On behalf of all staff here at Century 21 Barefoot Realty, we hope that you had a wonderful Holiday Season.

In general, 2010 was a year of "small baby steps" back towards a healthy Coastal South Carolina real estate market. Over $1.9 billion dollars of real estate was sold in our three county marketplace in 2010 which results in an almost 10% increase in sales volume and 25% increase in transaction volume. If lending rates hold as projected, we are anticipating continual improvement this year. Unlike most other coastal markets, the Grand Strand was not over-built and therefore does not have the inventory "overhang" evident elsewhere. Our relatively limited inventory should expedite price stabilization.

As a fellow property owner in Barefoot Resort & Golf, please remember that we are the Century 21 with Barefoot in our name and we know your neighborhood better than any other agency. The difference is our people and we are onsite here in Barefoot ready to assist you!

Warmest Regards,

Tom Staats, Jr.

President
