Happy Thanksgiving

Today as I think about the approaching holidays, I think of all the things there are to be thankful for…..  Family, loved ones, friends, great co-workers, a beautiful view of the marsh out my window, my short game is improving and living in South Carolina means there is a longer season for fresh fruits and vegetables.  All great things indeed.  All about me indeed.

As I take a professional view of what I am thankful for I include:


  • Talks between major lenders and states attorney generals about the nationwide investigation of foreclosure practices are accelerating, with state officials pushing for a broad overhaul of the modification process.
  • Mortgage delinquencies are on the decline. 
  • Home inventory in Beaufort county is coming down.  In 2009 there was a 22.4 month supply of inventory.  Through October of 2010 there is a 21.6 month supply of inventory.
  • Pending home sales are up 19.9% over 2009.
  • While prices of homes YTD are lower than 2009, both units sold and total volume are up.

And one last thing I am thankful for…… (Reprinted from The State newspaper November 23, 2010.)

COLUMBIA, S.C. — About 80 soldiers from a South Carolina Army National Guard unit are returning home after eight months providing security for U.S. engineers and medical personnel in Afghanistan.
Guard spokesman Capt. Tim Irvin says the last group from the 1st Battalion, 178th Field Artillery, based in Georgetown, should return Sunday to the Columbia airport. Others in the 800-soldier unit have been coming back in small groups since Nov. 12.
They were posted near Kabul and provided security for members of a provincial reconstruction team.


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!!!!!!
