The struggle continues! The media seem determined to promote the negative side of the economy, especially the housing market. While what they report is certainly true in many areas of the country, they fail to point out that it does not apply to all areas of the country. I'm sure you've heard that having a national real estate report is about as accurate as having a national weather report, i.e. weather and real estate are very local issues. It would sure be nice if the media recognized this fact and would include some sort of clarification for the public.

What do you think?

When compared to other parts of the country, Columbia, SC is in a unique position regarding real estate. This area did not experience the unrealistic appreciation that drove prices in other areas to record highs. We have had reasonable appreciation and the result is that you will be hard pressed to find home prices that compare to prices in this area. By comparission, the prices here are very low. Imagine a 2126 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bath home for only $147,500! There are plenty of great deals available on new and resale homes.
