In April, the number of pending sales (homes that have gone under contract) are broken down into their price ranges:
Total of 281 homes in April went under contract! March's number of pendings was only 126!
$0-$100k- 107 homes
$100,001-$200k- 106 homes
$200,001-$300k- 36 homes
$300,001-$400k- 19 homes
$400,001-$500k- 6 homes
$500,001 and above: 5 homes
May's numbers so far are encouraging! Current number of pendings for homes under $200k will surpass April's numbers if they continue on their current pace!
**So far, there are 5 pending homes in the $300k-$400k price range and 2 May pendings in the over $500k price range! Sales of the higher priced homes are starting to increase, which is a key indicator of the security of buyers!
Recording artist Prince is making a $250,000 donation to a nonprofit group that aims to make sure all children in a Columbia neighborhood graduate from college.
Prince's drummer and Columbia native John Blackwell Jr. made the presentation Tuesday to Eau Claire Promise Zone officials.
The 501c3 Eau Claire Promise Zone is a 12-neighborhood area that is part of the nationwide "Promise Neighborhoods" movement, modeled after the work of Geoffrey Canada and his Harlem Children's Zone.
Prince and the New Power Generation performed shows in Columbia, Charleston and Greenville last month.
