How do I determine whether property values are increasing or decreasing?
The Lowcountry Loop | Your SC Community Newsletter
If you read national news publications like USA TODAY, they will normally report on the value of real estate as reported by the National Association of Realtors.
• The most common way that these papers report on values is the median sales price. They often report that the median sales price for the nation was up or down X% for a certain period.
• This information is applicable for many areas of the country, but it is not very specific to any one subdivision or market area.
What I am doing for South Carolina Lowcountry subdivisions is analyzing several different streams of data to give you a very good idea of what values in your subdivision are doing this year.
I will be looking at and evaluating:
• the average sales price
• the median sales price
• the average per square foot price
• and the average size of the homes that have sold in your neighborhood.
This will give you the best idea of what homes are doing in your subdivision. For example, the median price may show a 15% decline, but the average size of the homes that sold may have decreased. I will analyze all of these factors to give an accurate picture of homes in your subdivision.
I will also look at the number of listings on the market, the number of pending sales, and other factors that may affect your area.
I will be adding new articles and new subdivisions on a weekly basis. You can also post questions or comments on my message board as I will be adding information on a weekly basis.

Find Appraisers for Rural SC - Discover Ulmer, SC 29849
Ulmer, SC 29849
At the junction of US301 and US321 is the town of Ulmer. Not a lot to it besides this Post Office and the rundown little building next to it. However, that was not always the case and lil ole Ulmer has a fascinating South Carolina history!
The community now known as Ulmer goes back for many years. The surrounding lands belonged to only two persons - Ephriam Ulmer and John Williams. There are authentic records dating back to the 1700s. The ancestorial home of the John Williams family still stands. It was lived in until sometime in the 1950s. The first building was erected on the banks of the Salkehatchie River. The site was near a settlement know as Buford's Bridge - which was there prior to the Revolutionary War.
While a proper name was being decided for the town that was building around the depot, it was jokingly called "too nigh". Streets needed to be laid out for the new town, but this was going to take more of Mr. Ulmer's property. However, Mr. Ulmer agreed to reliquish extra property in exchange for the town being called "Ulmer" in his honor. This was agreed upon and the town of Ulmer got its charter on August 7, 1891.

DreamVest Appraisals - What our Logo Represents - History of the SC Flag
"Image is everything," as the expression goes. Why do we love images of Fire Trucks and Fire Engines in South Carolina?
It's because of what they stand for! Fire Engines are a symbol of safety and security for us. They represent everything we love about order, cleanliness, strength, power, rescue, and integrity.
Notice on the SC Image on the Port Royal Fire Truck?
It's very similar to our Official DreamVest Appraisals Logo!
Why is the State Flag on this Engine? Why do we use such a powerful and inviting image to represent our Company?
SC Symbols - a little bit of interesting SC State Flag History Info:

Carolina Lowcounty Sunset Parris Island, SC
History of the Parris Island, SC Depot
Marines were first stationed on Parris Island in 1891, in the form of a small security detachment headed by First Sergeant Richard Donovan. His unit was attached to the Naval Station, Port Royal, the forerunner of Parris Island.
Donovan's unit was highly commended for preserving life and property during hurricanes and tidal waves that swept over the island in 1891 and 1893.
Military buildings and homes constructed between 1891 and World War I form the nucleus of the Parris Island Historic District. At the district center are the commanding general's home, a 19th century wooden dry dock and a turn-of-the-century gazebo—all of which are on the National Register of Historic Places.
MCRD Parris Island: On November 1, 1915, Parris Island was officially designated a Marine Corps Recruit Depot and training was continued from then on. It's a Lowcountry Tradition of Honor.
