South Carolina Real Estate Market Statistics for February 2012

For the Month of February 2012, home sales in all South Carolina major markets were up.  Greater Greenville and Spartanburg areas were up 7.7% and 10.4% respectively compared to the same period last year (February 2011).  Pending sales are up 16.9% and inventory levels shrank 15.7%.  This trend should favor the seller a bit more as home prices rise (with increased demand) and inventory (supply) shrinks.  This is what we have been talking about in our earlier post on the Delco Realty Group Facebook FAN Page re: the "Days on Market" trending downward.

Avoid "Gimmicks"

Don't be taken by "gimmicky" real estate programs that "promise" to sell your home in a certain period of time - typically offering promises to sell your home in 60 or 90 days.  I've even seen one article entitled, "Sell Your Home in 5 days!"  When you read the fine print or listen to the terms and conditions of these offers, it usually requires you to make upgrades to your home and/or…

Nationally Recognized Realtor and Local Business Man of Greenville Passes Away

It is difficult to express my feelings knowing we have lost Dan.  However, it is comforting to know he loved the Lord and is now at home with his Mom and Dad, who loved him greatly.  There are many reasons I admired Dan.  Of course he was a great businessman and participated in many community activities; however, above all, Dan loved his family and I am certain, they all knew it.   Dan loved the Christmas season and I am grateful he enjoyed the time with his family and friends before God called him home.  My prayer is that Kat and the children will find comfort in the love surrounding them at this sad time.  With my deepest sympathy. -Dot DeLuca

Moving - the "not so fun" part of Buying or Selling a Home

My wife and I just sold and purchased a home.

I was surprised at how easy it was to do a change of address for my driver's license through the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV).  

If you are having to go through that process, here is the link to get you started: https://www.scdmvonline.com/DMVpublic/trans/AddrChange.aspx 

The good news is, the once painful process of going through a "change of address" is much easier now with most creditors being online - including the United States Postal Service (USPS)!  Go to http://www.usps.com, select Manage Your Mail, then Change Your Address...  It's that easy!  

When you go through the process of changing your address with the Postal Service, you are registered at MyMove.com.  This is a…

Preparing Your Lawn for Cold Weather

We just received the last lawn care treatment of the year from our TruGreen® lawn care specialists this past weekend.  Much of the focus was feeding the lawn (our lawn is Fescue) and preparing it for the upcoming winter months.  In the Upstate area of South Carolina, we are usually fighting warm and cold days through October and in to November.  The hard winter months, tend to dig in from December through February with March becoming a transitional periof from Winter to Spring. 

Winter can be a stressful time for your lawn and landscape.  Low temperatures, ice and snow cover and the incorrect cultural practices can impact their ability to quickly recover when spring arrives.  While we can’t control Mother Nature, there are things you can do to help your…
