Learning About Bluffton SC:The Bluffton South Carolina Covenant

"During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the area comprising southern Beaufort County was known as Granville County of St. Luke's Parish. As the Yemassee Indians had established ten towns with over 1,200 inhabitants in that area, it was considered "Indian Lands." In 1715, the Yemassee War broke out and after several years of fighting, the Yemassee tribe migrated to Florida, opening the "Indian Lands" to European settlement. In 1718, the Lords Proprietors carved the area into several new baronies, including the Devil's Elbow Barony that contained the future town of Bluffton. "

Okatie, South Carolina is going to explode!

Okatie Village development was recently approved by Beaufort county. However, there are details which the county wants ironed out before this goes forward. Okatie Village will reflect the new urbanism where "towns" are created around schools, jobs and amenities that are close at hand. The "Village" will feature walking and bike trails and less dependence on travel by car is being touted as a benefit. There will be condos, as well as assisted living and a long term care units as part of the mix. New jobs will be created and overall this will be good for the Okatie community. There is in this area pressure on home prices, no question. However, investors see potential and they see opportunity. Ken Simonson, chief economist for The Associated General Contractors of America said: "Single-family building costs have been held down by falling prices for lumber and plywood, but these materials make up an insignificant part of the cost of other types of construction. "Simonson noted major materials price increases over the past 12 months including: Copper and brass mill shapes, such as pipe, wiring, faucets, and flashing, up 88 percent Wallboard and other gypsum products, 23 percent, Plastic construction products like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, fittings, and membranes, 20 percent, Steel mill products, 18 percent, Aluminum mill shapes, 15 percent, Concrete products, 11 percent (Source HGTVPRO.COM) Build now, or pay more for materials, later. The only question is, will the buyers come and will they be able to buy.
