Lexington SC Market Shows Significant Drop in Sales, But Value Remains Stable
In the most recent Sunday edition of The State newspaper (January 25, 2009, section F) there was a huge article about the state of the housing market in Columbia, SC. The greater Columbia, SC area is made up of 5 general areas: Irmo, NE Richland, Lexington, Downtown, and Southeast. The strongest area of town was the downtown area where sales dropped 17% from 2007 but sales prices actually rose 5%. In Lexington sales were down about 26% from 2007 and prices remained somewhat stable dropping only 1%. The general consensus of most areas in the area is that while sales have slowed, which is no big surprise, values have remained stable, which has always been a hallmark of the region. Interest rates are great and there are some great deals out there right now.
