Top Guns Realty

Things have been hopping here at Lake Keowee real estate experts Mike and Matt Roach’s office. We’ve been able to add a couple of great listings back to the market, 236 Joe Jen & 308 Treetops, and are working on several more. Also, we’ve put two houses and 2 lots under contract. That’s more than $8M in Lake Keowee real estate in little more than a week! On the days it’s warm enough for the moss to grow under our feet, that ain’t happening.

I’ll bet you’re dying to know how our week went. Well, not that exciting though we did put a Lake Keowee waterfront property under contract AND we’re getting a Lake Keowee waterfront house to sell…I take that back that is exciting! The percentage of folks actively pursuing purchase or sale of Keowee property this time of year is certainly lower and won’t perk up significantly until the March/April time frame BUT now is a great time to be shopping for that Keowee property for this very reason! The field is less crowded, just like shopping for Christmas presents in September.

Let’s get to Lake Keowee business! With the cold comes fewer folks getting on the water and looking for Lake Keowee homes. The key word in that sentence is fewer…not “none”, because here are still plenty of folks looking for the right kind of Lake Keowee property. We were able to put a Cliffs Falls listing under contract over the past few days adding yet another listing on its way to being sold for 2025.

We’ll be bringing on 3 houses here shortly that should see quite a bit of quick interest. Can’t wait to share them with you ASAP! As to be expected this time of year, activity remains strong though we are starting to see higher inventory levels in certain segments of the market. You buyers have much more to choose from, which is nice to say the least. So come out and get to choosing. Summer is in full swing, but you still have time to buy and close so you can enjoy it!

We were able to close a Lake Keowee interior property this week as well as add a listing that we quickly put under contract. That amount of activity makes for a good week, though we are always looking for great. Buyers are looking in earnest with the goal of getting into that Lake Keowee home around the July 4th holiday. You could help them out by putting your Lake Keowee home or lot on the market (with us of course).

It’s party time around Lake Keowee as folks begin to get out on the water in earnest. Expect this week to be one of the last on the cooler side and prepare yourself for Summer 2025! It should be an interesting one!

Key to that equation is you guys listing your property with us. The ones of you whose situations have changed, kids have moved, etc. Why not take advantage of this continued seller’s market and get some cash in your pocket. You never know what new opportunities could spring up!

Business keeps on business-ing as we were able to close a $715,000 Lake Keowee waterfront lot this week and visit with a few folks about listing their property soon. As we all know (I know you know) now is the time of year to get your Lake Keowee property on the market. Most buyers want to be in their dream Lake Keowee property before the end of July. If you run all the numbers, you’ll figure out that if you listed your property tomorrow, the best-case scenario would probably be closing by early June. So, the next 30-45 days are a critical time to get your property on the market if you want to get the most eyes on it.

The one we listed is one we sold leaving the market with a total of 5 Lake Keowee waterfront lots available that have covered docks. That’s far too few. You need to sell your lot, make lots of money, sit on that money for a while and let it grow, then buy another Lake Keowee lot from us in the future – build a house on that Lake Keowee waterfront lot, live in it for a while….wash, rinse, repeat…you get the idea!

You may have noticed that the stock market is on a bit of a wild ride. Did that maybe make you think there could be a recession on the horizon? I can promise you this, it may not happen this month, but it will happen eventually. Maybe it’s time for you to take advantage of prices being at all-time highs by putting your Lake Keowee real estate on the market. Why not let us look for/with you at where your current value sits? How much time are you going to spend at the lake this year? Is it time to give someone else a shot at our incredible Lake Keowee?
