The summer proved to be quite busy. In real estate, that's good thing. Our Columbia market has been so sluggish over the last year and a half, that we needed to get some energy shot into our economy. As we were all doing all the usual summer activities...beach trips, July 4th celebrations, day camps, Bible school, swimming lessons... there were also buyers actively out and looking at homes. And, buying them.
Rates continue to hover in the 3's, which still blows my mind every day! Buyers and sellers are coming together so that job transfers can move forward, downsizing can occur, moving up into the bigger house can occur. In short, our market is moving and that's good for us all.
So, what's up right now? Dottie & I have some really great homes listed and I thought I'd share a few of them. Even if you're not in the market for a new home right now, you may work with someone who's thinking about it, your cousin may be planning a wedding soon, a friend might be contemplating making a change. You never know who you know who is ready! One thing is for sure...we are ready for them. We appreciate your referrals and your business. When you need us, we're here.
This is a 3 bedroom patio home in the Ivy Green neighborhood in Irmo. The master suite is on the main level and features a walk-in closet & private bath. Bedroom 2 is on the front of the house, allowing for privacy and separation from the master. Bedroom 3 is upstairs, making it very private. The great room features a vaulted ceiling, open dining area and access to patio and courtyard sized backyard. The backyard is privacy fenced. Just enough room to plant flowers or maybe some vegetables but not enough to require lots of work! The kitchen is galley style with a open window into the great room so it doesn't feel separate from the rest of the house and all the goings-on. As you can see from the photo, it does have a one car garage that also contains a storage closet and pegboard for organizing. A great buy at $119,900.
This is a great home located in convenient Westover Acres. It has had many upgrades and improvements such as custom tile in kitchen, refaced cabinetry, updated lighting, updated bathrooms, new windows, gleaming hardwood floors, Corian countertops and smooth ceilings. Features include a formal dining room, large great room with fireplace, breakfast nook, pantry, bonus room over garage and large laundry room. All bedrooms are upstairs and are very spacious. The master suite features a handsomely updated bath and shower, and a walk-in closet with organizers. The sellers had the home professionally decorated by a local designer. Colors are stylish and will appeal to just about everyone! Outside, you'll enjoy a large stamped concrete patio (perfect place for a hot tub!), a detached garage/workshop with electricity and fenced yard. This beautiful all-brick home is a steal at $199,900.
Historic Melrose Heights! If you love old house charm but also enjoy modern conveniences, this is the house for you. Renovated to the hilt and ready to move right in. The house features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, new custom designed laundry room, granite counters, updated kitchen, ceramic tile, stainless appliances and maple cabinetry, a beautiful formal dining room with transoms & built-in corner cabinet, living room with gas fireplace and wonderful built-ins,and hardwood floors. It's fabulous on the outside too! Fantastic front porch, fenced newly sodded backyard, patio, and detached 3 car garage. I know, a 3 car garage downtown?? Yes, it's true. Garage has 3 car bays, serves as an excellent workshop and has electricity. And, as another super bonus, the seller installed closed cell insulation underneath the house, so energy efficiency is much better than you'd expect in an older home. So much to brag about on this great house. Modestly priced at $259,900.
