So many people are not from this area and don't have the luxury of renting for leisure while searching for a home or second home.
When here, the homes sell out in hours or days and while you do your best to calculate all the angles, you cannot account for every crime stat, every weather condition, for every landmark or roadway.
If these homes sold like most of us are used to seeing in our lives, you take a flyer, mull over a purchase for a week, and in many cases still get the house (maybe with a stiffer offer in some cases). Right now, a house goes on the market, and by the end of the day 7 people have a hold to buy the house at the exact price asked.
None of this excuses a person's due diligence and the simple fact you can always walk away. But, there are factors that the average life-style visitor doesn't take into account -- I think the whole point of the lifestyle visit is to amp the emotions for an impulse buy.

I do live close to sumter landing. No immediate access, Sable Chase, Virginia trace etc.
People spending so much money should do their homework. MOST DO NOT.
