One LowCountry City Voted One of the Best Places to Live in the United States

CONGRATULATIONS to the City of Goose Creek!!
Money Magazine has honored this community with a spot on its annual ranking of 100 Best Places to Live in the United States for the very first time!
Of course, it did not take Money Magazine's distinction to put Goose Creek on the "hot sheet" for both buyers and sellers this year. For the last few months, Goose Creek has seen incredible market activity for a number of reasons.
I hate to use a cliché, but it is true ---- YOU GET MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
Take a look at this side by side comparison of Goose Creek's sales price per square foot next to the price of the rest of the homes in this market that have closed during the same period. You can see the savings are buyer-friendly in comparison to other areas.
While a lower price per square foot is definitely in the PLUS column for buyers, sellers also see benefits from Goose Creek's hot market.
Take a look at homes for sale ---- across the LowCountry volume is VERY low for current homes listed as compared to the same period in 2019. This certainly benefits sellers, with buyers having a smaller number of homes to choose from, properties are selling at record speed and for TOP dollar. Right now, sellers are not having to deal with the typical headaches of listing their homes, such as longer days on the market and low ball offers. In today's market, most of the headaches are being felt on the buyers' side, with it becoming a multi-offer situation on most properties that are new to the market.
Even as aggressive of a market the LowCountry has become, buyers are NOT hiding in the corner and waiting.....THEY ARE BUYING!
Take a look at the number of closed sales in comparison to the same period last year.
BUYERS ARE BUYING and SELLERS ARE SELLING ---- What we do need are Owners TO LIST!
While I believe EVERY LowCountry community is a top place to live, Goose Creek received the honor for not only affordable home prices but also for an array of outdoor activities offered, dozens and dozens of restaurants and shops, great schools, low crime rate, and its close proximity to major employers like Google and Volvo.
Now that you know all of the terrific things Goose Creek has to offer let's talk about a new Goose Creek listing that just hit the market!
406 Farm Road in the heart of the city has just been completely renovated inside and out.
The exterior makeover includes new paint, new roof, new windows, and beautiful easy to maintain landscaping.
Once inside...WOW....an open kitchen with huge island, new flooring, new fixtures, new appliances, and new paint to just name a few upgrades. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath also has a large flex room off the living room that can be used either for your home office or a quiet place for kiddos to do school work.
Stop by Saturday 9/26/2020 from 11am-2pm to walk thru with me to talk about the home, the real estate market, and the community!
