Below is a description of real estate activity on Folly Beach in August 2010.
Demand held steady as 11 properties sold in August, same as the month before, bringing the total sold in 2010 to 74. This is a great sign, as historically demand was over 100 homes per year and we are on pace for 111.
The average sales price in August was $340,000 with a low of $145,000 and a high of $620,000. These historically low prices, coupled with low interest rates are driving these sales. Many people are taking advantage in order to fulfill their lifelong dream of living at Folly Beach. There are properties still available in the lower price ranges, but they are going quickly. As they continue to sell, more buyers will be forced to look at higher list prices, a good sign for sellers.
Some of the properties sold were:
A Turn of River 3 bedroom condominium foreclosure for $195,000.
A West side 3rd row home for $405,000.
A 2nd row home past the washout with marsh and ocean views for $540,000.
