Charleston-area home sales jumped 31 percent in the month of October as buyers took advantage of a temporary extension of the $8,000 federal tax credit.
According to The Post and Courier, "The 31 percent increase ranks as the largest year-over-year increase in sales since the local real estate market began bottoming out several years ago."
