Investing in South Carolina’s Real Estate Market

It is no secret South Carolina’s real estate market offers some great investment opportunities. As with the rest of the country, South Carolina’s housing market has been steadily improving. According to statistics from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, new home construction and permitting saw increases year-over-year as did median home prices. Recent statistics out of the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® echo those presented by the Fifth District Federal Reserve.

Keeping up with the market and staying up-to-date on current trends can lead to, not only smarter investment decisions, but ultimately, a more successful portfolio of investment properties. At BridgeWell Capital, we approve our hard money loans based on your ability to succeed, and the local market trends and indicators are some of the factors we encourage our borrowers to use to make smart investment decisions. Deciding what types of investment projects — flips, rentals, new construction, commercial — can depend on many factors, such as the median sales price, rent price or appreciation rates. For example, it may make sense to acquire a residential property in an area where appreciation prospects are high, and rent prices are on the rise (secret #4 of real estate wealth building). Making informed investment decisions is the best way to minimize risk and maximize profits.

Here at BridgeWell Capital, to approve our hard money loans, we consider market statistics, and property appraisals, among other things, to assess the likelihood of success of your investment. For current trends in South Carolina’s real estate investment market, visit Zillow or Trulia.com.
