South Carolina Foreclosures by County

South Carolina foreclosures for the month of July 2010 are pictured here by county.  Charleston leads the state with 514 this month.  Spartanburg county foreclosures come in at #10 with 110 during the month of July.  Greenville has the 4th highest amount of foreclosures with 365.  Clearly the economy is not improving and all credible financial pundits expect the economy to continue to weaken into 2015.

The take away from this?  If you are selling a home consider “forward pricing” ahead of the downward pricing curve.  If you are buying, buy a home priced at a level that leaves you extra discretionary income in the event you need it in the future.  Scroll down this page to search Spartanburg county foreclosures.

Boiling Springs Today Magazine Writes About Georgia Guidestones

It’s great to see one of our own Boiling Springs companies expose the the Georgia Guidestones for what they really are. A monument to the coming prophetic new world order.  You can also read a good explanation about the New World Order here or watch a Chuck Missler Youtube Video.

The truth is sometimes so outrages and so frightening that we dismiss it as foolishness and go on about our lives. Heck, even most pastors of churches won’t discuss these things because they are afraid no one will come back! Read more..

How Many Times Does the Average Spartanburg Home Get Shown Per Month?

When a residential home seller has their home listed for sale on the market expectations for a sale are usually high at first and then wane with time.  Each passing day seems to dim the hope of a quick sale and creates doubt and frustration.  Thoughts such as:  Maybe we should paint the living area?  The front really needs to be pressure washed.  Should we reshingle the roof?  Honey, I told you we should have remodeled the bathroom!  and on and on the thoughts go.  Many times these thoughts are valid but often they are just over kill.

Irrespective of our hopes and doubts, what is the proper expectation a seller in Spartanburg county SC should have as to the number of physical showings per month.  We all know that zero is too low but how many is too high?  Read more..

Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended to September 30, 2010

Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended for 2010

After a close brush with the deadline, Congress has passed an extension of the Home buyer Tax Credit closing deadline, the Home buyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623). The extension applies only to transactions that have ratified contracts in place as of April 30, 2010 that have not yet closed. The legislation is designed to create a seamless extension the new closing deadline for eligible transactions is now September 30, 2010.  There is will be no gap between June 30 and the date the President signs the bill into law.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to enact this important legislation. Extending the Tax Credit Closing deadline will help provide additional stability to real estate markets across the nation.

Mortgage Rates Drop To Lowest Levels on Record!

Spartanburg Mortgage Rates at Historic Lows

With the government sponsored tax credits expiring on April 30th just about all real estate experts expected sales to drop off the proverbial cliff in the following months to come.  Those months to come were the traditional home buying and selling season too where we annually see the highest amount of sales per month.

Surprisingly, sales in Spartanburg and Boiling Springs areas of South Carolina have been strong.  In fact I have had all the business I could handle while getting the tax credit rush transactions closed.  This month in June we have put 4 more homes under contract.  Not bad considering the rush of buyers in March and April.

So, why is the real estate market staying so hot?  Read more..
