Charleston Chefs Feed the Need
There is a fun charity event tonight, at The Riviera Conference Theater, located at 227 King Street, downtown. It is a contest between 25 bartenders from local restaurants to see who is the "most inspired". The winner will be featured in GQ Magazine's Man of the Year issue. Tickets are $25, and only 400 will be sold. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to Charleston Chefs Feed the Need, which is a coalition of 50+ local restaurants, caterers, and hoteliers who are helping to feed the hungry. The program is the nation's first organized relief effort in which meals are cooked and served by the local hospitality industry on a year round basis. If you are lacking entertainment tonight, you should stop by and cast your vote- it should be a good time, and for a worthy cause!

Midtown- Terrific Value for Downtown Charleston

Summer is in full swing at Midtown, and we've taken a look at finalized statistics through the end of the second quarter. While active listings in Downtown Charleston are slightly up from 2008, and closed homes are slightly down, an interesting point is that the average sales price is up by about $30,000. This is an indicator that Downtown remains a solid buy, even in these economic times. With the College of Charleston, MUSC, the Charleston School of Law, and the incredible quality of life that our City offers its residents, Downtown Charleston will continue to be a place where people will want to live, work, and play. Within the City, Midtown is the best thing available, for many reasons. In addition to the location and the things going on in the area which will add value, the quality of the construction and finishes, and the fact that the homes are brand new, Midtown is an incredible value. The average price per square foot of active listings at Midtown is $319.52, and the average of comparable listings downtown is $378.52 per square foot. When you consider this value, the location (walking distance to everything), and the upscale, low maintenance lifestyle offered at Midtown, and take into account that prices, on average, are still increasing in Downtown Charleston, it becomes very clear that this is a great neighborhood to call home.

New Model Now Furnished!

We have officially moved into our new model, located at 36 Cannon Street. It looks terrific! The floor to ceiling Kal-wal lets in tons of natural light, and it is always fun to see a new floor plan furnished. There are double porches on both the first and second floors, and a private terrace off the third floor master suite. The master bathroom is one of our best ones; it's all carrera marble with a huge soaking tub and separate shower, and the master bedroom has his and hers walk in closets. This is a great floorplan, and an incredible value to for new construction in downtown Charleston!
