Southern Real Estate

Here in the North East, we had a rough winter. Record-breaking snowfalls & low temperatures. We averaged 3 snowfalls per week. Words like polar vortex and snow fatigue have gotten many people thinking about going South.

I have an idyllic picture in my mind of what it would be like to live in the South. I imagine a shingled farm-house in Wedgewood blue, with a rocking chair front porch and a creaky screen door… and a hound dog named Huckleberry. Often, I will check out real estate websites to see what homes are available in the southern states. I thought I’d share some homes I found for sale.

How about some new construction in Summerville, SC? Details abound in this southern charmer. Pricing starts at 210,000.

It comes in at about 5000 sq ft and has 12 ft ceilings, pocket doors, 7 fireplaces, 2 staircases…the list goes on. Did I mention it’s under $100,000?

This house in Mobile, Alabama is spacious both inside and out. All this yard is missing is a tire swing in that tree. This home has sold already for the price of 244,000.
