How much does it cost per square foot to build? E-mail

In our industry today the most commonly asked question by prospective clients is, “How much per square foot does it cost to build a home?” Many builders advertise and promote their companies by publishing a cost per square foot price, with each company trying to outdo the next with lower figures. Lower prices per square foot don’t necessarily mean better value. In the past, many professional quality home builders incorporated quality and value oriented products in their homes to provide sustainability and customer value. Nowadays many of those considerations by builders are being replaced by the objective of lowering initial costs while minimizing considerations of long-term value and sustainability. Obviously, the first question is what constitutes a square foot price.......

Household Mold Tips E-mail

The growth of mold is common in Southern climates and can occur anywhere and typically appears as a black/gray, yellow, or green growth.   Mildew is a fungus that spreads as microscopic spores are carried by the wind. When the spores land on a surface, they feed either on the surface itself or on organic airborne dirt and pollen that has accumulated on the surface.  The growth of mildew/mold is encouraged by moisture, warmth, lack of air circulation and organic nutrients, and darkness. (North elevations of buildings are susceptible in particular.)  Since the spores travel through the air, their behavior tends to be erratic. During rainy periods, the mildew can appear on previously unaffected  areas.

Market Update 2012 E-mail

Last year was the beginning of an upward trend in new home construction.  Our area was the "Bright spot" in an otherwise stagnant South Carolina.  In 2011 real estate was seen as a stable alternative to the uncertainty of the stock market.  We expect this trend to continue in 2012. Mortgage rates and construction cost remain at historic lows.  New lot foreclosures continue to come on the market at drastically reduced prices.

It is indeed a great time to build your new home in the Lowcountry.  Tired of uncertainty, tired of waiting to make the Lowcountry your home, consider an investment in a new home and McNair as your builder.

Foreclosed homes have brought the Lowcountry home prices unseen in a decade.  The best of these homes were purchased quickly, leaving a less than ideal remaining inventory.  Neglect by previous owners, no warranties, bought in "as is" condition have dampened the enthusiasm for these homes.

In the midst of these speculative misfortunes, a wonderful alternative has arisen, the foreclosed home site.  These lots are selling for a fraction of the 2006 prices.Many people bought home sites as investments and are not emotionally tied to their purchase.They simply want to cut their losses and get out of lot ownership.
