Will it or won’t it? A bit of snow and ice around Lake Keowee can bring things to a screeching halt as many of us don’t know how to handle the stuff. Should I get bread and milk now or wait to see if it actually snows. Dilemmas. It’s also difficult to take folks around to view Lake Keowee properties, inevitably leading to fewer sales during the big event (that will be on the ground for about 3 days).
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).
We are hopeful that 2026 will be another banner year though there are certainly some pressures being applied to the Lake Keowee market. We always have pressures, and stuff always sells. The real question is how much of each. Tell us that and we’ll have a much better forecast!
You can help us do more of what we do. List your Lake Keowee real estate with us (and our 36 years of experience – 70 years combined). We’ll help lessen the blow of leaving ownership on Lake Keowee behind by making sure your pockets are full!
A Simple Guide to Help Avoid Overpaying For Your Home.
Simply put, paying too much can jeopardize the integrity of your investment. Here’s vital information to help you avoid overpaying for your home.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an old pro at the real estate game, buying a home can be a daunting process. It’s an emotional time filled with difficult choices – and each decision you make has money riding on it.
Finding the right home to meet your family’s needs is hard enough. But knowing how to avoid paying too much for that home once you’ve found it is another job entirely.
As someone who has helped countless buyers find their dream homes and save money at the same time, I’ve developed this guide to help you avoid the pitfalls inherent in the home-buying process. I’ll show you not only how to make sure you’ve found the right home, but also how to negotiate a price to your advantage.
In today’s complex, fast-paced market, you can’t afford to learn these lessons through trial and error. The tips contained in this report will go a long way toward making you a savvy buyer.
Tip #11 Not all fixer-uppers are good buys.
You may be the sort of person who looks at a home in need of significant work as a challenge and an opportunity to make money. Many people have bought fixer-uppers at below-market rates, invested a little sweat equity or more than a little money on renovation, then eventually put it back on the market at a profit.
But if it isn’t priced low enough, you won’t recoup your investment of time, trouble and expense. Before you proceed, do a careful evaluation of what you’ll have to invest and consult with your Realtor to learn what you can reasonably expect to make when you put the home back on the market. And be sure to include the unexpected – there’s no such thing as a “sure thing.”
