Greetings from the Grand Strand!
This month's edition is going to be short and sweet. Just about everyone is in holiday mode
so I won't attempt to present some big detailed analysis of one trend or another. I'll get back to that next month! Here are a just a couple of thoughts.
This is a great time to visit the beach. Lots of special events, shopping, seasonal Christmas shows at the numerous local live productions, and much more to do! You've already missed it for this year but one unusual gathering is the Annual Heart Association Beach Ride with over 2,000 horses on the beach.
An event my family never misses is the Nights of a Thousand Candles at Brookgreen Gardens. This truly spectacular event runs for 10 nights in December and is attended by over 40,000 people.
Here's a recent Sun News article of about it.
Here Is a nice video about the event.
By the way, a few people celebrate the holidays by buying real estate at the beach! Local resort property
sales typically slow down in December but they certainly don't stop altogether.
In fact,
some of the best deals of the year can be found this time of year.
As I advise every year about this time,
the market for resort properties heats up quickly after the holidays so many of the best "off-season" bargains are typically snapped up by the second or third week of January if not sooner.
And if you want to sell, there is no bad time to market your property. The right buyer could be out there any day of any season.
I'm sticking with my promise and keeping it short.
All the usual market reports as well as my Best Buys are included.
Come see me at the beach!
