This area has the old Charleston feel without the old Charleston problems. It is a beautiful neighborhood on the Ashley river. - Earlier today
Daneck, Home Buyer in Charleston, SC

Just learning about Foreclosures so bear with me as I try to wrap my head around REOs!

Asked yesterday, 11:44 by Daneck  -  General Area in Charleston  -  3 answers
Foster Smith answered:
Don't be deceived by this. It is obviously not correct.

There are many foreclosed homes available that are real deals. I just bought one personally two days ago. If you would like more information, please contact me:

Where did you get the price information on this house?

Foster Smith answered:
I certainly understand your concern, is your house currently listed for sale? If it is, your concern should be directed to your agent. If it isn't, this report will have no bearing on the value of your home - Wed Jul 8 2009, 09:15
Hoosier, Home Buyer in 29401

Charleston, SC - More foreclosures coming?

Asked Sat Jul 4 2009, 04:20 by Hoosier  -  Home Buying in 29401  -  7 answers
Foster Smith answered:
This is a rare opportunity to be a buyer. Never have interest rates dipped this low in 50 years. Housing will lead the way to recovery and the Charleston area will lead the nation more quickly than many other areas. This is a time for good research and analysis - but not a time for paralysis. I just bought another property today and am in the market constantly investing in our area. - Wed Jul 8 2009, 09:11
Danae, Home Seller in Summerville, SC

To rent or sell???

Asked Wed Apr 29 2009, 06:31 by Danae  -  Home Selling in Summerville  -  4 answers
Foster Smith answered:
The analysis of Ashborough is bleak. There are 8 actives in the similar size and age of your home. the average price per square foot is $114.25. The ave. days on market so far is 159.
BUT the sold market lists 4 houses at an ave. price per square ft. of $91.23. This puts your house far below what you paid for it.
Sell or rent? Selling now before it gets worse is a good option if you need to sell. Because renting it till the market recovers maybe a long wait. The current trend indicates the bottom of the market may be Nov. 2010. The recovery will therefore be around 2015.
So if you are willing to rent long term, that is your best option. But I don't want you to make a decision based on thinking the market will be back any time soon.
Sincerely,
Foster Smith
