South Carolina is having a tax holiday this weekend, which is a great way to save on all types of school supplies, clothing, shoes, and electronics. For the full list of tax-free or tax-discounted items, click here. If you want to continue the savings, why not check out a home in South Carolina for lower property taxes. You can get more home for your money if your monthly tax payment is lower and there are great schools to boot. It’s not too late to get in on one of these homes before the school year starts.
One neighborhood you should check out if you are thinking about South Carolina is English Trails. Homes in English Trails have open floor plans and lots of storage. There is a wide variety of lot sizes to suit your needs. Some have small, easy to maintain yards, while others on the cul-de-sacs have yards as large as an acre so you have plenty of space.
Homes here also have between 3 and 5 bedrooms to accommodate any size family, or to provide home offices if that’s what you need. Closets are generous and kitchens have lots of cabinet space and plenty of counters for prep or entertaining. Many homes have decks, patios, or other outdoor living space to take advantage of the fantastic weather. Some homes even have basements for additional living space like a basement apartment or media room or just a man cave.
Most homes in English Trails average between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet and over the last year have sold for between $200,000 and $280,000. With the Federal Reserve deciding not to raise interest rates again, this is a great time to lock in on a lower cost mortgage too.
English Trails is currently zoned for Springfield Elementary School, Springfield Middle School and Nation Ford High School. Please note that school assignments do change sometimes so be sure to check with the school district to be sure of the assignments.
As of August 4th, there are three homes on the market in English Trails. Two of the homes are under contract. They range in price from $264,900 for a 3 bedroom, 2 full-bath, 1 half bath with 2,605 square feet and .17 acres to $319,500 for a 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home with 3,426 square feet and .93 acre lot.
