THE
TRUTH ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA'S STABLE HOUSING MARKET
Nick Kremydas, CEO
S.C. Realtors
Despite what you may be hearing about a slumping national
housing market, South Carolina's housing market is strong
and stable. Our biggest problem is not foreclosures
or sub prime loans. Our problem is a lack of affordable
and attractive housing choices for the middle class.
We need to get focused on the factors that are really
affecting our market and take steps to address them.
All
real estate markets are unique and influenced by local
demand, local land-use and building rules, and a host
of other factors one cannot see from the generalized
scope of national news coverage.
