I don’t disagree with you. That is until real estate prices equalize out. For example, my brother in law and sister in law moved from NH to Pauly’s Island, SC seven years ago. They originally bought a house for $240K. They remolded that house and lived there for four years. They built a new house a couple years ago. It was $650K. Their original house is now over $400K. So, the price discount from NH is not nearly as much as it once was.
SC is still cheap in comparison to NJ, CT and other more expensive states. The same story goes for FL. Ten years ago you could buy a house on a canal on the west cost of FL for $400-500K. Now those houses are $800K-$1 million. Florida is not cheap anymore.
What covid did with peoples ability to work out of the house anywhere in the US where they had an internet connection was equalize real estate prices. So, there is not nearly as huge of price differences as there once was between locations.
Charleston and surrounding areas are not cheap. It’s some of the most desired and expensive real estate in the country. That will spread out through the coast as Charleston is now unaffiliated to most, and they will likely move farther away from the city. Sad, actually. Lost its Southern Charm as it is now filled with Notherners and foreigners.
#32 They remolded that house
They wanted the mold back eh?... : )
