A home like this comes on the market once in a decade. It’s spacious, fully renovated and designed to the highest standards.

Pace of prices is cooling down

By duda • March 12, 2019

It’s been a rough ride for homebuyers lately, as prices have hit the roof with little respite. All of that looks to change soon.

💰 Is homeownership really a good investment? Let's break it down: ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Equity Growth – Every mortgage payment increases your ownership stake in the home. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Appreciation – Home values tend to increase over time, building wealth. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Tax Benefits – Deductions on mortgage interest, property taxes, and capital gains can save you money. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Fixed Costs vs. Rent Hikes – A fixed mortgage payment locks in housing costs, while rent often increases yearly. ⁣ ⁣ 📌 Thinking about buying? Let's chat about building long-term wealth through homeownership! ⁣ 📲 (803) 609-8847 ⁣ 📧 info@trinityrealtygroup.net ⁣ #WealthBuilding #HomeOwnership #RealEstate#homebuying #2025HousingMarket #realestatetips #markettrends #homeselling ⁣

💡 Planning to sell? Timing is everything! ⁣ ⁣ Selling too soon can cost you in taxes, closing costs, and lost equity. Here's what to consider: ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Avoid Capital Gains Tax – If you sell before living in the home for 2 years, you may owe capital gains tax on your profit. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Build Enough Equity – Selling before 5 years could mean you break even or lose money after agent fees and closing costs. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Market Conditions Matter – Interest rates and inventory levels affect the list price of your home. ⁣ ⁣ 📌 Thinking about selling? Let's figure out the best timing for your situation! ⁣ ⁣ 📲 (803) 609-8847 📧 info@trinityrealtygroup.net ⁣ ⁣ 📌 Disclaimer: This is not tax or financial advice.

Thinking about buying a home? One of the biggest tax benefits of homeownership is the mortgage interest deduction—but how much can it actually save you?

🏡 Buyers or Sellers Market in 2025? The housing market slightly favors sellers nationally, with a 4-month supply of single-family homes. 📉 But real estate is local, and the dynamics in your area may differ! 💡 What does this mean for you? ✅ Sellers: It’s a great time to boost curb appeal and price strategically. ✅ Buyers: Start planning now—optimize your credit and know your budget.

Can buying a home really provide tax advantages? Answer: It depends… ⁣ ⁣ ✅ First, there are two ways to reduce your taxable income: ⁣ ⁣ ✔ Standard Deduction: A fixed amount anyone can take. (For 2025: $15,000 for singles, $30,000 for married couples filing jointly.) ⁣ ⁣ ✔ Itemized Deductions: Instead of the standard deduction, you can list specific expenses—like mortgage interest and property taxes—if they add up to MORE than the standard deduction. ⁣ ⁣ 💡 So, do homeowners get better tax benefits? ⁣ ⁣ If your mortgage interest, property taxes, and other deductions exceed the standard deduction, itemizing could save you more money!

5 Quick Tidbits about Home Inspections 😏🏡🔑 1. How much does a home inspection cost? 🔑➡️ The General Home Inspection averages $250-$450 (based on sqft, foundation, extra features, etc.)- normally paid upon inspection. Highly suggest including inspection costs in your home buying budget! 2. When should I schedule the home inspection? 🔑➡️ You’ll want to schedule inspections during your due diligence period, which begins the following day upon your contract being accepted and ratified. 3. Who orders the home inspection? 🔑➡️Your real estate agent is the best person to schedule your inspections since they’ll need to coordinate with the listing agent and seller accordingly. Ask your realtor for recommendations on inspectors if you don’t have a preference. They typically have a list of vendors they can reference for you! 4. Do I need to be present for the home inspections? How long will it take? 🔑➡️ General home inspections can range anywhere from 2-4 hrs depending on house size/condition. It is not imperative for the buyer to be present for the home inspection however, we always recommend that home buyers at least be present for when the inspector reviews his findings w/ you. That way, buyers can better reference any issues and ask the inspector any questions. 5. Is a general home inspection the only inspection I should get? 🔑➡️ This depends on your preference and condition of the home. Typically, buyers may want to start with the general home inspection, which will then help determine if additional inspections are necessary. Generally, many of our clients will at least have a General, HVAC, & Termite inspection completed during the diligence period for safe measure. 🔑 Key Point 🔑 Do not skip on getting a home inspection! Trust us, it is worth the investment! If you have any questions/requests on other topics about the home buying/selling process, message us on Instagram/Facebook!

Happy Closing Day to these two doctors in the making!!! 😀🥼🩺 To some - purchasing a home during medical school may seem daunting, perhaps even unimaginable. But for Liz and Dylan, they asked the right questions, assessed their options and resources, and made a very smart and affordable financial move that sets them up for long term success not only in their medical careers but in the benefits of property ownership as well. 💰💯 A new townhome at the heart of Columbia is not a bad way to start!

Let me know your thoughts!!👇👇🤔💭 #ClosingDay #townhomes #schomesforsale #screalestate #screaltor #screalestateteam #SOLD #firsttimehomebuyer

One of the top highlights of this month thus far goes to helping these dear friends close on their FIRST HOME!! 🤩 Upon starting their home search, Liz & Riley didn’t even consider the thought of a one-level, new construction house UNTIL… after a couple weeks of searching tirelessly, thinking we were done for the day of touring homes, we serendipitously stumbled upon this new floor plan in the beginning stages of construction just across the street. I urged them to take a peak. They agreed. And they were sold the moment they stepped inside. 💯🗝 Their process just goes to show that when you think you’ve got your mind set on one thing, the beauty of keeping an open mind may just guide you to something different yet more perfect than you could have imagined. 🙌 Proud of these two for sticking it through, having patience and most importantly, keeping an open mind throughout their home buying process. I’m extremely grateful for their trust and friendship in allowing me to guide them to their next home! 🏡😄 Swipe to see how they left their permanent mark on their home >>> ✍️👀 #ClosingDay #SChomes #Lexingtonhomes #Newconstruction #firsttimehomebuyer #keepinganopenmind #SCRealEstateTeam #RealEstate

Happy Closing Day to the sweetest family on their first home!! 🏠As competitive the market is, we were still able to check off all the major items of their home wish list and that’s the greatest feeling (well after seeing how excited little Ethan was in choosing his own room of course) 😊 It’s amazing how renting for so long may make taking the leap of homeownership seem scary BUT once you realize building equity, investing in yourself and getting to call a place your own especially with a growing family far outweighs a Renter’s convenience, then the rest is history. 😌 As we like to say in the Philippines… “Mabuhay!!” 🇵🇭 #lowinterestrates #scfilipinos #closingday #sellersmarket #firsttimehomebuyer #homebuyer #schomes #screalestate #screalestateteam #screalestateproperties

No words can describe the sheer joy we have for this guy on closing his FIRST home! 😄🥇His patience, perseverance and openness to adapting to this changing market made all the difference in being able to accomplish what is seemingly becoming more complex in today’s housing market: Becoming a Homeowner. 🏠 On a Very Real Note: ➡️ Closing on a house for buyers seems to hit differently as this year has progressed. In a way, it’s like winning the lottery or finding out you’re the lucky caller on a radio station to win some grand prize 😵‍💫Yes, that’s unfortunately the reality of getting into the home buying process in our current housing market due to record low inventory and the increasing buyer demand for homes. But it IS possible as Matt has proven along with several other clients of ours. It just takes the right approach, an open mind, a knowledgeable realtor 😉and having saved up enough extra cash to win the house you love. ❤️ #firsttimehomebuyer #firsthome #housingmarket #SChomes #SCrealtor #ColumbiaHomes #ColumbiaRealtor #RealestateTeam #sellersmarket

Does YOUR real estate agent go out of their way to personally take quality pictures of your home? • Photographing our client's homes is one of my favorite parts of the job. 📸😊 Sellers... it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to market your home with high quality photos to effectively stand out to buyers and draw in more traffic, especially in those first 2 weeks it hits the market.

~Diving into the Facts: Rent vs. Own ?? ~ • General Takeaway: Don't throw easy money out the window if you don't need to! • ***Disclaimer: This is just an example of how payments can be broken down for a sample home priced at $200,000 and 3% Downpayment. These numbers are calculated based on national averages and can vary depending on the individual, market, and location. Every buyer's situation is different, but if you'd like to learn more about how this applies to you specifically, I HIGHLY suggest having a casual conversation with a real estate agent that you can trust and who has your best interest at heart❤️ (This girl ---> 🙋🏽‍♀️ 📲 ) • #rentvsown #homeequity #homebuyer #buyersagent #SCRealEstateAgent #ColumbiaRealEstate #RealEstateTips #HomeBuyingTips #Renter #Homeowner

How much do you need to start saving to buy a home?? • I'm finding that a lot of home buyers out there are not familiar as to what out-of-pocket costs are involved when purchasing a home and precisely how much they need to save. 🤷‍♀️ So here's a brief breakdown of some of those costs 🤓: 1. Down Payment: (~3%-20% of purchase price OR 0% for USDA Loans) • 2. Home Inspection ($300-$500) • 3. Termite Inspection ($75) • 4. Appraisal ($400-$600) • 5. Closing Costs: (~2%-4% of purchase price) • 6. Home Warranty (~$500-$600) • 7. Buyer's Agent Fee: $0️⃣! No joke. Your payment is your loyalty to us 😏🙏🏼 • Ask me about what costs may apply to YOU specifically, and what your next steps are to get your home search in motion today! 🤳🏘 🏡 • *Disclaimer: These are all just estimates and can vary according to the price and square footage of the home, loan type, buyers preference, and other negotiation factors. • #HomeSavings #DownPayment #ClosingCost #HomeInspection #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #SCRealEstateAgent #SCRealEstate #HomeBuyingTips

~ UNDER CONTRACT ~ Signed, Sealed, Delivered ✍📨 ✅... and this Beautiful 1-Story New-Build Home will be completed in 4 months time to welcome its new homeowner! 😀 • New Construction Home Purchase Tips: • 1) Hire a buyer's real estate agent who you can trust to represent YOUR interests and negotiate on your behalf during the new construction process. • 2) Research the builder and understand what warranties they cover and standard upgrades that comes with the home • 3) Get a Home Inspection anyway! Builders are human too and can make mistakes 👷‍♀️ • Contact us if you think that the new construction route may be worth exploring for you! 🤳👩‍💼🏠🏠 #sofreshandsoclean #moveinready #newconstruction #newbuild #newhomes #homebuyer #SCrealestate #SCrealestateagent

Highlight Moments in Real Estate: Getting to watch two different sides of a deal walk away bettering their lives, someway, somehow. Their facial reactions after closing are my favorite part 😄 o The Buyer: Gets to have a place of their own, a place to call home (Face = Excitement! 😃 🔑) o The Seller: Ability to release a heavy load off their shoulders and move forward with a lighter (typically more positive) outlook toward the future (Face = Relief 😅 😌) • With that said, we are SOOO elated to have helped these special clients of ours SELL their last home of 2, so they can finally enjoy making memories in their recent new home (which we have been honored to help them find as well! 😏) All in God's timing... With faith and perseverance, the future is always bright. 🙏🏼 • For future and current buyers, can't stress enough how this is such a GREAT time to buy especially if you're planning to finance your home. Interest rates are knocking low 3%'s (they used to be 12% not too long ago fyi) and down payment assistance opportunities are available especially for first time home buyers! • For future sellers, my piece of advice: LIST IT, don't RESIST IT. If you're afraid to put your home on the market due to the concerns of COVID, just know market inventory is actually LOW and with us, your home is likely to sell quicker than you realize! If you or a friend are planning to purchase/sell in the near future, DM us!

My dogs do this amazing thing where they just exist and make my whole life better because of it. ❤🐕 • More and more, I'm finding that home buyers are shaping their top home preferences around their needs AND their pet's needs.

Many people may think they don't need one to buy a new home because it's, well "new," but there are more factors and variables to this process than you think. Real estate agents will work on your behalf to make sure you are fully represented, will protect your best interests, and ensure you purchase that freshy fresh, high-quality home you deserve. 👌👩‍💼🏠 #newhomes #newbuilthomes #newconstruction #realestateagent #buyersagent

First attempt at drawing my client's new home! 🏠 Pretty proud of this piece, even if my only medium was an old graphite golf pencil...✏⛳💁‍♀️ • The backstory behind this piece is simple: I tried to order a painting of the home from a more professional artist but she was so backed up by other orders, there was no way it would have been completed by the closing date. So I took it upon myself to re-kindle my middle school art skills and creativity and try to finish the piece myself. 🎨 • And so here it is... WAYYY past the closing date but nonetheless, it brings me so much joy that I could restore my creative sense again and personally do something nice for these clients of mine (and possibly all future clients?) 😄 • What do you all think? • #restoreyourcreativity #lovewhatyoudo #realestatestuff #realestatefun #relationshipsovertransactions #screalestate #screalestateagent #columbiarealestate #hobbies #firsttimehomebuyer #buyingahome #loveyouragent #loveyourclients

Today's interest rates: ~3.66%. 👀 *"Alexa, play 'Get Low' by Flo Rida"* • Knowing this, here's a snapshot in time at how rates have changed over the past few decades. • Comparatively, today's rates are pretty dang low! • According to Freddie Mac, rates are projected to increase to 3.9% by this time next year (still not bad). • Why does this matter? Well the impact your interest rate has on your monthly mortgage payment can be significant. A mere increase of just $20 dollars in your monthly payment can add up to $240 per year and $7,200 over the life of your loan. • So perhaps not a bad idea to lock in now, while rates are still historically low.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ • If not now, what might be holding YOU back from buying your own home today?? I'd love to hear your situation and see how I can help! --> Message me anytime! 😊 #lowinterestrates #reasonstobuy #lockinyourrates #firsttimehomebuyer #homebuyer #realestateagent #SCrealestate

Hey future home buyers! I was just thinking about what kind of questions that might be running through your minds about the home buying process and then the obvious hit me: "What's the first big step I need to take?" Answer: Get Pre-Approved. Simply put (unless you're paying in cash) figure out HOW MUCH lenders will be willing to loan you based on your credit history. Hope this video helps sum it up!

If you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of 2D version of lil ole me on a van. 👀 - Newsflash for those who didn't know already: I'm a golfer. ⛳🏌️‍♀️ - I've lived and breathed golf for most of my adolescence and young adulthood and many have personally identified me with this sport. "Oh, Nicole, the golfer?"..."This is my friend, Nicole. She plays golf"..."Most likely to be on the LPGA tour superlative"... 'gives me golf balls for birthday' -- You get the gist.🙄 - After a while, it started to get old and I wished people would connect with me in different ways. Not just because 'I played golf.' But because of who I was. - But once I started my collegiate golf career, my entire attitude completely changed. There are a lot of ways to describe my college golf experiece but there's one that embodies it most for me: Sheer gratitude. 🙏 - I'm grateful for the extraordinary lessons I've learned, the people I've met and especially those who have enabled me to have this unique experience, the perspectives I've gained, and the person I've become. #conquerandprevail am I right? - - Making that last putt of my career on that final tourney day, I knew I was already gonna miss everything about this experience: the fiery competition, early morning workouts, supportive golf community, the nerves and excitement of hitting that first shot of the tournament. 😭 - - So seeing myself plastered on Wofford's travel van that was once used to transport our crazy golf team to and from tournaments all across the east coast brings back a wave of memories and nostalgia; highlighting that sense of gratitude I have for this sport and everything that comes with it. I am proud to be identified as a golfer. It is and will always be a part of who I am. - - If you have a knack for golf or would like to learn, connect with me and let's maybe play a round together or I can even show you some tips and tricks under my sleeve to help you improve your game! 😊

Thank you oh busted pipe for flooding our floors (2x) and allowing us to build our dream kitchen #2yearslater 😍 Can anyone relate to this?? - Swipe to see the progression of the latest updates to our kitchen remodel and how simple additions to a room can make a big difference! *Creds to my mother's SUPERB design skills & expertise.👌😏 - Changes so far include: A splash of "divinity white" cabinets and "white/gray" granite countertops have been added to lighten up the kitchen space while keeping its cozy feel. New linen grey, ceramic tiles installed to replace our old laminate floors. - Still planning for that next step of the process. Maybe put in a patterned backsplash? Chic hanging lights? Floating cabinet space?... Follow along to see what's coming up and soon, the final product! - #ilovemykitchen #kitchenremodel #kitchenrenovations #houseremodel #kitchenandbathdesign #kitchendesign #kitchentransformation #modernkitchen #kitchenupgrades #kitchenimprovements #dreamkitchen #dreamhome #housepets #bustedpipeprobs

Sometimes we like to dress up... the other 99% of the time you'll find us in slacks, sweatpants, workout clothes, or all of the above 🤷‍♀️ - Good food, good company, and really great dancing! Love being reminded of this beautiful culture I get to be a part of. Proud of my Filipino roots 😍 🇵🇭 - Which cultures do you admire most?? - #FilipinoFamBam #Philippines #Filipinoculture #2019FilipinoAmericanGala #FilipinoAmericanAssociationofGreaterColumbia #realestateteam #momanddaughterduo

Happy Sunday everyone!! Fun fact: Did you know 33% of millennials decide to buy a home because of their dog? 🐕🐾 - Meet Tillie: the Queen B of the Chin household. Tillie likes long naps on the couch, unapologetically stuffing herself in bags of all sizes, and caring for her favorite pineapple toy like her own pup. 🍍 - Always curious, always happy, always seeking my love and attention... Tillie's youthful, carefree self reminds me of that of a small child, as all of us once were. Which has inspired me on the following thought on compassion that hopefully resonates with you guys too: - Okay, so finding compassion for yourself or someone else who did something so awful to you can be extremely difficult. But in the long run, it's truly the only way to start the real healing. - One trick that's helped me do this is to imagine that person you're resentful of as just a little kid, not knowing what they do but doing the best they can to protect themselves and attempting to deal with their own suffering in the only way they know how. People act poorly because they're in pain or confused or both. Understanding this, and imagining the person who's hurt you as a sweet little innocent child with big puppy dog eyes, may help you feel compassion for them, which is KEY to forgiveness. - And same goes for anything you feel you need to forgive YOURSELF about. You too are just a little puppy, curious, love-seeking and trying to work it all out. So find compassion for your sweet little, sippy cup self and let it all go. 👶🐶😊 - I challenge you to ask yourself this... Who in your life do you need to find compassion for?? - #compassion #love #loveyourself #loveyou #dailyinspiration #inspiration #sundayvibes #sundaythoughts #motivation #encouragement #doglife #puppy #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglovers #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestatelife #realestate

Something about the sheer feeling of hitting a golf ball as hard and pure as possible brings about a wave of relief and contentment. 👌 - It's important to find something that helps you release the stress; something that's simply fun and carefree, because we need to smile every once in a while in this one life we live 😊☝️ - I really want to know-- What's something that helps you guys de-stress?? - @kazebeat always makes me look cooler than I actually am. 😎
