Listing remarks MLS

There are multiple offers on this home. The deadline to submit your highest and best offer is Monday, April 20th at 11:00A. M. EST. 125 Court Drive with the sweetest southern covered front porch that welcomes you inside! Framed by mature trees and blue shutters on a corner lot, this single story home delivers the kind of unhurried, come-home-and-exhale living that's hard to find at this price point. Inside, the living room pulls you into the heart of the home — a generous 17x21 space with hardwood floors, a full brick fireplace with wood mantel, and natural light quickly attracts you to this space. The layout flows naturally into the kitchen and dining area, where butcher block countertops, white cabinetry with matte black hardware, and all-new stainless steel appliances give the space a beautiful finish that feels considered rather than overly trendy. A peninsula island adds prep space and a casual place to land, and the dining nook tucked into the corner windows makes this feel more like a home than a house. The primary suite sits on its own side of the floor plan with a walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms — both with solid square footage for a home this size — share the opposite wing with a full bath. A dedicated foyer creates a real entry rather than walking straight into the living space, which is a detail that matters more than most buyers expect until they live without it. Out back, a deck off the main living area and a separate storage building give you functional outdoor space that homes in this range routinely skip. The corner lot means more yard on two sides with a bit more space between neighbors. Location works hard here. Court Drive puts you minutes from Easley's main retail corridor, a short drive to I-85 for commuters heading toward Greenville or Anderson, and within easy reach of Clemson. Major medical is nearby for your healthcare needs and the area's largest lakes are nearby for your fun! And if you're a "no HOA" person. .. you'll love that this home is NOT in a restricted community with fees!

Key facts

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 3-bed/3.0-bath single-family listed at $250k.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $-62 ($-745/yr) — negative.
• To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $241k (3.6% below list).
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $211k (15.7% below list).
• Recommended offer: $211k (15.7% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
• Cap rate 6.0% vs local median 4.0% in Easley — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

• Location reads 71/100 on livability (#47 in SC) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities D, commute F.
• Pickens 01 (rural): math 42% / reading 50% proficiency, ranked #21 of 80 in SC (top 26%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
• Zoned schools: Forest Acres Elementary (math 58% / reading 55%, grade C+, #108 of 597 statewide, top 18%, 710 students, 55% FRL).
• Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+5.3%/yr); 315 active listings in the ZIP; 3 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 24d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); solid renter incomes; 1,440 units permitted in Pickens County in 2024 (245 in 5+ unit buildings).
• This rent runs 32% of the median local income ($78k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $8k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Pickens County population projected at +6% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.

Negotiation context

• Only 3 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
• 4 sale attempts since 11y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.

Risks & watch-outs

• Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→17/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.

Recommended offer $210,837 (15.7% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

1. What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
2. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
3. Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
4. The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
5. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
6. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
7. How much new for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
