South Carolina Real Estate Market
Currently in the South Carolina real estate markets, homes sell quickly and sellers have a lot of pricing power. As a result, prices rise more rapidly than at other times. During buyers' markets, homes may sit on the market for awhile before selling, so sellers become more flexible and may even drop their prices.
The market is determined by supply and demand.
For South Carolina real estate, the relationship between supply and demand is calculated as "available inventory." At the current sales pace, how long would it take to sell the total number of houses available on the market? That is how the real estate industry measures inventory.
Inventory is measured in weeks and months. Longer inventory times are associated with buyers' markets. Shorter inventory periods are associated with sellers' markets. Some buyers and sellers hope to time their purchase to take advantage of market cycles.
A Brief History of South Carolina
South Carolina stretches from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Blue Ridge Mountains, containing 31,113 square miles. Fortieth in
geographic area among the fifty states, it ranks twenty-sixth in population. The
Palmetto State's more than four million citizens value its rich history, a legacy that
is a prime factor in making tourism one of the state's largest industries.
Spaniards explored the South Carolina coast
as early as 1514, and Hernando DeSoto met the Queen of Cofitachiqui in 1540 when
he crossed the central part of the state. Spanish fears of French rivalry were
heightened when Huguenots led by Jean Ribaut attempted to settle on what is now
Parris Island near Beaufort in 1562. After Ribaut returned to France for
reinforcements, the soldiers who were left behind revolted, built themselves a
ship, and sailed for France the next year. The horrors of that voyage went
beyond eating shoes to cannibalism before an English ship rescued the pitiful
remainder of the French attempt to colonize here.
The Spanish built Fort San Felipe on Parris
Island in 1566 and made the new settlement there, known as Santa
Elena, the capital of La Florida Province. In 1576, under attack from Native
Americans, Santa Elena was abandoned, but the fort was rebuilt the next year.
The English also posed a threat. A decade later, after Sir Francis Drake had
destroyed St. Augustine, the Spanish decided to concentrate their forces there.
With the withdrawal from Santa Elena to St. Augustine in 1587, South Carolina
was again left to the Native Americans until the English established the first
permanent European settlement at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River in 1670.
King
Charles II had given Carolina to eight English noblemen, the Lords
Proprietors. The proprietors' first settlers included many Barbadians, and South
Carolina came to resemble more closely the plantation economy of the West Indies
than did the other mainland colonies. By 1708, a majority of the non-native
inhabitants were African slaves. Native Americans, ravaged by diseases
against which they had no resistance, last significantly threatened the colony's
existence in the Yemassee War of 1715. After the colonists revolted against
proprietary rule in 1719, the proprietors' interests were bought out and South
Carolina became a royal province.
By the 1750s, rice and indigo had made the
planters and merchants of the South Carolina lowcountry the wealthiest men in
what would become the United States. Government encouragement of white
Protestant settlement in townships in the interior and migration from
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina were to give the upcountry a
different character: smaller farms and a larger percentage of German,
Scots-Irish, and Welsh settlers. By 1790, this part of the state temporarily
gave the total population a white majority, but the spread of cotton plantations
soon again made African American slaves the majority.
Charlestonians were strong supporters of
their rights as Englishmen in the Stamp Act crisis in 1765, and South Carolina
would play a significant role when differences escalated into the American
Revolution. The Charleston merchant Henry Laurens served as President of the
Continental Congress in 1777 and 1778. The first decisive victory of the war was
the repulse of a British fleet by patriot defenders in a palmetto log fort on
Sullivans Island on June 28, 1776. Over two hundred battles and skirmishes
occurred in the State, many of them vicious encounters between South Carolinians
who opted for independence and those who chose to remain loyal to King George.
Battles at Kings Mountain (1780) and
Cowpens (1781) were turning points in the war.
South Carolina became the eighth state to
ratify the United States Constitution in 1788, and in 1790 moved its seat of
government from Charleston to the new city of Columbia in the state's midlands.
South Carolinians played a prominent role in antebellum regional and national
politics. Andrew Jackson was born near the North Carolina border but claimed
South Carolina as his native state. John C. Calhoun served as secretary of war
before becoming vice president of the United States in 1824. Calhoun emerged as
the preeminent political theorist of state's rights when South Carolina
nullified federal tariffs in 1832. The state thereafter was in the lead in
resisting the threat to southern institutions from abolitionists and a stronger
federal government and was the first to secede from the Union when it ratified
the Ordinance of Secession on December 20, 1860.
The first shots of the Civil War were fired
in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. Two days later the federal garrison in Fort
Sumter surrendered to Confederate forces. Union troops occupied the sea
islands in the Beaufort area in November, beginning the move toward freedom for
a few of the state's slaves, but few military engagements occurred within the
state's borders until 1865. One-fifth of South Carolina's white males of
fighting age were sacrificed to the Confederate cause, and General William
Tecumseh Sherman's march through the state at the war's end left a trail of
destruction. Poverty would mark the state for generations to come.
African Americans played a prominent role
in South Carolina government while the State was occupied by federal troops from
1866 to 1877. The Constitution of 1868 brought democratic reforms, but
adjustments from a slave to a free society were not easily made and corruption
in government under "radical" reconstruction left a bitter taste.
Confederate General
Wade Hampton III's tenure as governor after a disputed and violent election
in 1876 marked the return to power of native-born whites. "Pitchfork
Ben" Tillman's agrarian populists gave him the governorship in 1890 and
leadership in a constitutional convention five years later that disenfranchised
the state's African Americans. The Tillman era ended with the election of
Progressive Governor
Richard I. Manning in 1914.
Rapid expansion of the textile industry in
the 1890s began the state's recovery from a share-cropper economy, but the boll
weevil gave the Great Depression a head start here in the 1920s. The state’s
poverty and racial practices caused many African Americans to seek opportunities
in Northern cities; after 1920, South Carolina no longer had a black majority.
The expansion of military bases during World War II and domestic and foreign
investment in manufacturing in more recent decades have revitalized the state.
The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s ended legal segregation and
discrimination and began the incorporation of the state’s African Americans
into the political and economic power structure of the state. South Carolina had
not had a black state senator for a century when the civil rights leader I.
DeQuincy Newman joined that body in 1983. In 1970 when South Carolina celebrated
its Tricentennial, more than 80% of its residents had been born in the state.
Inclusion in the "sun belt" has brought many newcomers since then, but
the state's history still both shadows and illumines our daily lives.
THE STATE
SEAL
 Left side: The palmetto tree springs from a
fallen oak tree, which represents the British ships that South
Carolina patriots defeated at Sullivan's Island in 1776. The
shields on the palmetto trunk give the dates of the Declaration
of Independence (4 July 1776) and the date that South Carolina
adopted its first state constitution (26 March 1776). The motto
on the banner means "who shall separate?" The words
under the tree trunk translate to "Having fallen it has set
up a better." ANIMIS OPIBUSQUE PARATI means "Prepared
in mind and resources."
Right side: The woman represents hope
overcoming danger, and the laurel branch in her hand symbolizes
the victory at Sullivan's Island. SPES means hope. DUM SPIRO
SPERO means "While I breathe, I hope". DUM SPIRO SPERO
and ANIMIS OPIBUSQUE PARATI are the state mottoes.
The State
Flag  The white silhouette of the crescent moon and
palmetto tree stand in sharp contrast to the midnight blue
background. The crescent represents the silver emblem worn on the
caps of South Carolina's First and Second Continental Regiments
in the Revolutionary War. The palmetto tree was added later to
honor the 28 June 1776, patriot victory at a palmetto log fort on
Sullivan's Island. Asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag for the use of South Carolina troops, Col. William Moultrie chose a blue which matched the color of their uniforms and a crescent which reproduced the silver emblem worn on the front of their caps. The palmetto tree was added later to represent Moultrie's heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan's Island against the attack of the British fleet on June 28, 1776.

THE STATE SONG
The words of the state song are from a poem by Henry Timrod
and were set to music by Anne Curtis Burgess.
Carolina
Call on thy children of the hill,
Wake swamp and river, coast and rill.
Rouse all thy strength and all thy skill.
Carolina! Carolina!
Hold up the glories of thy dead;
Say how thy elder children bled,
And point to Eutaw's battle-bed.
Carolina! Carolina!
Thy skirts indeed the foe may part,
Thy robe be pierced with sword and dart,
They shall not touch thy noble heart,
Carolina! Carolina!
Throw thy bold banner to the breeze!
Front with thy ranks the threatening seas
Like thine own proud armorial trees,
Carolina! Carolina!
Grit with such wills to do and bear.
Assured in right, and mailed in prayer.
Thou wilt not bow thee to despair.
Carolina! Carolina!
