About Us
New Dwellings Development Group LLC is a mission-driven real estate development company based in South Carolina. We develop and sell quality attainable homes for workforce and low-to-moderate income households, people earning $34,000 to $65,000 annually who are locked out of the conventional housing market. We have operated in the Columbia market for over five years, hold real property in the city, and are actively developing our next phase of attainable homeownership opportunities across select South Carolina counties.
Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to stop renting, a single parent looking for a stable place to put down roots, or a workforce earner who has been told the market isn't built for you, we're here to change that. Our team works alongside trusted South Carolina mortgage partners and local lenders to connect buyers with financing pathways that actually work for workforce incomes, including FHA loans, SC Housing programs, and credit union options that expand access to earners as low as $34,000 annually. We make the process simple so you can focus on what matters: getting into a home you own.
Our Why
South Carolina's working families are being priced out of the state they built.
In Columbia, the median home price has climbed to around $265,000 , while the city's median household income sits just over $30,000. Teachers, nurses, tradespeople, veterans, and single parents are earning real wages and still can't qualify for a mortgage on a new home. Not because they aren't working hard enough. Because nobody is building for them.
Forty-five miles south in Orangeburg, where nearly three in four residents are Black and the median household income is under $39,000, fewer than half of all residents own their home. Nearly a third of families live in poverty. In a community this underserved, every year spent renting instead of owning is another year of wealth that will never be built and never be passed down.
This is the gap New Dwellings exists to close.
We don't believe the market is broken by accident. Developers build upmarket because that's where the margins are. Nobody builds the $150,000 home because the system isn't designed to reward it. We built New Dwellings to change that math, to prove that you can develop quality, attainable homes for workforce earners in South Carolina's underserved communities and make it work financially.
Homeownership is the most reliable wealth-building tool available to working families. The only thing standing between most South Carolina workforce earners and a home they own is a developer willing to build at the right price point.
That's us. We build the homes the market won't.
