James Island is one of the most popular areas to live in Charleston, SC. While some buyers want newer homes, many buyers seek older homes for the larger lots and the brick exteriors. On James Island, you’ll find these two features more in the older homes than the newer homes.

The majority of residential communities in this area are older, established neighborhoods. So, you’ll find quite a few to choose from. We’ve included some of the more popular established communities on James Island below.

Riverland Terrace is a marshfront community that overlooks John’s Island. Many buyers like this community because it’s within walking distance of the Charleston Municipal Golf Course on James Island. Many of these homes are small and cottage-like, which means low square footage but those great architectural details that you won’t find in new construction for the same price! Riverland Terrace has a very wide price range, with current prices going from $190,000 to $2.3 Million.

Harbor Woods has larger homes with a variety of styles. Some of these have been renovated, but many have outdated kitchens and baths. For the most part, though the renovations needed would be cosmetic. Since many home buyers look for homes that need some work, I wanted to make sure to include this neighborhood in the list. Right now prices in Harbor Woods are from about $300,000 to $490,000.

Fort Johnson Estates is a pretty large neighborhood, so you’ll almost always come across it your search results. These are mostly brick ranch style houses, so there is not as much variety in the home selection. However, it’s a popular established community in this area. Prices right now range from $260,000 to $430,000.

Stiles Point Plantation is more expensive, with current prices from 460,000 to 675,000. These houses are generally quite large – some are 3,000+ square feet. Stiles Point is also a little newer, with most of the homes being built in the 1980s and 1990s. Lot sizes in this community are quite large for James Island. You’ll find many homes with over half an acre lot size.

Escrow is a way of keeping an amount of money safe while a legal transaction is going on. It's like having someone that both you and the buyer both trust hold on to payment for merchandise or services while the actual changing of hands takes place; in this case, the trustworthy helper is an account held by a broker. Escrow helps reduce the likelihood that either of the parties involved in the transaction will get scammed.
It's funny, the things we become blind to when we live in a home for years. It's like the longer you look at the little cracks and stains the less you actually see them. However, when you're looking to put your house on the market it's important to remember that someone with a fresh eye will definitely notice all the little flaws, no matter how subtle they seem to you.

A less obvious benefit to mobile and prefab homes is that they’re environmentally friendly. Because they are built in a climate controlled assembly line factory environment, there is less waste generated and less building materials ruined by weather or vandalism than you would find with on-site building. Many companies also give you the option to choose more energy efficient options for your custom built home, saving you even more money in the long run.
You know that kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore other parts of a house when it comes to staging it to sell. One of the most neglected yet biggest selling features of a home is the garage. Many homeowners think they can simply close the garage door when they put their house on the market and hope potential buyers won’t notice the clutter or hope they will forgive the mess.
Most people only sell a small number of homes in their lifetime. With such limited experience, how do you expect to be capable of maximizing your profits from your home sale?
