Bes tOfMPpodcas t . com Heading into 2023 and considering what that might look like for Coastal Carolina, it’s important to consider a couple things happening in the current climate. Interest rates are high, inventory is low and the market is swelling. Yet people are still flocking south. What is different about our area compared to others in the nation? We face similar market hardships, but the area is still highly coveted. It comes down to that old real estate adage “location, location, location.” We live in a very desirable Southern coastal region that’s become a popular, worldwide destination. More than one national publication has deemed the area the best city in America. Coastal Dwellings Recently, on our podcast VOICE for Real Estate, we interviewed SouthState Bank’s Jules Deas III about the subject. The episode received an overwhelming response. When we shared it with our various social media communities, it reached residents in 50 states and received 314 comments. In case you missed it, turn back to “Social Buzz” on page 17 to find out what everyone thought about so many families flying south. To hear Deas’ expert opinion, check out VOICEForRealEstate.com. We hope you will find these comments on our podcast insightful and our Dwellings section helpful. We strive to empower our readers with knowledge when they flip through our digital or print pages about coastal real estate.
