We're in the top everything for some reason. I mean, I absolutely LOVE my city but cmon. I've been to numerous U.S. states including Hawaii (never have seen such a more beautiful place) and also 9 countries and I don't get why Charleston keeps ranking high on everything.

So are many places in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. I still don't get how Charleston bypasses them though. And like I said earlier, I love Charleston but I don't get some of these lists.

My guess is with this article, we are far surpassing what the average real estate market's performance is. The first paragraph states that globally, real estate ventures are up 8.4% but the markets listed below are really hot. Then it goes on to list the hot markets. I know first hand that we are waaay out performing the market. I think I posted last months stats last week somewhere. Condos up 20%, homes over $350K (which would be the market this article was after) up almost 34%! While pricing has risen a modest 10%, sales of these homes is outrageous at the moment.

There was a Mt. Pleasant listing the other day for example. $450K ish home. It hit the MLS on Friday, by Monday morning there were 11 offers, 7 of which were over asking price, they ratified the contact by that afternoon.

This is one of the hottest markets in the nation for sure, and with almost 250 small to midsize tech companies here now or on the way, we are becoming a force in that industry, which will most certainly bring us more relocatees and jobs and hot housing conditions.

What areas are hott now (neigborhoods)? If you had infinite funds, where would you buy and predict would have the greatest return in 10 years?

Yeah real estate is HOTTTTTTTT in this area, no joke. Especially MtP. From my research, it's no wonder we are on that list, tbh.
