Labor Day Weekend

Chris

The last horrah of summer is only 2 days away! But does that mean its time to stop looking??? On the contrary, its the perfect time to buy! In fact i was on city-data.com today and its a great site to get stats on any city (or you can use zip code) in the country. Housing price and sales trends, population, and other demographics. I was looking at the myrtle beach area and Brunswich Coutny like calabash and surrounding areas in NC & SC. Buyers, you need to be bu [...]

Summer Winding Down, Sales Pick Up?

Chris

School is about to come back in session locally here in the myrtle beach area, and summer is coming to a close once again (though the weather will disagree for a while i would say). Historically, early fall is a good time to buy some real estate here on the coastal area. After all the summer properties get out of their busy rental season there is a little surge in inventory which means price negotiations work out to a buyers favor. Alot of people will say wait till winter when [...]

AUGUST HEAT

Chris

Here in Myrtle Beach the heat wave was grueling, but it has tempered out for a little bit and relief...as much as can be expected. School is getting ready to start back up and last minute vacations are being taken! What about real estate? Well at Eagle Realty its moving! Foreclosure inventory is some of the best deals in town. Great investor buys! Fall is a good time to get good pricing before the holidays and look for that 2nd home or vacation property. [...]

Fed Leaves Rate Unchanged

Chris

stable...let's look at the possible ramifications of not lowering key interest rates again. Battle inflation...good. Bring stability to our market where everyone is waitin for a "floor" in all aspects...good. Keep banks from hiking up the mortgage rate to keep from losing more money...good. All in all, this comes back to a confidence issue that all buyers need to see. Now is a time to buy and you beeter buy if you have been wanting to because the bus i [...]

Confidence Seems To Be An Issue

Chris

In the midst of the sensationlism that the papers and media try to sell to you the American public that all is lost and hope is gone, i would hope you make the drastic yet rational and logical decision to turn off the news and lay down the paper and take a look around. Now i am not nieve enough to think all of us are in the perfect situation in life, but if you are reading this you must have a computer with an internet connection and are probably sitting with a roof over your head. A [...]

Vacation and Retreats Needed

Chris

Hi, this is Chris Ward BIC/Owner of Eagle Realty...i have been out of town this last week. Now most assume vacation, but to be honest, it was far from a vacation. Now maybe the state of mind was in that mode, but as a part time youth minister, a mission trip with 13 teenage youth to Florida is kinda far from a relaxing vacation...now dont get me wrong, i LOVED THE TRIP!! But, lets be honest, a vacation it was not.
Of course that brings a point up about vacation...this summ [...]

$100 Million Dollar Home Sale!!!

Chris

Now how can the real estate market be down with the highest ever single-family residential sale in the country?? Donal Trumps home in West Palm Beach (or should i say estate) closes at $100 million dollars. I have seen the estate up close and personal and what a beauty. In comparison, why spend that kind of money when in Myrtle Beach, SC Eagle Realty can get you ocean front for under $1,500,000 (or much less for a condo)* The best deals on the Grand St [...]

Buyers Awake From Slumber

Chris

Its safe to say that the buyer hibernation is starting to come to a close as most of us slowly get back into the swing of looking and browsing for property...especially with the realization that real estate is the most sound personal investment you will make in this lifetime. Activity in relation to property showings in the myrtle and north myrtle beach areas have picked up steadily and with summer around the corner it will be no surprise to be busy with appointments to show listed propert [...]

"Eagle Eye" of the Week

Chris

check this out....i got a text message from the SC Realtor association last night from their twitter network saying the sc home sales were down comparing 1st quarter of 2007 to first quarter 2008. Though this percentage change for the quarter appears to be true, to break it down for march only you will actually see a slight increase in the myrtle beach local level. Also, as I type this update, i just revieved a text alert from the national level (which for all intensive purposes real [...]
