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.

Jalapeno Mesquite Boiled Peanuts
Another interesting Lowocountry Blog to consider:
Huggingthecoast.com, is a celebration of coastal life, food, fishing and travel. Updated daily, the blog's features include The Fish For Friday Seafood Recipe of the Week, The Free Cookbook of the Month, a foodie movies list, a coastal life and Southern food photo gallery, a streaming MP3 foodie playlists, YouTube cooking and travel videos, and more!
Grand Prize Winner of the Taste of the South Recipe Competition which was judged by Matt and Ted Lee, the James Beard Award winning authors of The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-be Southerners.
Unlike most traditional chili recipes which rely on the usual beef and beans, Charleston Chili was created using succulent pulled pork barbecue, country ham, boiled peanuts, and black-eyed peas.
After the competition, Ted Lee described the combination of the flavors in the Charleston Chili as, “…fantastic…clearly an original idea that followed through.”
The full recipe is available on www.huggingthecoast.com which celebrates the pleasures of coastal food and life.

Lowcountry Beauty - What our Founding Fathers Found
Unspoiled, natural beauty!
That's what our Forefathers and first settlers must have found when they made their new home in the Lowcountry of our beloved South Carolina. It must have looked just like this...green, and serene.
Is this a photo from Charlestowne Landing, perhaps? No, just an undeveloped property in West Ashley.
Do you have waterfront property? What's your property appraising for these days? Get an appraisal.

SC Rustic Charm and an Old Classic Car
Everywhere you go in SC, you find small pieces of history.
If our buildings and structures could speak, what a tale they would tell! Even the well worn car ads to the charm in this photo.
When we see images like this as we drive by, we often joke and say, "Now there's a fixer-upper," but in reality, this was once someone's home...or a business. Now all that stands is a memory of days gone by.
There is a momentum gaining in the SC Lowcountry to capture old structures and commit their memory to photograph before they are no more.
DreamVest We Value South Carolina!

Do you think that your insurance company will give you an equitable settlement and pay out adequately on your hurricane damage without a recent appraisal? Something to think about!
"Insurance Claims Appraisals are different from Residential Property Appraisals. Residential property appraisals establish the most probable price the property would bring on an open competitive market without undue stress or stimulus. Insurance Claim Appraisals establish what they believe your property is worth after the fact and what they would be willing to pay for the loss."
THE BEST APPROACH TO HURRICANE SEASON:
Protect your investment with a Residential and/or Commercial Property Appraisal now.
Get an interior and exterior appraisal inspection to document your property today. DreamVest tries whenever possible to make same day appraisals!
Know the reliable Market Value of your home or business today.
Take time to prepare for hurricane season so that "if" and when the worst case scenario comes to the Lowcountry again...you'll be ready. Everything can be replaced...but at what cost to you and yours?
In time of disaster, you need to know where your SC Property Appraisal is to support and document your loss.

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:
South Carolina Flag Law
The following information was excerpted from the South Carolina Code of Laws, Titles 1, 4, 10, and 59.

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.
