Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2021

9 www. ReadMPM. com | www.MountPl easantMagaz i ne. com | www. VOICE forMP. com L et’s face it: it was an amazing year for real estate in the Mount Pleasant and Charleston area. We kept that in mind as this annual Beautiful Homes edition began to take shape and quickly realized that we had a wonderful opportunity to share relevant, local information, such as the 2020 complete year-end real estate data to help inform your 2021 buying decisions. While every issue is special to us here, we feel this one really speaks to the moment. Starting on page 146, we’ve published the top ten residential properties sold in 2020 in the key East Cooper municipalities of Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island and Daniel Island. We have further showcased the top ten homes sold in multiple neighborhoods including the historic Old Village, whose original residents date back to the 18th century. Additionally, we have highlighted the neighborhoods of Carolina Park, I’On, Dunes West, Snee Farm, Brickyard Plantation and more. With inventory at an all-time low, new construction is a viable option. Learn more on page 46, where you can read about Managing Editor Lindsay Bishop’s conversation with Will Jenkinson, head of the Carolina One New Homes group. Continue on to page 47 for her interview with Chuck Lattif about Heirloom Landing, Mount Pleasant’s latest development. Plus, read our exclusive story about how Chuck built President Joe Biden’s house. To help keep you current with coastal Carolina real estate no matter where you live, Mount Pleasant Magazine continues the conversation with a new podcast: www.VOICEforRealEstate.com. Packed with valuable information, we hope this will save our listeners money, time and a lot of headaches. Listen and learn from the Realtors® who sold some of these amazing homes, the mortgage bankers who helped finance them and the builders who created them. Read more about this new podcast on page 145. There is so much to unpack in this issue, I could go on and on. But I know you might want to take advantage of these beautiful spring days to do a little house hunting of your own. We hope we have armed you with some valuable information to streamline the process. We are continually inspired by our readers and thank you for making what we do such a joy.
