Union Pier Part Two
By Eleanor Smythe


South Carolina Ports Authority delays development plans for one year!


After much hue and cry from Charleston residents and many nonprofits, the opposition 
against the proposed Union Pier development plan was too much for the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA).


On June 16th, the SCPA in conjunction with the City of Charleston and the Mayor held a press conference to announce a halt to all development plans for the Union Pier property for one year.
Going forward, the SCPA will review and reconstruct the current plan to redevelop Union Pier and their cruise
 ship port of call in historic do...

A History of Broad Street

Mon, Jul 24th 2023 1:16 pm by Pattie Stratton Blog

History of Broad Street

By Eleanor Smythe


. This South of Broad article will feature Broad Street, a main artery that includes twelve blocks between Lockwood Boulevard and East Bay Street. The South of Broad neighborhood has a rich history, from the original walled city to the expansion of Murray Boulevard.

Despite natural disasters and economic downturns, Charleston has preserved Broad Street and
its rich colonial history, stunning 18th and 19th  century architecture, and pedestrian orientation. 


During the 1700s, the eastern portion of Broad Street was occupied solely by merchants and
craftsmen until the "Four Corners of Law" (Federal Courthouse and Post Office circa 1896, the Count...

A History of 3 Chisolm Street

Mon, Jul 10th 2023 12:00 pm by Pattie Stratton Blog


History of 3 Chisolm Street

The building at 3 Chisolm is one of Charleston’s great historical landmarks with a rich history. Opened in 1923 and located South of Broad in the heart of downtown Charleston, this Neoclassical building is across the street from a park fondly referred to as the “Horse Lot” and just steps away from Colonial Lake and The Battery. The building was listed on The National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Historic Charleston Foundation holds an easement on the property.  It is a fine example of an adaptive reuse project, as it was converted into condos in the early 2000's.

3 Chisolm Street was the original location of Andrew B. Murray Vocational School, one...

First Quarter Market Statistics for the Charleston Area

Fri, May 5th 2023 10:30 am by Pattie Stratton Blog


The lack of existing inventory continues to impact home sales in the Charleston area. Generally we have only 2.6 months supply of homes which is a sharp reduction from our historical average of 5-6 months available supply. This of course impacts competition for available properties especially if they are in good areas and are nicely finished. 

Nationally home prices are down .9% but here in Charleston County the median sales price is up over 7.2% Closed sales are down 29 % but this, in our opinion, is due entirely to the lack of inventory. 

We expect prices in our area to continue to rise with low inventory and strong demand continuing.
