Now that the excitement has subsided, what is everyone with a mouthpiece going to yammer endlessly about? The event that for months we have been inundated with has subsided. But with all of the Lake Keowee Real Estate business we’ve been attending to along with school starting up it kind of snuck up on us. If you don’t know what event to which I am referring, what rock have you been living under?

I speak, of course, of the eclipse and how our area was descended upon and totally ensconced with nearly one million extra folks in South Carolina. Duke Power had a large gathering at the World of Energy with folks showing up before 7am to get a choice spot. Close to the time of the event there were literally thousands parked along Highway 11, in gas station parking lots, on rooftops, out on the lake in boats…virtually everywhere! The cool thing for us was all we needed do was step out onto our office’s front porch for a perfect view of the spectacle. And we did, we even made a video! (Shocker, I know) You can watch below:

As for business, we have been able to put a Cliffs Springs lot under contract and are still working on three more lots and a house. A bit slower with new listings but we are in the process of adding another. Being the first week of school (and the eclipse) things do feel a tad bit slower. Hopefully business will be as good as last fall and winter. Who am I kidding, of course it will be!
