Very informative video, I like that’s I all in one video about the area and future projects👍
All those illegals need housing too! Supply and demand. I'm paying $1700 a month for a one-bedroom in GA. Just found out a county over is a sanctuary county...
To paraphrase slick Willy, "that depends on what you think the meaning of meaningful is"
If the place as been empty for a x about of time the squatter should get two week notice
Almost got DR Horton Express home in Ladson during Covid good rates and neighborhood going to use VA loan it worked but craftsmanship was too shotty and got home at Crowfield
Weather and bugs are so similar to Florida
What about the schools, libraries, buses-trolleys? How do the schools rank per national average, are the libraries well funded. Is public transportation realistic?
How much for max sqft 4 beds wit a pool
Wow, that’s a lot of homes. We are getting 50 more where I live and so many just down the street.
Where’s that?
Bill, it’s great that the builders are taking input from you and your associates. You all know us best! Anybody looking for an agent … I recommend Bill! He put us in our current home. Thanks!
Thank you! It was a pleasant surprise hearing them ask for input.
Everyone wants to live the Southern Charm Reality TV lifestyle
Thanks, Bill. You sound excited about this prospect of varying cost ranges w/o looking cookie cutter elevations. Too many folks are being priced out.
Porches!!! And no risk of flooding.
Tall ceilings first floor too
Yes many are being priced out, however I have clients looking for new construction and the only thing DR HORTON is offering is well below their budget AND too plain. Limiting their options.
The DR Horton homes in Pine Forest Country Club are less that 10 years old and the majority already need new roofs. I’ve seen many neighborhoods discussing the quality of this builder.
Maybe less SF, higher quality. Maybe choices on roof material.
Horrible company

Thanks!
Double porches absolutely > Plain front house
Agree!
💯
I'm a life long resident of Charleston. Born and raised. Retiring in less than a year and so happy to say I will be leaving. I don't understand why people think it's so great. Herd mentality I guess.
Need a realtor? I know a guy ;)
They have ruined the back of these buildings.
How so?
@@TheBillOlson I lived in the attached house. The addition of the roof bar and other structural changes weakens the integrity and historical fiber of the houses. Just because the BAR cannot see the back does not mean the changes are good.
The lack of knowledge of about the SE is sad. Please don’t come.
7/14/24 Viewing right now; loving it!
there is an hoa in the boatyard area on shemcreek where we live, our house is for sale right now
Thank you, I stand corrected. I forgot about that. It’s only $2400/yr though. So it’s not a crazy amount like some places.
@@TheBillOlson yea
I would say a small price to pay to be right on Shem Creek…but the houses there are definitely NOT a small price to pay. They are gorgeous though!
Need more PARKING SPACES!! Im not happy that the cruise ship is leaving. It brings in a lot of money. Now i have to drive to Florida to go on a cruise sad! Sometimes change isn't good. Let talk about Bens project the Cooper next to waterfront park. There are going to be 5 restaurants and around 200 hotel rooms and shops. Where are they going to park!
We did a cruise out of Charleston…it wasn’t a great experience. We will drive down to Port Canaveral any day and cruise out of there. But I do agree a lot of money is being lost.

What about the crime? The rankings are not good even in the best places. Is it a dangerous zone/city?
Stopping the talks about the cruse ship terminal and THEN annoucing a billionair is buying it shows how corrupt the city is. Disgusting
But that billionaire will get more done with that property than SC Ports ever would. It’s a win for the city.
Re: The Magnolia Plan. don’t care for nor would I use such hotels, but overall, I like utilizing land not currently utilized. Plus, like Bill said, it might defray some of the city hotel traffic. Some cool developments happening, which means the area is growing economically. Much different than most of my area (Pittsburgh PA). Informative video, thanks Billy.
You’re welcome Timmy. ;)
We dont need more affordable housing. If you cant afford to live in downtown then drive in. It’s stupid.
Affordable housing doesn’t mean bad housing. Affordable Housing is defined in Section 54-120 of the City of Charleston Code as: “Single-family, two-family or multi-family dwelling units, used exclusively for residential uses, where occupants have, in the aggregate, household income of less than or equal to one hundred twenty (120) percent of median area income for owner occupied units, or eighty (80) percent of median area income for rental units.”
Restaurants that have been staples of the downtown community for years are dying because their staff have to "drive in" from Summerville and Ladson where housing is actually affordable.
@@patrickbillinghurst3210 its more cost effective to work up there and not deal with traffic and paying for parking every night too.
I was bought here after being recommended the video through google recommended news articles on my phone. I'm just curious If you pay for Google ads or if the algorithm just knew I care about Charleston stuff and recommended the video for me.
Hey! Welcome to my little corner of KZread. I’m glad you’re here. No I don’t pay for ads. I’ve been able to build out my channel and create content to where Google/KZread know exactly who to recommend it to.
Loved it!
Tearing down the Alley for another "Charleston hotel" is absolutely despicable, y'all should feel ashamed

Is the Long Savannah project too early in its infancy to be considered a massive project? Would love a video on this and where the project is headed.
Seems to be a lot of moving parts in that one. But will definitely be covered in future videos. Maybe sooner than later.
what if some one owns a house in SC and goes out of the country for just 6 months,& has No Trespassing signs up, along with cameras that they can see from there smart phone and maybe notifies the cops before going that they'll be away for 6 months is that a good idea?
From my understanding of the law, if you catch them prior to the 10 year mark, they can’t claim squatters rights.
id love to meet you for lunch if you have a time for meetings? i bought a home in north charleston and have been watching this unfold and finally people are picking up on it
Yeah! Shoot me an email and let’s meet up! [email protected]

Hi Bill, Do you handle rental houses in the historic district of Summerville? Thanks!
Sometimes. Shoot me an email: [email protected]
Sorry to ask, but im considering renting out my mothers condo as a air bnb. I wont actually own the condo for 8 months. Could i run into any complications if someone tries to squat on me? Edit: my mother has passed away.
What kind of complications are you thinking? Squatting, while legal, is not easy.
@TheBillOlson I do not live in the same state. I would monitor it with outside cameras. How would I kick out people who refuse to leave? But would the police say to me " you don't own the condo, you have to rights to kick them out"
@@digdude9721 that I’m not sure. Would probably have to contact the local jurisdiction and ask. Sorry to hear about your loss
7/1/24 Viewing AGAIN; LOVED IT!

Beach front, please for the price quoted!
Gonna need to add a zero and then some for beach front!
Very, very helpful! Thank you, Bill.
Very welcome!
Property taxes are insane, so watch out.
They’re actually really low for a primary residence. Top 10 lowest state for property taxes.
No way!
I agree!
That’s a no for me dawg.
🚫🐶
You know I always appreciate you pointing out the secondary home tax bill vs primary. Multi-million dollar single family homes pay maybe 3k primary. We as secondary IOP beach condo owners (living in PA), almost 9k. So there you go, proves your 3x-4x citation.
I have a hard time bringing up taxes and NOT mentioning it. I appreciate you watching!
Highfalutin has the best coffee and always love the Bohemian Bull for lunch or dinner.
Why is John’s Island left out
It wasn’t on the niche.com list
HOAs here have become cesspits of personal rights violations. Most HOA rules are not enforceable anyway. If there is a specific law at the local state or federal level the HOA cannot contradict that law. IE if the city specifically states you can have up to 10 chickens in city limits the HOA cannot counter that because it is explicitly expressed. They cannot also get you for street parking if the road is public or anything outside your property line. Most property lines end well before the curb of the road.
Im looking at purchasing a very humble home in Beaufort- 700 sq ft old war homes with minor upgrades. Im a cash buyer and sellers here are delusional. They must not watch the market reports. It’s unreal.
What market reports should they be watching? How are they delusional?
Im from cheraw sc and my dad use to talk about johns Island alot when i was younger. Youre video was recommended. Probably for a reason 🙌🏼❤️
Thanks for sharing!
