Snapshot of Inventory Under Contract

When folks ask me, "How's the market?", I give a conscious effort not to answer with a good ole', "GREAT!", or "Couldn't be better!"  If you know me, you know full well that being salesman(y) is something I try to avoid.

Could I spin a huge spool of good news and awesomeness within a few sentences? Absolutely, but it's just not me. After all, Amanda and I have a lot of active listings and a lot of work ahead of us to get them sold.

This all said, the blog gives me the opportunity to project a snapshot of what's going on. The pics above are some examples of our listings "Under Contract" that you may otherwise not know about. A couple of interesting dynamics about the homes above: 1) They reflect different price levels ($249,000, $289,000, $389,000, $699,000) and 2) All four represent very different neighborhoods within downtown Columbia.

Circle Drive (Forest Acres), Somerton (King's Grant), Blossom Street (Shandon), and Lincoln Street(Elmwood Park) are all at different stages of their respective due diligence periods. Appraisals and inspections have been ordered on a couple, while the other two haven't navigated very far through the process. Even so, they're Pending Contract, and that's a good thing.

In sum, inventory is moving and I thought you might like a quick read of what's going on in a few downtown Columbia, SC neighborhoods.

Thank you!  FJ
