Donna and I have been residents of the Columbia, South Carolina area for more than twenty years. We both arrived at the end of one recession, have lived here through another in the early 1990′s and currently, we are dealing with our first as partners in real estate and relocation. Even with the severity of the current recession across the nation, the Columbia metro area has remained relatively stable when compared to most of the “bubble” locations through the United States. Our local market was slow, as it usually is, to feel the full effects of the downturn until the fourth quarter of 2007, which we now know as the officially tagged beginning of the current recession. Even as our existing and new home inventories rose higher than we had ever seen, the home prices did not see the huge swings as did some of the hardest hit cities elsewhere. To date, the largest declines in any Central, South Carolina area according to statistics at Zillow.com have been between 1.4 to 15.4 percent with some outlying areas just slightly higher. The State newspaper recently wrote that Columbia’s median home price is only down about 8.2 percent over a year ago. This summer’s home selling season has brought about a lot of activity in the most popular price ranges up to and including the low $200,000′s placing a large dent in current inventories for that range of homes.
If you are planning a move now or in the next year or so and you are just browsing for information, try visiting Zillow.com for complete information and statistics about our Columbia, SC real estate market. As always, should you have specific questions that you can’t find the answers to or you are ready to get started with your home search, please feel free to call me anytime at 803-261-1548 or get Donna at 803-261-7304.
