To all the readers who do not know, Georgetown SC is a historic town that was started in 1729 and is the third oldest city in SC after Charleston and Beaufort. Most of the historic sites are located in the Historic district downtown. Many of the local businesses are centered on front street, nestled nicely on the waterfront. Recently the city (in conjunction with the DOT) has started a major drainage project that has cut off the main entrance to front street, causing a major disruption to the normal flow of traffic. Most of the tourist that travel to Georgetown do so while driving down highway 17 between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. The front street entrance is directly off of 17 and is marked by signage and a traffic light and now huge "detour" signs. I spoke to one business who stated the traffic into their store is down about 50%! The downtown area has so many business and so much to offer I wish the city would do a better job of directing traffic down Front street. With the fresh local seafood markets, tours, shops and restaurants I feel the average passers by really dont know what they are missing.

Until yesterday if you wanted to buy a lot in Cravens Grant you were practically out of luck. The developer is again offering lots for sale starting at $29,900. Due to a "right to repurchase" clause in the community declaration the developer has successfully re-purchased the majority of foreclosed lots in Cravens Grant. Yes, there are current foreclosure listings in Cravens Grant but closing on one is extremely unlikely due to the developer's "right to repurchase." In the past it has been difficult for buyer's agents to receive a commission but now the developer of Cravens Grant is offering a generous 5% commission on developer lots. The developer is offering financing on lots and incentives if you built immediately. Contact Beach and River Homes for more information about buying and building in Cravens Grant and Georgetown, SC.
