There are still lots of existing homes for sale in the Goose Creek and the Hanahan area.  But brand new construction homes are still selling faster than existing homes . Why? The reason is because the builders, who have survived the downturn in the market, have been able to price their homes much more competively. With the reduction in overall building, labor and materials costs have gone down. For buyers looking to buy their first home, it makes a lot of sense to buy a brand new home with a builders warranty than existing a home with potential issues that need to be addressed in the near future (i.e. roof).  To get the best deal, it is the best interest of the buyer to work with a REALTOR to make ensure they negotiate the best possible price and terms.  If you work directly with the bu... 12/11/2008
