charleston real estate

Went to see some properties with the help of a friendly local agent. Wow! A beautiful 1 bed condo can be had for around 100K. This is when the cdn and the us dollar are at par! The market here is sluggish and they offer all sors of incentives. One of the properties we saw was 5 minutes from the beach and all had gorgeous landscaping, palm trees and the rest of it. Similar properties in T.O. sans the palm trees would go for 350K. We are now very seriously contemplating a purchase down here.

Downtown Charleston is quaint, old and charming. Whether it actually has any dynamism and life has yet to be seen....we had a disappointing, expensive lunch at a place called Cafe Cafe. The service sucked and the food blew (or is it "blowed"?)
