Hurricane Preparation In Charleston

07/05/2020 by billbyrd

Hurricane Preparation In Charleston is a yearly event. Each year local residents prepare for the storm season in their own unique ways. And some, wait until the last minute or prepare very little. Many of us having lived through many storms in our lifetimes, simply know what to do and just do it. It’s just part of life living on the coast. While those that are new to the area might need a little coaching about Hurricane Preparation.

With the peak of Hurricane season being September 10th, now is a great time to break out your hurricane preparation checklist and make sure you are ready before the tropics really heat up!

Hurricane Preparation Facts

  • Hurricane Season is from June 1 to November 30.
  • Hurricanes are tropical storms that reach 74 mph sustained winds.
  • They primarily originate over the warm waters near the equator in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, The Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific.
  • Hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
  • They rotate around a circular center called “the eye”.
  • Most hurricanes form well out in the oceans and never make landfall.
  • Storm Surge can cause lots of damage. It is caused by the strong winds of a hurricane as it moves close to shore.
  • Storm Surge causes water levels to rise, and the creation of large waves.
  • Once a tropical depression becomes a hurricane it is named by the World Meteorological Organization.
  • The names used for Hurricanes come from a pre-designated alphabetical list.
  • Find other Hurricane Facts at The Weather Channel

Hurricane Preparation Resource

Hurricane Preparation

One of the best resources we’ve discovered for hurricane preparation was developed by Charleston County. Click this link to download the Charleston County Hurricane Preparedness Guide

Here is an excerpt from the guide:

Check into flood insurance.

You can find out about the National Flood Insurance Program through your home insurance agent. There is normally a 30-day waiting period before a new flood insurance policy becomes effective for an existing residence. Homeowner policies do not cover damage from the flooding that accompanies a hurricane.

Develop an emergency communication plan.

In case family members are separated from one another during a disaster (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), create a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact.” After a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, phone number, and e-mail address of the contact person.

Make sure that all family members know how to respond after a hurricane.

Teach family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity, and water. Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police, or the fire department, and which radio station to listen to for emergency information.

Create an Emergency Supplies Kit.

Because deployment of relief supplies and support to affected communities can be delayed or prevented due to damaged or impassable bridges and roads, assistance from emergency services may not be available for up to 72hours, or longer, following a major natural disaster.

Prepare your home.

Once a tornado, hurricane, or major storm hits, it’s too late to protect your home and property, but there are preparations you can make in advance to limit future wind and flood damage. Some are fairly simple and inexpensive; others will require a contractor. You’ll need to consider the characteristics of your home, your financial resources, and the building codes in your community.

So make sure you’re ready when the storms start developing off the coast. The best ways to stay informed are to keep an eye on The Weather Channel.

Charleston Mid-Year Market Report!

07/05/2020 by billbyrd

July 15, 2020

You can't always get your way when buying a short sale

Here in the Charleston Mid-Year Market Report, Charleston Real Estate Sales continue to be strong. Typically, every spring and summer is a time when we expect sales to be at their highest. However, in light of all of the distractions in the world, the fact that Charleston Real Estate Sales are setting records just about every week, is nothing short of amazing to me!

Charleston Mid-Year Market Report

Having a front row seat to the bursting of the housing bubble back in 2005-2009, I for one, did not expect sales to be at this pace. After the crash of the housing bubble, real estate sales virtually stopped for a few months. Then gradually began to come back but in a much different fashion. Now, during the current pandemic things are very different here in Charleston!

SEARCH ALL HOMES FOR SALE
Charleston Mid Year Market Report

Fortunately…having realized a long time ago that “flexibility is one’s greatest asset” in real estate, I’ve learned, “don’t question, adapt”! So now we are looking back at a couple of months worth of market data wondering, “where do we go next”! So let’s take a look at the Charleston Mid-Year Market Report for July 2020.

Hindsight Is 2020

Frankly, I have to admit, I’m baffled by this extreme activity and just simply rolling with it! Funny how the experts always come out and sound so smart when they tell you about what’s happened. And, have you ever wondered why so few make predictions, and even fewer will remind you when they were wrong!

Today’s New Challenges

For the Byrd Property Group we’ve simply been working hard everyday, selling our listings and helping our buyer clients find great homes. But, along the way, it hasn’t been without some new challenges.

Couple crunching numbers after looking at the Charleston Mid Year Market Report
  • Lending rules for self employee people have gotten tougher and more stringent.
  • Fewer listings have come on the market and buyers have fewer choices.
  • In some situations buyers have to compete for homes in multiple offer situations.
  • On the bright side! Interest Rates are at or near all time lows.
  • Banks have actually been tightening lending restrictions instead of loosening them.
  • Banks are in a much better shape than as they were before the housing crisis.

The good news in all of this is that the market didn’t just stop and fall off the cliff like it did after the housing collapse. And, I can honestly tell you I was prepared for the worst when Covid-19 first came on the scene. With that in mind, realistically we have to understand that we are a long way from out of the woods! So depending on all of the volatile elements effecting our planet right now, just know that anything can happen from here!

Charleston Mid-Year Market Report – The Numbers

So to begin with, June 2020 sales just eclipsed June 2017 sales by 11 sales. Not a large beat, but a beat none the less. Previously June 2017 were the best June sales numbers on record. Here is a chart showing the number of sales each year for ten years.


Charleston Mid-Year Market Report – Home Buying On A Tear!


Buying activity in the Charleston area has been impressive!  Before May 2020, the highest weekly number of sales was 458 in 2018.  And in the previous 3-4 years, 400 to 425 sales per week being relatively normal. So, what’s really impressive is that we have exceeded the old high of 458 sales in 2018 in each of the last 10 weeks.  Additionally, we’ve surpassed 500 sales per week in the last 5 out of 6 weeks. In the last week of June we had 539 homes go under contract!

Unique to The Pandemic

Being a sign of the times in the Charleston Metro Area, many homes are going under contract site unseen. And due to the low inventory of homes on the market, some home sellers are experiencing multiple offers on their homes.

Foreclosures

As of this writing foreclosures and short sale have surprisingly been also non-existent. As we move forward this may not continue to be the case but we intend to keep and eye on this important market factor.

Low Inventory

In the Charleston Metro MLS since 2015, the inventory of homes on the market has ranged from around 5,500 to 7,000 homes on the market.  However, late in 2019, our homes for sale inventory dropped below 5,500 homes on the market. Now our inventory numbers are getting closer to 4,000. Due to the recent local anti-growth policies of some of our local municipalities, the development and construction of new communities and new home construction is not keeping up with the current demand. So if you ever had any inclination of putting your home on the market, now would be the time! Less competition and shorter market times!

The Luxury Market on Fire!

Charleston Mid Year Market Report

Yes, that’s right! The Luxury Market in Charleston has been on fire in recent weeks. In the Tri-County area each week we normally have about 12 to 15 sales of homes priced at over a million dollars. Over the past 6 weeks we have had 207 homes go under contract that were priced over 1 Million Dollars! That’s almost 35 sales per week! Many people are speculating that these buyers are coming from the Covid-19 hot spots, as more people leave the densely populated cities in the north. All speculation however, as of yet there is no concrete evidence that confirms this.

Click Here To See….Charleston Luxury Homes Currently On The Market!

Surprisingly, what I’ve discovered is that in May of 2019 the Charleston Real Estate Market had approximately 855 homes on the market at over 1 million dollars. And now, that inventory has shrunk to 623 homes on the market!

And what’s even more compelling is that the Months Supply of Homes number for Luxury Homes In Charleston over 1 million dollars has come down to an 8.5 months supply on inventory! That’s the lowest it’s been in 15 years! So if there was ever a time to sell a Luxury Home in Charleston…the time is now! Less competition and shorter market times!

Charleston Mid-Year Market Report – Summary

These are simply unprecedented times. With so much volatility in the world and influences outside of real estate, the only advice I have is to pay attention! Having lived and worked through several different real estate market cycles and events from Desert Storm, 9-11-2001, the Housing Bubble and now the Covid-19 Pandemic we survived and thrived! And we came out on the other side much stronger and wiser. This time will be no different.

So keep your head on a swivel, your mind sharpe, stay safe and smart during these crazy times! And as always, if you or anyone you know needs expert real estate advice or assistance, please do not hesitate to call us! We are here for all our friends, relatives, present clients and new clients.

Charleston Real Estate Defies The Experts!

05/08/2020 by billbyrd

May 8, 2020 (for updated report click…Charleston Mid Year Market Report)

Confused Expert. Charleston Real Estate Defies The Experts!

Yes, that’s correct, the Charleston Real Estate Market Defies The Experts! This week and last week real estate sales in the Charleston area posted spectacular weeks of sales! This completely defies the experts that were predicting doom and gloom for our market. Ranking as a couple of the best weeks in Charleston Real Estate History, for some this goes against all conventional wisdom! Imagine that, all while the world was sheltering in place, we are posting all time numbers. In fact many sales are seeing quick sales and multiple offers from competing buyers.

With that said I applaud our local leaders for having the foresight to declare real estate activity as an essential service. Clearly they know that real estate activity historically has been a leading indicator for economic activity. Just think of all of the businesses and folks those business employee that are involved in a real estate sale? From Sign Companies and Home Inspectors to Attorney’s, Termite Company’s, Hardware Stores, Insurance Agents and many more benefit from the ripple effect of a sale of real estate.

Key Numbers From Last Week.

As Charleston Real Estate Defies The Experts, here are the key numbers. Last week according to the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service:

  • 442 Residential Properties Went Under Contract
  • 342 A Total Of Single Family Homes
  • 21 Sales On James Island
  • 13 Sales On Johns Island
  • 34 Sales In West Ashley
  • 21 Homes Sold In North Charleston
  • 38 Sales in Mt Pleasant
  • 79 Properties Sold In The Summerville/Ladson Area
  • 93 Sold In The Hanahan, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner Areas
  • 6 Homes Sold On Seabrook Island
  • 9 Homes Sold On Daniel Island
  • 5 Homes Sold On The Isle of Palms
  • And A Total 91 Townhomes And Condos Sold In All Charleston Area Markets

SEARCH ALL HOMES FOR SALE

Will Charleston Real Estate Continue To Defy The Experts!

Only time will tell. We still have a long way to go however we are off to a great start! So hopefully all of the stimulus being pumped into the economy and low interest rates will make a difference. It all hinges on whether or not the folks on the edge will be able to make it through.

What We Will Be Looking For?

  • Buyer Demand, will it remain high?
  • The Default Rate, will it stay low? Or will people short sale their homes of lose them to foreclosure?
  • Home Inventory, will the inventory of homes for sale rise or fall?
  • Transplants From The North, will more people from the larger more effected cities by the pandemic head to South Carolina?

SEARCH ALL HOMES FOR SALE

As Charleston Real Estate Continues To Defy The Experts, What Do We Need Now?

This may surprise many people, we need more home sellers putting their homes on the market? The numbers don’t lie. Demand is high and supply is low it’s simple economics! We also have strategies in place to help keep our clients safe in the current environment. So if you or any one you know is thinking about selling a home let’s talk. Let us show you how we can help you safely sell your home in this market and get top results!

Rice Hollow In West Ashley

04/20/2020 by billbyrd

Welcome to Rice Hollow, one of the best kept secrets in West Ashley. A wonderful tucked away oasis right in the middle of all of the action. Being located inside 526, this neighborhood makes everything Charleston has to offer more convenient. Everyone living in Charleston knows that being inside the 526 is a big benefit! 10 minutes to downtown, 5 minutes to the Plantations, 20 minutes to the beach, what more could you want!

Rice Hollow Sign

Nestled between Ashley Hall Plantation, West Ashley Plantation and Bulls Creek, Rice Hollow is a quiet and quaint community. Consisting of 84 homes, mostly built mid to late 1980’s, you’ll find a wide variety of looks and styles.

Many of the homes in Rice Hollow have been updated over the years. Keeping up with modern trends as home values have increased, homes in Rice Hollow have held their value well.

One of the most appealing things about the neighborhood is that very few homes look alike. You’ll find some traditional colonial style homes, homes with large porches, ranch homes and many others. Rice Hollow has the feel of a custom home neighborhood without the price tag.

Additionally, you’ll find Rice Hollow to be a very active neighborhood! On any given day you see folks out taking walks, riding bikes or simply working in the yard. It’s a prideful community where people care about were they live. The evidence of this is apparent from the first day you take a drive through the neighborhood. An idyllic place to call home!

Charleston, Yesterday and Today

03/30/2020 by billbyrd

From the beginning to today!

In 1670, Charleston was first settled by English colonists. The settlers first landing was actually up the Ashley River at Charles Town Landing. Charles Town Landing was located in what is now West Ashley off of Old Town Rd. Not long after Charleston Landing was settled, those early settlers determined that the peninsula area was a more stratigic location. Eventually, settlement activity began to flurish where modern Historic Downtown is today. 

Historic Charleston

The attraction to the area for early settlers was the surrounding geography. Protected by barrier islands, the Charleston harbor is a natural port, perfect for shipping commerce. Originally known for cotton, rice & indigo the harbor was a very active port from the beinging. The strategic location of the harbor attributed to its significant importance of early trading in the new world. In the mid 1700’s into the 1800’s Charleston had a large number of banks and other businesses that focused on finance and world trade. Which at one point, Broad Street was considered the “Wall Street” of the South.

Conflicts and Challenges

Charleston’s Liberty Tree was were the Son’s of Liberty met prior to the Revolution

Over the years Charleston has been no stranger to conflicts and challenges. Charleston residents have indured several devastating fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and the Revolutionary and Civil War. The cities resilience to these challenges is a big part of the unique culture and history of this town.

Undeveloped Charleston was filled with opportunity.

Charleston Today

In recent years Charleston has experienced dramatic growth. In all directions development has been spreading it’s footprint to accommodate new businesses and residents. Most folks attribute the mild winters, history, culture, great restaurants, recreational opportunities, beaches and the friendly atmosphere. Truly this is an extraordinary place.

Newer subdivisions on Charleston County's James Island.
