The home buying process can be a daunting task that often involves sorting through dozens of available properties. By using the information provided through a Charleston Multiple Listing Service, prospective buyers can save many hours, while narrowing the search to the specific homes that meet their needs. Buyers will discover homes posted on the MLS in various price ranges, locations and sizes, and with any special features included, making the system a quick method for finding the ideal property.

Financial Information

Our Charleston MLS lists properties for sale according to price, typically organized from the highest figure to the lowest. Other financial information consists of property taxes and homeowners association fees, if applicable. Bank liens or special financing options may be noted and could affect the cost of obtaining a new mortgage.

Neighborhood, School District and Location

An important criterion to consider when selecting a home for sale includes the neighborhood and location of the property. Homebuyers with children will find descriptions about school districts and specific information regarding elementary, middle, and high schools in the area. Buyers can refer to nearby cross streets to check for traffic noise and convenient access to major intersections.

Bedrooms, Baths and Square Footage

The size of a property is detailed in the listings and includes the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall room count. Square footage, incorporating all of the interior space such as the garage, basement and bonus rooms, is also shown. Some listings even contain a floor plan, particularly when the property is part of an established development project.

Special Amenities

Special features such as water or greenbelt views, access to golf courses, gated or manned security programs or outstanding neighborhood amenities may also be listed. Community centers that are available to residents, such as pools, and recreation and fitness areas, may influence the decision-making process, as well.

Our Charleston SC MLS is an effective tool that provides buyers and realtors with a basis for choosing an ideal property. By comparing recent sales and new listings, the best price can be negotiated. Buyers can find all of the information necessary to begin their search for a new home right here at Carolina One.
