You know you have been living in an area of semi-tropical weather for more than a few years when the temperature is 60 degrees and you think it's chilly enough for a sweater.
As someone from the northeast who used to visit Myrtle Beach, South Carolina throughout the year I can remember never putting on a sweater or jacket. Even in January, which is typically the coldest temperatures, we northerners would be out in shorts looking at those in jackets as they looked at us. Well, a few nights ago it felt like the temperature was in the 40s but it was 60 degrees.
When I heard about the record October snow that hit the northeastern states I remembered what cold weather really feels like and I will not complain again.

Buying A Foreclosure
Many of those thinking of retirement in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or anywhere are asking about foreclosed homes and condos. I always tell people to do their homework and have their own Buyer's Agent (Realtor) help in the search.
While touring a foreclosed home with my clients, who were ready for me to prepare an offer right then, I noticed a crack between the fireplace and the wall, while they were upstairs taking their third look, I went back outside to see if anything looked strange on the exterior of the fireplace and chimney. They had said they did not need a home inspection company to check the house because the husband had once built homes yet they had not noticed the crack inside or the gap between the house and chimney that none of us had noticed while looking at the exterior of the house.
My clients still did not want to pay for an inspection company since they did not know if the foreclosure purchase would go through so I provided them with the names of reputable local building contractors who would come take a look and provide a free estimate of repair costs. Turns out there was a structural problem that made a huge difference in the amount of our offer to purchase.
That house just happened to be a foreclosure but it could have happened to any home for sale so remember to have a good Agent and make your offer contingent upon a home inspection.
