We’ve been chugging along through the winter, side stepping the ice and snowstorms with some alacrity whilst also putting some Lake Keowee waterfront homes on the market. 236 Joe Jen is a special home with over 12 acres of property, two covered docks in place (with potential for more) and less than 10 minutes from the hospital and downtown Seneca. 308 Treetops Dr. is a spectacular home in one of the most sought-after communities on Keowee – Waterford Pointe.

The Ultimate Guide to Lakefront Property in South Carolina: What Every Buyer Needs to Know After fifteen years selling waterfront properties across South Carolina, I’ve helped hundreds of families find their perfect lakefront retreat.

The winter season is still chugging along as well as we’ve been able to put another Lake Keowee waterfront home on the market and get it sold over the past week. We’ll also be bringing on two additional properties here shortly. Don’t delay, it’s time to get moving!

Although it was pretty, it didn’t lead to a lot of Lake Keowee waterfront property activity. As most folks tend to shy away from looking at lake property during a snowstorm. It even delayed us getting a couple of properties on the market. We weren’t sitting on our hands, though, as the cell phone still works just fine when it snows. In real estate, you are always putting out little fires here and there

Around Lake Keowee, we bypassed the fun stuff and went straight to the un-fun stuff. Ice…it coats the trees and breaks limbs onto power lines and causes power outages. Currently our office is powerless, but fortunately we have power and internet service at home. I know how disappointed you’d be not to get this Lake Keowee real estate expert blog!

Well, the future ice/snow event hasn’t slowed us down yet as we were able to put a Lake Keowee waterfront lot under contract and are working diligently to put another tract of land under contract. We’re also putting the final touches on a couple of new listings we plan to put on the market soon (ice/snow could cause some delays there).

A good week as we were able to put a Lake Keowee waterfront home and lot under contract. That’s just shy of $2.5M in volume, we’ll take that on any winter week around Keowee regardless of the temperatures. We are also working on two new home listings we’ll be bringing on over the next few weeks. Folks are starting to think about getting their properties on the market around the March/April time frame in order to take full advantage of the spring selling season.

Year over year, there were fewer Lake Keowee waterfront lots sold. 95 in 24 and 86 in 25. BUT the average sales price went up by around $84K. $615,569 in 24 vs. $701K in 25. The inventory of lots by the end of 2025 was very low and as we start 2026 it remains that way. As for houses, we went from 171 sold in 2024 to 192 sold in 2025 AND the average value of the homes went up by $51K. 2024 $1,995K vs 2025 $2,006K. Taking Top Guns Realty, Mike and Matt Roach out of the whole, we were able to sell more units and an additional $5M in volume year over year.

Day away from 2026! Around Lake Keowee we will be celebrating with a jacket and a warm cup of something as the temperatures are coming off of that week of spring like weather
