DeBordieu Colony Real Estate

It’s a Wrap!

Closings at DeBordieu — way up!
All this recent real estate sales activity in the past month or so is pointing to two key behaviors of savvy real estate buyers in this market:

(1) they are choosing communities like DeBordieu that offer the most value, and

(2) they are buying and closing before the end of the year.

The timing issues are pretty obvious.
Just about everybody knows that on the coast of sunny South Carolina, we get most of our real estate sales activity between Easter and Labor Day.
Right now, sellers are looking at either sitting on their property through the long, not-so-cold, winter, OR they can consider and negotiate some of the offers being made by buyers who have the ability to close before the end of the year.

It’s a win/win.
Sellers are relieved of their property, and buyers stand a better chance of getting a better deal than they would have gotten if they had waited until the bloom of spring, and the onset of a whole new flock of competitive buyers in the marketplace.


Another factor that comes into play includes the inventory of homes, lots and villas in all price ranges currently available at DeBordieu.

Some buyers that have closed recently have been involved in cash transactions, while others have sited low interest rates as the reason they moved forward.

Closing by December 31 also offers significant tax advantages to some buyers and some sellers, who therefore are more likely to negotiate to make the transaction work.


There is no doubt that buyers who can pull the trigger right now want the absolute most bang for their proverbial buck. I honestly know of no other community on the East Coast that offers the complete package of man-made and natural amenities that DeBordieu offers its residents.
Protected by a 24-hour manned security gate, DeBordieu is surrounded by thousands of acres of protected wildlife preserves. The community offers access to six and a half miles of beautiful beach. There is a boat landing giving DeBordieu residents creek access to the pristine estuary of North Inlet and some of the most fertile fishing ground on the East Coast.

Nestled in the center of all this nature, Pete and P.B. Dye skillfully crafted and gently placed a private, championship golf course.




Other amenities include a tennis center, an oceanfront beach club with swimming pools and fine dining, and nature trails for biking, walking and golf carts.
It’s no wonder that DeBordieu has caught the eye of some of the most savvy real estate buyers in the Southeast and beyond.

And if you close before Christmas…. we’ll wrap it for ya!

The Kitchen

There are so many elements to consider when designing a kitchen! Where DOES one start!
At DeBordieu, the private oceanfront golf community on the coast of South Carolina, the view is perhaps the best starting place. Whether you’re building or remodeling your kitchen on the beach, creek, lake, golf course, or nestled in the forest, there are a number of great kitchen views to be had. And let’s face it, that’s where we spend most of our time, with or without guests.

As stated by KCM Crew this morning: “Bottom Line, when the iconic financial newspaper (WSJ) and the iconic financial magazine (Forbes) say that it now makes financial sense to purchase a house, perhaps it’s time to buy a home.” ~ KCM

Some of the highlights include:
“Now could be the best time in history to buy a home.” ~ MarketWatch.com (the on-line blog for WSJ

It’s an excellent time to buy a house, either to live in for the long term or for investment income…Hou
ses aren’t the magic wealth creators they were made out to be during the bubble. But when prices are low, loans are cheap and plump investment yields are scarce, buyers should jump.” ~ WSJ


“The previous declines in house prices and the more recent drop in mortgage rates to record lows have created an unusual situation in which the median monthly mortgage payment is more or less the same as the median rental payment.” ~ Capital Ecomomics (Forbes)

I’ve had the good fortune of working with some very savvy buyers in the past 6 months, and they all agree. Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence or second home, when you
consider the inventory, the interest rates, and the seller motivation, there has never been a better time.

AFFLUENT ABODES

AFFLUENT ABODES Writer visits DeBordieu
Affluent Abodes is a blog about Luxury Real Estate from all over the world. When you read it, you would think the writer is a sophisticated real estate expert with years of experience in the business.
The writer is a teenager.
But Cole Perkins is not just any ordinary

teenager. At just 14 years old, AFFLUENT ABODES is Cole’s second Luxury Real Estate blog.

I first met Cole when I saw his interview with Chris Smith (formerly of Tech Savvy Agent and currently the Chief Evangelist for Inman News). I immediately sent him two of my most luxurious listings, which he included on his 1st blog, LAVISH PROPERTIES. A few months later, Cole and his family stopped by on their way from Myrtle Beach to Charleston, SC. I had the opportunity to meet Cole’s parents and sisters and give them a little tour of DeBordieu.
This week, the Perkins family rented a house in DeBordieu, and Cole offered to intern with me. Cole got some good experience last summer working with a luxury general brokerage firm in New York City. I wanted to give him a taste of how an onsite real estate company works to sell a specific amenity community like DeBordieu. In turn, he offered to share with me some of what he has learned about how technology could improve my business.
I told him my goal was to have everyone looking for real estate on the coast of South Carolina to know that Troi Kaz specialized in DeBordieu and Pawleys Island, and that I particularly wanted to offer an alternative to folks who already knew about places like Kiawah a

nd Hilton Head Island, but perhaps had never heard of DeBordieu.
His first suggestion to me was to change the name of my Twitter profile from DeBordieuSC to Coastal_SC, which I did. Within 48 hours, I had 30 new followers! We’ve been tossing around a few other changes and projects I intend to implement over the next few months, so be on the lookout.

Cole has grown up with technology and actually attends Cyber School which is a combination of home school and public school. He says starting a blog was pretty easy for him considering he has 8 computers in his house! While most teenagers spend their time playing video games, Cole prefers to browse the web for high end real estate on sites like Realtor.com and tries to write a post a day.
Cole Perkins is an amazing young man for whom I have the greatest respect. He’s really cute and fun too! Visit his blog at:http://www.affluentabodes.blogspot.com/
By the way, the pictures on this page are of the two luxury properties that Cole featured in his blog a while back. For more information about either of them, contact me at TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com
