#Often us real estate types tend to forget that the real estate vernacular (I’ve always wanted to use ‘vernacular’ in a blog post) we are so accustomed to might be unfamiliar to many who don’t deal with real estate on a daily basis.

#I know I am guilty.

#We throw around words and terms like REO, Option ARM, fixture, encumbrance, and short sale like everyone knows what those terms mean.

#However, not everyone does. This isn’t said to slight anyone’s intelligence – far from it. It is simply a function of if you don’t use these terms regularly, why would you know (or care) what they mean?

#Home buyers also tend to like the small town feel of the area. Since Summerville is located further inland, it's managed to preserve its identity well amidst the changing landscape surrounding the Charleston Peninsula. While some of the nearby suburbs like Goose Creek and North Charleston have morphed into commercial and industrial branches of the city, Summerville has focused more on residential preservation and growth.

#Wescott Plantation is consistently a favorite among Summerville home buyers because it offers some of the most affordable homes for sale. Condos and townhouses start around $100K, and single family houses start around $140K. Most of the homes in Wescott have been built in the past 10 years, so if you're looking for a newer construction home, this will be a good neighborhood to start your home search.

#All home owners have bought at least one, but many people do not know what a real estate appraisal is, beyond the basic thought that it is how financial institutions determine how much a piece of property is worth. However, a little knowledge can help the consumer understand the process and maximize their purchase.

#Essentially, a real estate appraisal is the process whereby an uninvolved third party develops an opinion of the value of a piece of property, based upon that property’s “highest and best use”. That means essentially when the property is being used in the best way it can be under the current circumstances. A number of factors go into developing this opinion, but that is sometimes a surprising key fact – it is just an opinion. It is an educated opinion, formulated with market based facts, but an opinion still. If you obtain multiple real estate appraisals on the same property at the same time, you will likely get a different value from each. While they should be ... Read more »
