Thoughts of the day!

Right now in real estate, we are in such a unique position globally, and on a domestic and state level, where people are still moving and relocating at a rapid pace, with the work from home climate becoming a pretty permanent lifestyle, and most importantly with the homeschool community growing and giving parents and other families of all kinds opportunities that may never have been open before.

We have all seen the stories over the last 2 years that South Carolina is the number one moved to state in the NATION..yes, more than Florida, and more than Texas….by a lot! That’s a pretty astounding find. Additionally, Barnwell and Bamberg have both made the list for the top most affordable places to live in South Carolina. If you truly think about it, this gives a profound opportunity and “upper hand” to those in both outer cities and growing towns to invest, live, build, or buy in growing communities with extreme opportunity to see a return on your investment if you ever needed to leave. This also gives a profound opportunity for first time homebuyers who are looking for perhaps the last affordable options in South Carolina to start their home ownership, and it is truly a wonderful place to call home!

Both are a short drive to Lexington, Charleston, and Aiken. They offer a quieter pace of lifestyle, small town vibes, local events, and food, while being a close proximity to all the bigger towns/cities.

For anyone looking to get out of a bigger city, leave the hustle of Charleston, Aiken, or Lexington, and willing to take on a little more of a drive, one simply cannot understand the beauty of Barnwell until you are here. Right now there are FOUR, 5 are lots available in Barnwell in an established road with value to sustain a custom build, or buy some land and hang on to it for later! $10,000/acre.

Frequently asked questions about this land so far:

🚜1. Do I need to build right away? NO! Absolutely not! If you’d like to hold on to your lot for a later date, there is no restriction on when you need to build.

🚜2. Do you need to use the builder you recommend? No ! Absolutely not! However, we have put together some home/land packages with a local builder for those who like a simplified process and ease of mind.

🚜3. Can I put a mobile home on the property? NO, you cannot. This is designed to protect the integrity of the current area, the value of existing homeowners, and the value of your future property value while creating aesthetics of the community that are conducive to future value 😊

Please reach out if you are interested in a parcel, and we’re happy to have you look at it, and get you a piece of South Carolina’s affordable real estate!

Another closing in the books today for Big A Homes!

This one was an ADVENTURE! Multiple out of state contingencies, out of state move, delays due to ice storms and tornadoes, tons of farm machine movement and transportation…..and an emergency appendectomy from a closing attorney…..but today we made it!

These amazing clients trusted me with their move, their next chapter, their farm, lending advice, and a last minute shift in closing attorneys, and honestly I feel like I found a kindred spirit along the way!

Shawn Daughtry - Ameris Bank NMLS 474221 at Ameris Bank really made this one happen, and I’m so thankful to have him in our corner!

Cheers to this beautiful rural horse farm, and for those of you looking to move, buy, sell, build, or specifically look in rural areas , I have plenty of referrals and references, please reach out and I am more than happy to help and get you to your next journey!

If you’re looking now, I have several 5 acre lots ready to build with floor plans ready to choose from!!

I will post the listings in the comments, and as promised I have an interest list I will reach out to everyone who gives me a contact number, I will call tomorrow to see how I can best help you on this venture and get you going on a build 😊

Few things to note! The land is being subdivided into FIVE ACRE LOTS……as noted in my prior post, price is $10,000/acre! Partnered with 5 custom plans from Tridium Builders, and this is really set up to be a nice project, protecting the integrity of the area, keeping home on land, great investment in growing area with the amount of new engineer jobs at SRS and Aiken and everywhere!
