The Sweeten Group @ RE/MAX At The Lake has been making waves in the Columbia real estate community for the last 13 years. This year, not only did the group break personal records with $7 million in sales in the month of May alone and an average price point of $720,800 for the month of June—founder Kate Sweeten was named to the RE/MAX 40 under 40 North America list for the fourth consecutive time. These numbers speak for themselves, but they don’t convey the personalized effort and attention Kate and her team deliver their clients.
Whether you’re buying or selling your home this season, you want a trusted agent on your side. Kate Sweeten respects and cares about your home just as you do— she understands that this decision is far more than a transaction. Her average days on market is eight days, her listings sell for over 100% of list price on average, and she stages all of her listings for free to command top dollar. Kate and the rest of The Sweeten Group are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process.
A snapshot of the Midlands real estate market:
- Houses are selling for $340,000 on average, which is 4% higher than last year’s average price.
- If you’re looking to sell, be prepared for your house to spend slightly more time on the market. It’s now taking 38 days for a home to sell, versus a 35-day average in June of 2023.
- Midlands residents are choosing to keep their homes for longer: this year’s number of new listings is down 16.52% from this time last year.
- Things are looking up for buyers! This year only 26.4% of homes are selling for more than list price. In June of 2023, over 33% of listings were selling above list price.*All calculations are based on the CMLS data from June 2023 and June 2024 for Richland and Lexington Counties.
