Your Second Home: The Carolinas
May 3, 2004
Most second home buyers want to be on or close to the ocean, reports
Gerry Prud’homme, a broker with Sea Pines Real Estate Co. They are looking for
houses with at least five bedrooms, entertainment-size kitchens, elevators and
heated pools.
The barrier islands off Charleston are popular, due to the
easy 20-minute drive into the city. Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, Wild Dunes
and the very exclusive Dewees Island are hot with buyers now; prices range from
$210,000 to $4 million. Alexander Stone III, owner of Island Realty on Isle of
Palms, said that half of his clientele are locals, hailing from the Carolinas;
most of the rest are from Georgia. “The biggest plus is the city of Charleston
and all of its cultural amenities,” he says. The area offers boating, fishing,
crabbing, shrimping, horseback riding and, of course, the beach.
