct reflection of May written business, down because contracts were "pushed forward" due to the April 30 tax credit expiration.

Carolina One written business was up 10% in August compared to August 2009 and 14% year to date.

On balance, the market for sellers has improved.  Recovery will take time, be gradual, and bumpy.  This is the best opportunity for home buyers in many decades ... historically low interest rates, price affordability, and good selection in all price categories.  Buyers moving into the area for Boeing, CAFB, and the Naval Weapons Station will find great deals on pre-existing homes and new construction.
