Consistently ranked as one of the top 20 retirement communities in the United States, more homes and condominium sales than ever before are occurring. The Aiken real estate market is experiencing explosive growth in residential, equestrian, and polo properties. This locale has historically been known for its equestrian and polo activities.
Because this area has a wealth of available real estate and land at attractive prices, and prices on the east coast and Florida have risen sharply, we have been experiencing unprecedented growth in residential and equestrian properties. For this reason appreciation rates have been running in the double digits.
