With the recent uptick in real estate sales, especially in the commercial sector, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the local real estate market overall. The realtors, builders and bankers I speak with frequently have strong indications that we are about to see a bit of a boom again in the market. I reached out to local realtor Michelle Rushing, who is also the current president of the Statesboro Board of Realtors, for statistical information to back up what we are seeing happen in the market.
