On a national level, home prices fell 11.6 percent last year. In the Columbia SC market, Zillow.com shows that prices fell less than .8 percent and home prices are up 3.2 percent from 5 years ago.
The reason for this is simple. The Columbia SC real estate market didn't see the inflated home prices that were commonplace in other markets during the boom. This is good news for home owners in Columbia SC.

I have always wanted to have a great real estate website where someone who had no knowledge of Columbia, SC could come and learn about the different areas and view homes for sale. In my mind, the user would be able to easily search all homes for sale in Columbia, SC.
I recently learned that the Columbia, SC MLS does not allow agents access to this data. Only brokers can share this information. I know that the markets in Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and Charleston as well as all many other cities around the United States do allow agents to use the data on websites. I also know how much I enjoy using the data when I search for homes online in other cities like Wilmington NC. It is invaluable.
I am a buyer's agent. It is one of my duties to show homes in the MLS. I do not pick and choose based on listing company or compensation. I show my clients homes that meet there desired criteria. So why can't I show them the homes on my website?
It seems to me that sharing information is in the best interest of the client. Selling houses can be a numbers game. The more exposure and the more people that see a home for sale, the more likely it will sell. After all, every seller is looking for a buyer. Shouldn't we allow buyers to see all homes for sell?

My Columbia SC Real Estate Expertise
Tonya was very helpful in finding our dream home. Time and time again she would send us listings of houses that matched our requests and even included other homes we may be interested in. Moving from out of state, we had little knowledge of Columbia, SC. Tonya worked hard to show us houses in different locations and explain a little about each area. Tonya made the pressure of finding a house into a fun experience. She was honest, respectful, and caring of our needs. Though we have no plans to move anytime soon, when we do our only choice will be Tonya D. Graves.
We are so grateful,
Eric N.
You did a Great! job ! I would recommend you to anyone. You made every aspect of selling and buying a home easy. We are still on Cloud 9 and we tell everyone how wonderful YOU made the experience!
Hats off to you!!!
Willis, Lisa & Ann Blum
Working with you was a great experience. You made time to show us homes after normal business hours, when it was most convienent to us. Our first home buying experience was great. You were there for us every step of the way, and if buying in this area again, you would be our first phone call.
Thank you,
Stevie Doucette
Thank you for providing fast, professional, and courteous service in my time of need. Before I began searching for homes I knew what I wanted but didn't have much luck finding it on my own. I was so confused. So many houses and so little time. So I decided to take a look at your website. I had no idea that you'd be contacting me momentarily. After all, I was just looking and didn't call or make any step towards contacting you first. Thanks for taking time out for me on weekends, after hours, and keeping me in the loop on every step you took each day. You brought an awesome deal to the table and I love my new home !!!! Keep making lives brighter. God Bless!
