The local real estate market is looking up according to the South Carolina Assocaition of Realtors activity reports.  We have seen great activity in the 1st time home buyer market and other markets have shown improvement as well in Upstate South Carolina.

"October was a good month for the housing market in South Carolina. With a 17 percent increase in total sales from October of last year, this is the largest monthly increase in activity we have reported this year. South Carolina REALTORS® agree that the first time home buyer tax credit has had a significant impact on recent sales." ---Jay Rinehart, 2010 president, South Carolina REALTORS®
