☀️ CSRA Weekly Real Estate Market Update

Summer is starting and the local housing market is shifting with the season.

Interest rates are still holding in the mid 6% range. Buyers continue to have more homes to choose from, which means they can take a thoughtful look at their options. Sellers still have opportunity, but they also have competition. Pricing, condition, and presentation matter.

The total number of homes available in our area went down slightly this past week. At the same time, buyer activity also slowed a bit. That is not unusual as families wrap up school year activities and summer travel begins.

Affordable housing in the CSRA is still a challenge, especially for buyers looking for move-in-ready homes.

Here is where inventory stands under $300,000:

📍 Columbia County: 219 homes under $300,000 ⬆️ +13 from last week
📍 Richmond County: 502 homes under $300,000 ⬇️ -31 from last week

For buyers, this means it is important to be prepared before you find the right home. For sellers, this means your home needs to stand out from the competition.

There is also plenty happening around the Augusta area this week. You can check out cooking classes at Helms College, a textile exhibition at the Morris Museum of Art, the America 250 exhibit at the Augusta Museum of History, and farmers markets in Evans and Augusta.

Quote of the week:
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” – John Lubbock

Thinking about buying or selling this summer? I would be happy to help you understand what these numbers mean for your goals.

🇺🇸 **CSRA Weekly Market Update | Memorial Day Reflection**

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice gave us freedoms we should never take for granted.

“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude.” — Harry S. Truman

**FOREVER REMEMBERED**

In solemn silence, we gather nearby,
To honor heroes, we hold dear.

Their courage and sacrifice we recall,
On this Memorial Day, we stand tall.

They fought for freedom, gave their all,
Answered duty's unwavering call.

Their memory we cherish, hearts embrace,
With gratitude, love, and solemn grace.

For the fallen, our gratitude will never fade,
On this day, their sacrifice forever displayed.

In their honor, we solemnly pray,
Remembering them on this Memorial Day.

*******************************************************

As we move into the week, the local housing market continues to remind us that clear information matters.

For buyers, finding a move-in-ready home under $300,000 in the CSRA can still be a challenge. There are options, but clean, well-maintained homes in this price range can draw attention quickly.

For sellers, this is a good reminder that condition, pricing, and presentation matter. Buyers are watching closely, especially in the more affordable price ranges.

**Homes currently listed under $300,000:**

Columbia County: 206 homes ⬆️ up 2 from last week
Richmond County: 533 homes ⬇️ down 8 from last week

The bottom line: Buyers need a clear plan. Sellers need the right strategy. Whether you are thinking about buying, selling, or just watching the CSRA real estate market, I am happy to help you understand what these numbers mean for your next move.

Moving you forward.
