401 Andrea Lane Hanahan SC: A Practical 3-Bedroom Condo with HOA Benefits, Pool Access, and Convenient Lowcountry Location
Not every good real estate option is flashy. Sometimes the stronger opportunity is the home that quietly makes sense: the right size, the right location, a practical monthly structure, and a price that gives buyers more usable space for the money.
That is where 401 Andrea Lane in Hanahan deserves a closer look.

What Buyers Chose: June 16–29, 2026
Buyers are still buying — but they are choosing carefully.
I looked at MLS homes that went under contract from June 16–29, and the data tells a useful story for homeowners. The market is moving, but price positioning matters. Nearly half of the homes that went under contract had reduced their price before finding a buyer.

Not every home search moves quickly.
And truthfully, not every home search should.

From the beginning, there was no rush.

Terry came along as my driver on those nights and weekends, which turned into something more than just logistics. It gave the...

Is Investment Property a Good Idea Right Now in North Charleston?
By the time someone begins asking whether rental property is a good investment, they are usually looking for a clear answer.
The reality is more measured than that.
The rental market across North Charleston and surrounding areas is still active. Homes are leasing. Tenants are moving. But the pace has shifted, and that shift matters when evaluating an investment.
Properties are taking longer to rent than they once did, and tenants are more selective. Pricing, condition, and location all play a more direct role in how quickly a home will lease and at what price.
At the same time, the cost of owning that property has become more defined.
Taxes for non-owner-occupied homes, insurance adjustments for rental use, and ongoing expenses such as mainten...
