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.

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.

Selling a Myrtle Beach Home- Unexpected Showings

So you have your home for sale in Myrtle Beach and your listing agent has just stuck the sign in the front yard. You have already painted all the walls & cleaned the house to perfection for the upcoming showings. But, what happens when someone shows up at the door wanting to see your home without an appointment. As crazy as this sounds, it is something that happens fairly often.

People are out driving the neighborhood and see a new sign in the yard. They quickly look up the property on their smartphone and the awesome photos your listing agent took make them have to see the property. They become so excited that this might be “the one” that they jump out of the car and rush to your door asking to view your home. When this happens, I would suggest you direct the person to contact your listing agent and not allow them access to the home. You never know if that person is legitimately interested in your home or if it someone who is going to rob you.

When you list your property, ask your agent for a stack of cards and keep them handy. Simply hand them a business card and let your agent handle the showing. Your safety isn’t worth a showing. They can schedule something for later that day or the next with your agent. Your agent has ways to verify that the person is serious about purchasing a home and knows the questions to ask to keep you and your home safe.

By having them schedule the showing through your listing agent, you can have a level of protection for you and your family.
