Look Out for the Retirees

Just read an article that South Carolina has now won out as the Retirement State of choice for Baby Boomers, this is a huge generation of people that are all about to begin retiring.

They interviewed 1,000 Baby Boomers across the United States and said which State do you want to retire to, and for the First time we beat out Florida, the list went like this

1. South Carolina
2. North Carolina
3. Florida

and then who cares who is after that.

With all of the great news about our area recently in the press NOW is the time to buy and take advantage of the foreclosures and short sales and get something at a deal before prices double again.

Homes are now selling and sales are way up but this is just the beginning.

Our First Home Ported Cruise Ship left earlier this week for its inaugeral cruise out of Charleston with Celebrity and then the Carnival Ship starts in April or May. I think they under estimate the impact that these ships will have on our area. People will come to catch the ship, stay a day or two before or after and fall in love with Charleston and then go back and make their plans to move here.

What an exciting time to be in Real Estate !!

Call me soon so you don't wait and say I wish I would have bought back in 2010 !!

Also, if you know of any agressive, young real estate agents that are willing to work hard and would want to make $100,000 per year, I have two openings on my team that need to be filled immediately so tell them to call me.
