Lake Keowee Real Estate Expert Blog Rain Go Away!

So it looks like it’s going to rain around Lake Keowee tonight…again. For a while there looked like we’d never see the sun again as we endured 5 days in a row of rain on Lake Keowee. I’m guessing somehow we needed it, but the mud at the mail box says not that much (that’s a new one, feel free to use it with your friends). The good news is the lake levels are high and the sun finally came out for a day before running away again (apparently to the place where elephants go to die because nobody can find it) this afternoon. The weekend looks crystal clear, albeit a bit on the chilly side. May not want to get the Jet Ski out to tool around Keowee just yet (heck, why not – just wear a wet suit. 51 degrees is not that cold when you’re wet in the wind. Or is it?).

How’s business? Great! We keep plunging forward, listing a property and putting it under contract. We were able to put 2 waterfront lots under contract this week and closed 7 lots sides and 2 house sides for a total volume of just shy of $2.5M. That’s a fantastic week for February, in fact for any week of the year!

I’d like to say we’ll keep up that torrid pace throughout the year, but we have a problem. We are low on inventory. So, help us out? Maybe list your Lake Keowee property with us and tell your fellow lake property owners to do likewise? We’ll make it real easy and get you a hefty chunk of change in your pocket ASAP!

Squeezing Every Last Dollar From Your Home Sale

Making the best second impression

Now let’s take a closer look at improvements on a room-by-room basis, starting with your two most important rooms.

Trends to watch

Another relatively new wrinkle is the home office. With more home-based businesses and more companies allowing employees to telecommute, more people are looking for office-ready space in their homes. A recent survey conducted by Guilder magazine found that nearly a third of buyers in their 20s, 30s and 40s plan to use a room as a home office. Other rooms that are showing up on more buyers’ wish lists are exercise and media rooms.
