Lexington SC Real Estate Foreclosures Bank Owned Homes

On the Columbia SC Real Estate Blog, each week I am going to cover the best foreclosures in specific areas such as Irmo, Lexington, Chapin, etc.  Today, I am going to start this off covering a couple houses within the Lexington SC Real Estate Market.

I have talked about Columbia SC Real Estate Foreclosures many times before, and how you can make money on them.  I love investment properties and they are my favorite to sell.

Within Lexington SC Real Estate, we have a number of homes on the market.  Of course, many of them are new, and builders are slashing prices.  New homes in Lexington SC are an abundant part of the market, and they can be picked up for a great savings.

In addition to the New homes in Lexington SC, we have some great foreclosures as well!

I am going to start off with 234 Palmer Drive within the Golden Hills Neighborhood.  Golden Hills in Lexington SC Real Estate is a prestegious Golf neighborhood located right off of 378 in the middle of Lexington.  Rarely will you find a deal in here, much less a foreclosure.

Featuring 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home was built for a king.  Having 3700 square feet, there is plenty of room!

This beautiful home is listed over $50,000 below market value and is in near move in condition.  If you are a Columbia SC Real Estate investor or buyer, this would be a great home.

In one of my favorite neighborhoods, Kellers Pond in Lexington SC Real Estate, which was built by Essex Homes, we have one of the first foreclosures available.  This brick/vinyl home is 2170 sq feet and contains 3 bed and 2 bathrooms.  It does have a 2 car garage.  Listed at $175,900, this beauty will not last long.

If I can be of any service in showing you these beautiful properties, please let me know!   My email address is nhjacksonrealty@gmail.com

Buy Foreclosures in Columbia South Carolina Real Estate

Posted on August 13, 2008 by hunterjackson

Buy Foreclosures in the Columbia SC Real Estate Market

Foreclosures have become a sign of the times within the Columbia SC Real Estate Market? There are several, well, more than several homes in foreclosure or that have been foreclosed on in the Columbia SC Real Estate Market.

Currently, there are tons of deals within both the Irmo SC Real Estate market as well as the Columbia SC Real Estate market.

Imagine purchasing a home off of Nursery Road for under $50/sq foot. It doesn’t need that much work!

Why is it the time to buy foreclosures in the Columbia SC Real Estate Market? Banks need money! Banks are not in the business of owning real estate. They are in the business of loaning money and making money on the interest. Banks want to liquidate their Columbia SC Real Estate Foreclosures and put the money back on the market to lend out to buyers and make their interest.

Across the country, such as in Fort Lauderdale Real Estate, banks are liquidating foreclosures and other bank owned property below value…way below value.

If you are an investor or even an owner occupant and wish to purchase a foreclosure or any home in the Columbia SC Real Estate Market, please contact me.

What Makes a Great Columbia South Carolina Real Estate Neighborhood

Posted on August 5, 2008 by hunterjackson

Columbia SC Real Estate Neighborhoods - What makes a great neighborhood?

Columbia SC Real Estate neighborhoods are the bread and butter of any Columbia South Carolina Real Estate agent.  Within the different communities, such as Irmo Real Estate, Lexington Real Estate, Chapin Real Estate and of course Lake Murray Real Estate, there are several great neighborhoods.

I have written in the past on Quail Valley in Columbia, as well as Forty Love in Chapin and Ascot Irmo SC Real Estate.   These are 2 prime examples of neighborhoods which have a staying power in this market.  These homes sell well in any market, as well as they have a desire.

These 2 neighborhoods are polar opposites of each other.  These neighborhoods highlight differences for key different buyers and sellers.

Of course, Forty Love is a higher end neighborhood located in the Chapin part of Lake Murray.  This neighborhood has homes that can reach over $1 million.  However, Quail Valley is a strong, central middle class neighborhood which has been around for decades.  The prices of Quail Valley rarely reach above $230,000.

What makes a great Columbia SC Real Estate neighborhood you ask?  There are obviously a good couple of items I could point out.

First and foremost, in my opinion, is staying power.  Do people move every 2 years out of the neighborhood?  Are there a lot of foreclosures or bank owned homes in the neighborhood?  Does the Columbia South Carolina Real Estate neighborhood fee like a tight knit community.

If you answered yes to all these, more than likely your neighborhood will always be at the top in sales with lower days on market.  If you have a desirable neighborhood, ie: one that does not have a huge amount of inventory on the market, buyers are less likely to be able to get the price down on your home.

If you have a tight knit neighborhood, such as Quail Valley, where people stay upwards 30 years and everyone knows everyone, your neighborhood will seem safe, secluded, and most importantly desirable.

A realtor who I look at who knows about true neighborhoods, how they are valuable in the hyper local sense of Real Estate is Greg Swann of Phoenix, AZ Real Estate.  He works key areas within Phoenix and makes it his business to know each person, home, and the history of each home.

If you have any questions on your neighborhood, please do let me know.  I would be happy to help in anyway I can.

Staging Columbia South Carolina Real Estate

Posted on August 5, 2008 by hunterjackson

Staging Your Columbia SC Real Estate !

Staging is an art, it truly is. Making your house work for everyone, not just you. When selling your property, you are not trying to impress you, the seller. You want to impress each and every Columbia SC Real Estate buyer who walks through your doors.

In the above slideshow, the sellers have done this. They have simply made their rooms look awesome!

Most of us can not afford houses like those in the slideshow above. We have normal houses. That is not to say that your Columbia SC Real Estate home can’t look like a million bucks!

Pay attention to the little things. The little things do matter.

Have a couch with a rip in it? Buy a slip cover. Take all the kitchen appliances, yes, even your George Foreman Grill, off the counter in the kitchen.

What colors are your walls? Bright red? I like it! However, it will not appeal to most buyers. Purchase some nice paint, something neutral yet with color, and go to town. Don’t forget to take the light socket covers off!

Speaking of light socket covers, are they old and yellowed? Spend the extra $1 and purchase some nice white covers and switch them out.

How does your living room look? Is it cramped? Can you fit the entire Gamecock football team on your couches? Remove them. Make the room simple, easy to use.

I hope that these little tips on selling your Columbia SC Real Estate do help.

For more staging tips, contact me, or visit this Home Staging Website.

  • Testimonials

    “I recently closed on a home in the Irmo area, and must have looked at over 30 homes before finding exactly what I was looking for.

    During my journey to find the right place to call home, I met a gentleman that was eager, enthusiastic, and seemed genuinely excited about making sure I found the right home for me!

    Hunter Jackson has been a tremendous help in helping me make the right decision, and I am very fortunate that our paths crossed.

    Throughout the process he continuously told me that he would be there before, during, and after the deal was done, and he has done nothing but follow-up on his word. His dedication to his profession along with his passion to help others reflects what type of person he is.

    I am in the banking business and deal with quite a few Realtors from all over, and few provide the accessibility, the follow-up, and most importantly the integrity that Hunter Jackson and his core values have to offer.

    Thanks Hunter for all you have done to make 2008 a very special year!”
