We’ve got some great news to share about our great city. Charleston has recently been ranked the number two most popular destination for movers in 2016. The three contributing factors to this are strong job growth, low vacancy rates, and high affordability.

For us in Charleston, this means a few things. For one, more people are moving to the area. That’s obvious. We have 43 newcomers each day on average. Jobs will also continue to grow, as the Charleston region is ranked in the top-10 in the U.S. for job seekers.

Our median sale price has risen by 11.4%!

If you own a Charleston home, its value has likely risen. The median sales price is 11.4% higher right now than it was at the same time last year.

Are you sitting on the fence trying to figure out whether now is the time to sell your Charleston home? I have four compelling reasons why you should:

Low inventory, high demand. Not only do we have the people living in Charleston looking to purchase a home, but 70% of the people inquiring on our websites right now are folks living outside the area intending to move here soon. A lot of people want to be a part of our long-kept secret!
An influx of millennials purchasing. We refer to this as “pent-up demand.” These are people who are now old enough to purchase a home after living with their parents or renting for longer than they wanted due to the previous recession. Their collective need to buy homes has caused the market to continue to boom.

Home values are up. Did you know that we’re in a 9% higher price point than we were a year ago? If you couldn’t previously sell your home, you may now be able to.
Interest rates are at an all-time low. If interest rates go up 1%, that cuts a buyer’s purchasing power by 10%. This means that if you own a home that’s worth $300,000 and interest rates rise by 1%, a potential buyer for that house that could’ve gotten approved at $300,000 can now only get approved for $270,000.

Erich - "The Jeff Cook team was very helpful through the whole process. Everyone was incredibly pleasant and they really kept me calm during times I was worried that nothing was going to happen. They always gave me good information and were very willing to work with me."

Lee - "I was very impressed with how they kept in contact with me. There wasn’t a week that went by where I didn’t hear from them. Jeff has the most knowledge and we really felt that he would be able to take care of our needs and concerns."

Jeff - "When we found the home we wanted, we told our Realtor at Jeff Cook Real Estate and told her what we were looking for. She worked very hard to get us into the house quickly and really made sure things were moving along. She even made calls to the utility company and home inspectors that, to me, was above and beyond!"

"Our real estate agent, the divine Becca Hodges and the entire Jeff Cook team made buying a home in Charleston SC, while still living in Kodiak Alaska, 4500 miles away, anxiety free. Becca was able to take our long lists of wants and needs in a home and set up multiple search criteria. Essentially, the home of our dreams found us. She happily met with our parents, multiple times, as our stand-ins for showings and never wavered at the challenge of a 4 hour time zone difference for many phone conversations. Working with Becca Hodges and Jeff Cook Real Estate was a pleasant experience. We highly recommend them."

We had to move to another city before our house was sold and we were scared to death of having to pay a mortgage and rent at the same time for too long. Luckily, Jeff Cook and his team quickly sold our house. We had multiple showings daily for two weeks with great feedback (painting allowance requested, power wash the house, etc.). Those few things were done and soon enough we had two offers. Within the month we were under contract, and closed not even two months later. It felt like a miracle honestly, and we even came out on top! The team works so seamlessly together, and is efficient in each of their roles, you never have to wonder if they've forgotten about your house. I really can't express my thanks enough, they were a dream team to work with! Its just too bad we weren't buying in the area again. Jeff Cook move to Atlanta!"
