Charleston Area is One of Five Real Estate Markets Expected to Fare Well in 2010

A recent article from Smart Money cites the Charleston, SC real estate market to be one of several expected to fare best in 2010.  The article suggests that the market here could even show a slight improvement over recent years.  Among reasons stated were the fact that housing prices never really got out of line with personal income levels and the arrival of Boeing in the Lowcountry could help foster jobs and growth.

It's my personal observation that we've seen an increase in activity from buyers.  The expanded and extended Home Buyer's Tax Credit which certainly made an impact on sales this past fall, may be an additional reason for the continued uptick in activity now.
