Not every real estate market is the same. All real estate markets are unique and influenced by local demand, local land-use and building rules, and a host of other factors one cannot see from the generalized scope of national news coverage.
Please contact us for more details for buying or selling real estate.
It is a great time to purchase a home with the interest still. It is not too late to collect $8.000 after closing from your taxes if you can close by 6/30/10. You have to have a contract in place no later than 4/30/2010 to qualify. The same applied for MOVE-UP Buyers. They may qualify up to $6,500 for the same time frame. We have lender contacts that work also with a credit scores 620 and up or slightly below.
The State Paper reported 9/30/09 that US News puts Columbia in the 10 most affordable places to retire to.
Please contact us for assistance whether you are buying, selling or need our services for both.
We look forward to hear from you and to assist you now or in the future.

Location Characteristics: ELGIN is in the NE area of Columbia near Lugoff and Camden. It is on the northeast side of Columbia in Kershaw County and it is growing. Easy to get to from I-20 and US 1.
It is a rural community and very popular because of the lower taxes here and the still rural feeling. Little traffic and you are in the country with around 10 min. to either the Village at Sandhills or Lugoff for all your shopping needs. Many lots are larger here. It feels less crowded. Do consider that may change over time as the area grows rapidly and there may be a need for new schools soon. There has been talk to rase sales tax in this area by 1% to accomodate the growth and need for muicupalities.
Some new neighborhoods have large lots, horse estate size lots, People that like to have a little space and don't want to feel too crowded can find a pretty nice home around the $170's range (more and less depends how large you want and need it) as well. Most homes have larger yards (1/2 acre more or less). Several new home communities to choose from and more coming. Some are starter homes while others are very large custom built homes like in Parish Hill and Woodcreek Farms. You will also find some antebellum structures in the CAMDEN - LUGOFF - ELGIN area.
Enjoy to explore history? There is plenty around this area. You will enjoy the home town atmosphere here. Elgin now features a new "Olde South" restaurant near the Food Lion.
Elgin-Lugoff is known for the Invista plant, formerly DuPont Plant. Elgin's population is only approximately 1,000 people and counting the surrounding areas maybe around 25,000. Fishing and watersports at Lake Wateree are waiting for you here as well.
