The Farm at Carolina Forest- Neighborhood Tour

In early 2019, my family and I decided to move back to The Farm At Carolina Forest and call this our home permanently again. Now you may be wondering if I made a typo when I said again, but I actually lived in this development back in 2006-2008 in the townhomes section called The Orchards.

In fact, I wrote about how we loved going to The Farm Pool at night with my then newborn oldest daughter, Isabelle and swimming in the 800,000 gallon pool back in 2008. We have always enjoyed the amenities here and you definitely cannot beat the location. Ten minutes to the beach, ten to the airport, shopping, golf, restaurants, and all the area attractions are all nearby. With highway 31 only a few minutes away, this neighborhood makes the entire Grand Strand easily accessible.

Here’s a quick neighborhood tour showing off The Farm at Carolina Forest:

Homes in The Farm range in price from the mid 200-300K range and it is probably one of the largest neighborhoods in Carolina Forest. This development was started in the early 2000’s and was completed in 2018. There is a mixture of single family homes, condos with Garages, and also townhomes that have a garage as well.

Amenities in The Farm At Carolina Forest

If you are looking for a neighborhood with great amenities, The Farm At Carolina Forest is a great option. To Start, they have an 800,000 gallon main pool. The reason I say main pool is that there is a smaller second pool in this neighborhood also. In addition to two pools, The Farm also has a full sized basketball court, large clubhouse, fitness center and plenty of sidewalks & bicycle lanes to get outside through the neighborhood.

The Parks of Carolina Forest- [VIDEO Tour]

The Myrtle Beach market is still going strong and DR Horton recently released a new neighborhood in the Carolina Forest Section called The Parks Of Carolina Forest. This is an awesome new neighborhood that when completed will have over 800 residences in it.

I recently helped some buyers looking at homes in Carolina Forest discover The Parks of Carolina Forest and I was able to help them be one of the first buyers to purchase a home in this neighborhood. We were actually the second to closed in the neighborhood. So, the other day I went back to visit the models and sit down with an onsite agent there to discuss things in The Parks of Carolina Forest.

Here’s a quick video tour of the neighborhood:

The amenities in this neighborhood are going to be amazing and the fact that the Huger Park is nestled right in the middle of the neighborhood makes it even better.

The Parks of Carolina Forest is located just a few minutes from just about anything you could want including shopping, golf, restaurants, the intracoastal waterway, & the beach. You can jump on the easily accessible highway 31 and go north to little river or head south to Murrells Inlet in no time.

National Housing Report For February 2016

Here’s the national housing report for February 2016 from RE/MAX! Home sales are up 5.6% over 2015 and the median home price has increased 6.7% nationally. Average days on the market is down to 71 days now as well, meaning that homes that are listed for sale are not taking that long to sell when they are priced properly.

Also, the inventory of homes available for sale has dropped 14.7% from last year. Overall this means we are heading back into a strong position for sellers thinking of selling their property. Less inventory, higher prices, and short times on the market are all win/win situations for people thinking of listing their home.

If you are thinking of selling your Myrtle Beach home and would like to learn more about my marketing system to expose your home to 37,000 people within the first 24 hours listing your property, contact me at 843-222-9402 or by filling out this form.

Selling A Myrtle Beach Home- Handling Lowball Offers

When selling a home in Myrtle Beach, you can sometimes receive offers on your home that are well below the asking price. As the listing agent, it is required that we present any and all written offers that are made on a listing.

That means if a buyer makes an offer that is $50,000 under listing price, we have to present the offer to the sellers. This type of thing normally happens when a buyer is just testing the market and wants to see if they can “steal” a property for well under market value.

When this happens, my suggestion is to counter back to the offer with a ridiculous counter as the original lowball. So if your home is listed at $200,000 and the offer comes in at $150,000, I would suggest countering back at $250,000 explaining to the buyer that your overpriced counter is as ridiculous as their lowball offer. Hopefully after the quick charade, the buyers will make an offer closer to the list price and you will be able to come to a ratified contract price that both parties will be happy with.

For more information on selling your home and to learn more on how my marketing plan can expose your home to over 37,000 people in the first 24 hours of your home being listed, contact me today.
