Charleston SC Real Estate Trends | Brad Rundbaken | Charleston Markets Report
The indicators used by The CMR are based on trend analysis and the irrefutable law of supply and demand. These indicators were showing a market that was beginning to show declines because the indicators measured thousands of transactions and variables. Many real estate and financial professionals were convinced The CMR was incorrect in its analysis but history has proved many of them wrong.
There is an old saying used by many successful investors in the stock market which states, “The trend is your friend.” These investors are successful because they do not strictly rely on fundamental analysis (PE Ratios, Book Value, Dividends, etc) to help them determine what to buy. They also rely on technical analysis, which involves utilizing the supply and demand of the market to help them make investment decisions.
Smart investors take the emotions out of their investments and allow the market to help them make rational decisions. The ability to know trends in the market gives you a tremendous advantage over the masses that are merely playing a high stakes investment game with no real data or strategy and instead rely strictly on emotion.
Just like the stock market, real estate markets have their own cycles which are influenced by local, regional, national and global economics and events. The first thing to understand about real estate is that people generally tend to “follow the crowd.” The second is that many people believe whatever the existing trend is, that trend will continue in the same manner in the future without changing. This type of thinking could cost you thousands of dollars in the real estate market if you do not educate yourself before you buy or sell your next property.
The purpose of this website is to provide a macro and micro view on the latest and most up to date trends that are occurring in Charleston, SC and the rest of the country. It is important to remember that real estate is local and what is happening in Miami, Atlanta or San Diego may not reflect current market conditions in Charleston.
The trend analysis tools we use for real estate are the some of the same tools we use in the stock market.
