We all love to learn statistics about the real estate market and see where things have been and where we hope things will go. After pulling all of the data for Areas 72 and 73 (mainly the Augusta Road area) above $100,000 in the MLS from January - August 2008 and then pulling the same data from January - August 2009, there are some interesting statistics to share. As we all know, numbers can be interpreted several different ways. The chart is taking into account everything that has sold.
| Jan. - Aug. 2008 | Jan. -Aug. 2009 | |
| # Homes Sold | 142 | 74 |
| Avg. Days on Market | 69 | 88 |
| Avg. Price Sold | $380,191 | $351,525 |
| Avg. Price per Foot | $150 | $147 |
After going through all of the data, it was interesting to notice that between the price point of $200,000 - $500,000, the average price in 2008 was $304,944 and the average price per square foot was $143. In 2009, the average price has been $345,949 and the average price per square foot has been $152. So despite several of the price points falling, the middle range for Augusta Road has stayed strong and even appreciated during this crazy market!
Augusta Road continues to be a great place to buy and sell real estate!
Thanks for taking time to learn more about the Augusta Road area!

In the past week, I have been asked to do a short training (just a couple of minutes) and for a different occasion, give a 10 minute speech. The training is for a non-profit leadership group and the speech is for a group of people with our Church. Both are suppose to involve examples of my life and what is meaningful...so I begin to think about what is current in my life and in pops Fred.
Side note: In one of my previous posts, I wrote about The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn (which I have now finished). This is a fabulous book about Fred the Postman who does his job in extraordinary ways!
Tonight I will do my training on tips that I have picked up from Fred and I have included those tips below!
"Whatever you are, be a good one." - Abraham Lincoln
Surprise others! Do something unexpected for someone else!
Grow yourself! Take time to think about what you do and why you do it.
Be interested! Take the time to know the other person and listen to his or her needs and desires. In order to accomplish our life goals, we need to help others achieve theirs!
Practice the one-a-day plan! Do one extraordinary thing a day. Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary happens one act at a time.
"No man can become rich without himself enriching others." - Andrew Carnegie
My speech is going to be more involved and must have some good examples so as I work on it, I will pass it along to get your thoughts!
Thanks for listening! Hope Fred enthuases you and you become a Fred today!
As you will notice below, the North Main area in Greenville, SC is on the overall still doing well. It has continued to show signs of appreciation despite the national economic issues! The homes are staying on the market longer due to fewer buyers, but the sellers are not losing money compared to other areas nationally!! CONGRATS to those who live in North Main and buy in the area! You have chosen a winning location!
