Real Estate Market Tid Bits
According to the "2016 Annual Report on the Charleston Area Housing Market" by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors, the total number of showings in the market was up 3.1 percent over last year. April had the most growth in the number of showings, signaling an early demand for homes in the season.

On a different note, The Annual Report noted that mortgage rates a...

Folly & Hurricane Matthew
Many have asked how Folly faired through Hurricane Matthew. Mayor Tim Goodwin estimates that there were 400 people on the island during the storm. The number includes first responders and press who stayed at the Tides Hotel, which did not close. The Island operated under emergency status and had a mandatory evacuation. Following the storm, clean up ensued of debris. And, although our beach suffered much erosion and sand movement, our dunes performed the job of protecting our infrastructure. Work to rebuild them through renourishment, sand fencing, and beach planting is currently being pursued. Ass...

October 2016 Folly Beach Market and Beach Update
Sat, Oct 15th 2016 1:50 pm by Margaret Hartwig Folly Beach Welcome to the October Folly Beach Living Newsletter!
With Hurricane Matthew behind us and temperatures dropping, Folly is looking ahead to prepare for next year's season and improvement projects. While Folly did have some damage (see article 'Washout Wiped Out' below), we were very lucky with hurricane Matthew's timing. While we were hit at low tide, areas like Edisto Beach, Daufuskie Island, and the Beaufort area including Fripp Island were hit very hard. For those interested in up to date Edisto information, click HERE. Local sources have been very complimentary of Folly Beach's handling of the situation before, during, and after the hurricane.
Upcoming events includ...

September 2016 Folly Beach Real Estate Market and Island Update
Thu, Sep 15th 2016 2:00 pm by Margaret Hartwig Folly BeachWelcome to the September Folly Beach Living Newsletter!
September brings with it the height of hurricane season and a slower pace.
Hurricane preparedness is a big topic this time of year. Find resources for preparedness on the City of Folly Beach's website. The public safety department has been busy preparing the island. This year was predicted to be a busy year. Hermine brought with it the closure of the Charleston County Schools and many businesses. Yet damages were kept at a minimum. Primarily heavy winds and water levels causing downed limbs and power outages were the effects. Julia, that passed yesterday, was a nonissue. A positive side effect is the plants love the r...

The Best of Travel and Leisures 2016 has moved Charleston from the #1 City in N. America to.... The #1 City in the World!
