Carolina One Real Estate is Leading the Commercial Market

Ever been to the beautiful city of Charleston for vacation? With the housing industry on the mend, make your stay permanent! Charleston is one of the top South Carolina cities for growth in the housing and commercial markets. It is now even easier to own your perfect waterfront home with an abundance of employment opportunities, home sites and new commercial real estate.

According to a recent report by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service, Carolina One Real Estate’s Commercial Division is leading the commercial market. The company closed 41 units since 2088, more than double the number of its closest competitor. With a 25.1 percent share, the Carolina One Commercial is the leader in the market in that category of RMLS (residential firms that also sell commercial property).

Oliver Mathewes, Broker in Charge of the commercial division, said “Carolina One has led the residential market in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties since 1992. Over the years we have gradually added commercial services. Since May 1, 2008 when we moved from the Prudential network to becoming an independent company, we now have the flexibility to strengthen our commercial efforts and also operate as Carolina One Commercial Real Estate.”

Nine Carolina Cities Make Improving Markets List for April

Leave a reply

Nine cities in North and South Carolina made the list of housing markets showing measurable improvement in April. Compiled by the National Association of Home Builders and First American Improving Markets Index (IMI), April’s list included 101 metropolitan areas across the nation.

Seven North Carolina cities: Burlington, Charlotte, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Greenville, Rocky Mount and Winston-Salem made the list. Charleston and Spartanburg made the list for South Carolina.

The IMI identifies metro areas that show increases over a six month period for each of the respective lows related to employment, housing permits and house prices. The data is collected from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Census Bureau and Freddie Mac. The list of 101 cities is up from the 99 listed in March, with 11 slipping from the list and 13 new ones being added.

“While housing markets across the country continue to struggle under the weight of overly tight lending conditions and other challenges, the April IMI indicates that at least 101 individual metros are showing measurable and consistent signs that they are headed in the right direction,” said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg. “A total of 35 states are now represented on the list, with 10 states having four or more entries. This positive news is in line with what our builder members have observed regarding firming conditions and improved buyer interest in certain locations.”

The National Association of Home Builders is a trade organization of 140,000 plus members involved in multifamily construction, home building, subcontracting, remodeling, housing finance, property management, building product manufacturing, design and more. NAHB builder members are expected to be involved in 80 percent of new housing projects this year.
