Lexington SC Real Estate Taxes Remain Unchanged

July 6th, 2009 12:57 PM

Lexington SC Real Estate Taxes will remain unchanged

Lexington SC Real EstateTaxes will remain unchanged according to a recent article in the Lexington Chronicle. This decision comes after much debate and concern over whether or not the district would receive some much needed stimulus money. The Lexington District 1 school board said that with 6 million dollars in stimulus money, the possbile tax increase as well as possible layoffs are no longer needed. The money will save 36 teaching positions, which is great news for Lexinton 1 schools and Lexington residents with children in schools.

Lake Murray Dam and Pets

June 7th, 2009 11:02 PM

Lake Murray Dam Great for Recreation but not pets??

The Lake Murray Dam is a great addition to our communtiy and has without a doubt had a huge impact on

Columbia

area residents and their interest in getting outside and exercising. Everytime I drive across the dam, no matter the time of day there are people enjoying the wonderful scenery while walking or running. According to a recent article in the Lexington Chronicle, the Lexington County Council will be considering a ban on animals on the Lake Murray Dam walkway that should stop some of the problems associated with pets and owners who don't clean up after them. The Cooper River Bridge faced some similar challenges on it's walk ways and has banned animals as well.

Lexington SC Real Estate Taxes - District 1

May 18th, 2009 3:50 PM

Lexington SC Real Estate Taxes in District One Remain Steady

Lexington SC Real Estate Taxes are not going up (at least for the school portion) according to a recent article in the Lexington Chronicle. The Lexington 1 District proposed a budget for 2009-2010 that included cutting up to 39 jobs and using reserve funds to balance the new 171.5 million dollar plan. According to the article the district absorbed about 8 million in revenue cuts for the current budget. The budget must still have several readings before approval. Some are concerned about how this will effect class sizes and other school related activities that will likely be addressed at the public hearings.

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

The Lexington activity was mixed, as has been the trend lately. Irmo listings were up as well as sales. Lake Murray activity still remains relatively slow overall but showed positive signs in the lower price range. Chapin activity was mixed again. Columbia and Northeast Columbia were mixed but have been showing a slight trend downward. For the most part as school starts to finish up the market will take a little break and then pick up in activity as the summer begins. The overall trends and activity are still looking very good.

Lake Murray Water Levels in Question

April 21st, 2009 5:02 PM

Lexington SC Homes - Lake Murray Water Levels In Question

In a recent article in the Lexington Chronicle, it was reported that there is a battle going on in regards to the water levels for Lake Murray. As you may or may not know, Lake Murray water levels are controlled by a dam, operated by SCE&G. One group, the SCDNR wants to lower the lake more to increase the flow of water into the Lower Saluda to improve the spawning of striped bass. Their opposition, the lake Murray Association feels that this drop in lake levels will not only have an adverse effect on Lake Murray Real Estate and Lexington SC Real Estate but also have a significant economic impact. We'll just have to wait to see what the final outcome is.

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

The Lexington market saw a huge spike down this week in listings and sales numbers were down some as well. Irmo sales and listings were both up making positive ground. Lake Murray activity still remains relatively slow. Chapin was down from last week, but dom did go down some. Columbia and Northeast Columbia were mixed over last week, but held their ground fairly well. The year over year data suggests that the market is getting better, which is a positive sign for everyone!

Lexington SC Real Estate May See Tax Break

March 30th, 2009 10:30 PM

Lexington SC Real Estate May Get a Tax Break

As reported in the Columbia Regional Business Report the SC House of Representatives will have a chance to debate a bill designed to end the immediate reassessment of properties at their sale price. For owners of Lexington SC Real Estate this would be welcomed as the bill is designed to have properties reassessed only during the county's annual 5 year cycle. This change in the tax structure should help those buyers considering a purchase but not moving forward because of the increased ownership costs caused by the current plan. This change should also help stabalize some commercial properties that have seen a huge tax increased that is then passed on to tenants and small business owners.

The bill has passed the Ways and Means Committee and will now move on to the House.

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

The Lexington area saw a slide on the sales side, but the DOM went down for this period. Irmo sales and listings were very slow for the week but the average sales price did take a big jump up. Lake Murray listings picked up some, but sales are still slow except for some homes priced on the lower end of the range. Chapin had a good listing week but slower on the sales side. Columbia and Northeast Columbia both saw a drop in sales during this period. As is normally the case in this area, in the spring, we are seeing more homes come on the market while sales for this week slowed somewhat. The big thing to remember is we didn't get here overnight and we won't get out overnight!

Luz Bouleris and Sonia Roman Join Exit Real Estate Consultants

March 10th, 2009 8:26 PM

Luz Bouleris and Sonia Roman Join Exit Real Estate Consultants

Exit Real Estate Consultants, located in Lexington, SC is pleased to announce that Luz Bouleris and Sonia Roman have joined the sales team !

Luz Bouleris was born in Chicago and raised in Medellin, Colombia, South America. Luz was transferred to Columbia, SC with her husband Jim. Prior to becoming a licensed Realtor® Luz was a manager for a computer software consulting company where Luz became proficient at listening to the needs of her clients and translating those needs into software design specifications. She finds these skills transfer well into real estate where she counsels home buyers and sellers, determining their needs, then ‘designing’ a plan to help her clients meet their goals.
Luz actively invests in real estate and believes that owning investment property is an excellent way to save for retirement.
Luz has earned the Home-Staging Specialist (AHS) Accreditation and has successfully helped clients stage their properties resulting in quicker sales at higher prices.

Sonia Roman was born in Bogota, Colombia (South America). Sonia came to Miami in 2001 to develop her skills in English that she had learned in school. After a year she decided to come to USC to formally study and fell in love with southern hospitality. She planned on staying three months. That was six years ago.
Sonia’s interest in real estate properties began early in life. Her father, a civil engineer, would bring her to construction sites during weekends and teach her about the construction process. However, it was eight moves in seven years that sparked her passion for real estate buying and selling. She knows first hand how challenging transitions can be and how important it is to be guided by someone who is knowledgeable and experienced.
Sonia holds a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design. She has over nine years of experience in account management combined with graphic design. Six of these years were in the export business. This provided her the opportunity to interact with clients all over the world. From this she has gained an understanding of other cultures, the importance of recognizing their needs, and what it takes to meet their expectations. Having someone you trust, and with whom you feel comfortable, is invaluable in navigating the process of buying, or selling, a home.

Lexington SC Real Estate - New Schools on the Horizon for Lexington and White Knoll

March 1st, 2009 10:24 PM

Lexington SC Real Estate - New Schools on the Horizon for Lexington and White Knoll

Owners of Lexington SC Real Estate will see some progress in the way of new schools starting in 2009 according to a recent article in the Lexington Chronicle. The school bond, which was passed in the fall of 2008 will fund 5 new schools in total. Two elementary schools (scheduled to open in 2010 and 2011), a middle school, and a high school in the Lexington attendance area, and a new White Knoll area elementary school. These new schools are an important part of the healthy growth process of the Lexington District One, which saw 1,500 new students in the past two years. This figure goes a long way in convincing people that our school system is a big factor influencing poeple moving to our area. I know that many current and future residents are anxious to see these new schools open their doors!

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

The Lexington market saw a huge jump this past week. In part to some new construction coming on the market, but the sales were also good. Irmo followed a great week up with moderate performance for the week. Lake Murray real estate continues to be the slowest moving in the market as evidenced by the numbers. Chapin sales have continued to be solid and listings are good as well. Columbia and Northeast Columbia were both up big for the week. These numbers do indicate our market is heading in the right direction. While we continue to face some challenges in these economic times, it is very encouraging to continue to see more and more buyers and sellers in the marketplace.

Lexington SC Real Estate - Some Residents Will See a Water and Sewer Rate Hike

February 24th, 2009 10:27 PM

Lexington SC Real Estate - Some Residents Will See a Water and Sewer Rate Hike

Some owners of Lexington SC Real Estate may be in for a water and sewer rate increase on July 1. In the most recent edition of the Lexington Chronicle it was reported that the proposed 3% rate increase for customers of the Town of Lexington could take effect mid summer if the increase is approved by the council. The proposed increase could cost the average in town user an extra $2.00 per month. According to the article this would be the first of more increases to come over the next 5 years. The fast pace growth of Lexington SC Real Estate has caused some issues like this to arise, but increases like this are necessary sometimes to keep up with the growth.

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

The Lexington market had a little slow down on the listing side, which was expected, but the sales are up and DOM is down. I know in our office we have seen a big pick up in the market ! Irmo also followed suit with more homes sold and a decrease in DOM. Lake Murray sales are still very slow, but this period did show an increase in listings. Chapin sales were up big, which is very encouraging for all of us. Columbia and Northeast Columbia both experienced some similar numbers in activity for the week. Overall, numbers like this tell me the sales are picking up and moving some existing inventory in advance of our typical Spring market.

Lexington SC Real Estate Growth Cause for Landscape Ordinance Change

February 16th, 2009 8:12 PM

Lexinton SC Real Estate Growth Cause for Landscape Ordinance Change

In the most recent edition of the Lexington Chronicle it was reported that County Council is considering changes to a 10 year old plan designed to protect scenic corridors and trees in the county. The council is considering some mapping changes to make the overall plan more inclusive. County Planning director Charles Compton is quoted, "The new maps could include all areas of the county." This should be a positive for Lexington SC Real Estate as the governmental agencies in the area keep up with the growth. One other changed mentioned will have an impact on golf course communties like Golden Hills. This proposed change could protect homeowners from development if golf course areas are abandoned inside the subdivision. The proposed changes still need two more votes from County Council to become law.

LEXINGTON SC HOME SALES STATISTICS

Sales numbers so far for the year appear to still be all over the place! One week of positive trends followed by a week of down seems to be the norm these days. As we approach Spring, there should be a better pattern develop for the market as a whole. Lexington SC Real Estate Sales are still a little sluggish and Lake Murray Real Estate sales seem to be the slowest to make a come back. Chapin saw a nice jump in listings for the week, but sales remained slow.
