is there a “Carleston” in South Carolina? Or is it Charleston? Might sound like I’m being sarcastic but you never know about town names here in the South!
If you missed it – our area is where one of the two new Nuclear Power Plants will be built near Waynesboro, Georgia. I expect Augusta may end up on the hottest markets list within the year.

I wish they would have been a bit more specific. Saying 7% off list price is very one dimensional in this business. Is that original list price or perhaps they had price reductions?
Also, were seller’s concessions, if any, factored in?

Glad to see that Charleston has made this list…or am I? Well one thing’s for sure- real estate sure is picking up down here.

What about Sarasota, FL? Fortune Mag consistently ranks that area quite high.

How can Cleveland be both Zillow’s #7 best city and Forbes’ #1 most miserable city in the US? So you feel good about your real estate purchase for several seconds and then you get all miserable after? Awe, poor Cleveland.

Hey-
I’m a Cape Cod Realtor. That 5% difference has been pretty standard for years. I’m intrigued by the fact that this is a notable stat. Of particular interest to me is the fact that even during the recession and through the ups and downs of the past few years, 4%-6% has been the magic number.
It begs new questions: what are the national stats, is this a phenomenon unique to resort/retirement areas, etc.
Thoughts?
