Fall 2014 Market Update
Summer in the lowcountry brings sweltering heat and high humidity, but it also brings great real estate market activity. This summer was no different with 29 properties selling in McClellanville and Awendaw in the months of June, July and August. Eight of those properties (5 lots and 3 homes) came from McClellanville’s small but desirable […]
Summer 2014 Market Update
As we reach the halfway mark for the year we are finally able to make some year-over-year comparisons and across the board we are seeing marked improve- ments. The market is moving from warm to hot quite quickly with a definite shift from a buyer’s market toward a seller’s market. The first half of 2014 […]
Spring 2014 Market Update
The first quarter of 2014 has proven that the local real estate market is emerging from its slump! Home sales are up and inventory is shrinking indicating that we should soon see a changing of the tide from a “buyer’s market” to a “seller’s market”.

November means Oysters in McClellanville
Looking for 2010 Village Museum Oyster Roast? I’ll go ahead and say it. I don’t like seafood.

I try not to open with this point, […]
McClellanville: 20 Years after Hurricane Hugo
It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Hurricane Hugo muddied McClellanville’s timeline.

Time was still measured in terms of “before Hugo” […]

This year my wife’s parents came down to enjoy the festivities though, so I’ve included a small portion of the picture that my mother-in-law took while enjoying the festival and the blessing of […]
More McClellanville Land is Protected by the Nature Conservancy
Once again The Nature Conservancy has preserved land surrounding McClellanville through purchase and conservation easement . Earlier this year an 812 acre tract of land just south of McClellanville was sold by the Nature Conservancy to Charleston County Parks. This land will be used as a public park with a few buildings but will remain […]
What’s the Deal with the Stormwater Utility Bill?
Only a few weeks after successfully reducing my Charleston County property tax bill. I received yet another bill in the mail. This time it was a Stormwater Utility Bill for $36, which just goes to prove that the government will always get what the government wants out of you, it just might take them a […]
