Hopefully, all of y’all around Lake Keowee were able to get out and vote yesterday. We took the early route to avoid the lines, etc. Must say that is much easier! Isn’t it an unmitigated blessing to live in a country where you have freedom of speech and the right to vote for folks you want to lead?
With the election and the change in the weather we’ve seen a drop in activity. We do expect things to pick up once the midterms are decided, but as we are descending into winter, they probably won’t too much. The good news is there are still plenty of buyers in the market looking for that perfect Lake Keowee home or lot and there are fewer sellers putting their homes or land on the market. That creates an opportunity for you! Less competition means it’s easier for your property to shine. Let’s talk it through!
We’ll be closing a couple of million in Lake Keowee waterfront real estate next week. Looking forward to getting those folks dreams achieved! You’re next so get ready!

Tips for the best deals
Now that you know a little more about mortgages and where they come from, I’ll share with you my tips for getting the best deal and saving yourself a lot of headaches in the process.
Lock in a Rate (or NOT): IN the time it takes you to find a home and close your mortgage, the interest rate on your loan could fluctuate upward. If it looks like rates are heading up, lock it in. If rates appear to be falling, let it float. If your lender agrees to a lock, make sure you get it in writing. (Get the advice of your Realtor or your mortgage broker. Their knowledge and experience can really help you in the decision.)
