If you've got a condo to sell, the plethora of units on the market in many Low Country cities can make it a bit more difficult to get the word out. According to Roy Hill of the Coastal Real Estate Group, "Condos at the beach and near the College of Charleston are selling well, but in suburban areas they're staying on the market longer. Quality developments in communities in and around historic areas continue to be desirable to many buyers, so those units move faster than ones in outlying areas." In Savannah, a recent spate of building has led to longer days on the market, with two-bedroom/two-bath condos selling after an average of 195 days, and higher-end units lingering as long as a year. In this competitive atmosphere, getting your condo seen by as many potential buyers as possible is paramount. Ron Melander, a successful agent at Cora Bett Thomas Realty in Savannah, agrees. "With so much competition," he says, "lately I've added financial incentives for buyers or buyers' agents as a way to attract interest in my listings. I'm also focusing much more on internet-based marketing than print publications these days. Advertising on sites like SavannahLoftsandCondos.com drives quite a bit of traffic to my own website and to my broker's site as well. It's another great tool to have in my marketing toolbox."

Dicky Mopper, broker/owner of Mopper-Stapen Realtors knows the challenges and benefits of dealing with today's condo craze. "Mopper-Stapen completed Savannah's first condo conversion in the 1970's", states Mopper. "I guess that makes us the condo veterans in Savannah." Mopper is confident that Savannah will continue to have a future in condo sales. "Our newest location - THE CONDO PLACE, located at 102 West Liberty Street focuses on the strong presence condominiums have in Savannah real estate. Our marketing efforts can be targeted to reach the potential sellers, buyers and investors of condominiums and SavannahLoftsandCondos.com is part of that targeted marketing. By taking the time to understand the value and impact conversions have on an urban setting, Mopper-Stapen is highly successful in this exciting and diverse market segment."
