Why this matters for West Ashley sellers
If you own near Avondale, your listing copy and showing narrative should name this. Buyers from out of state picture a neighborhood with momentum, not just a cute strip. Know who your buyer is — likely a transplant or a downsizer who wants to walk to dinner — and price for how they'll use it.
