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.

We’ve been chugging along through the winter, side stepping the ice and snowstorms with some alacrity whilst also putting some Lake Keowee waterfront homes on the market. 236 Joe Jen is a special home with over 12 acres of property, two covered docks in place (with potential for more) and less than 10 minutes from the hospital and downtown Seneca. 308 Treetops Dr. is a spectacular home in one of the most sought-after communities on Keowee – Waterford Pointe.

Year over year, there were fewer Lake Keowee waterfront lots sold. 95 in 24 and 86 in 25. BUT the average sales price went up by around $84K. $615,569 in 24 vs. $701K in 25. The inventory of lots by the end of 2025 was very low and as we start 2026 it remains that way. As for houses, we went from 171 sold in 2024 to 192 sold in 2025 AND the average value of the homes went up by $51K. 2024 $1,995K vs 2025 $2,006K. Taking Top Guns Realty, Mike and Matt Roach out of the whole, we were able to sell more units and an additional $5M in volume year over year.

Day away from 2026! Around Lake Keowee we will be celebrating with a jacket and a warm cup of something as the temperatures are coming off of that week of spring like weather

Slower weeks this time of year allow more opportunities for us to go over advertising, marketing systems, etc. We’re ever striving to create as many eyes as possible on our listings as well as getting as many people as possible to look at them in person. We’re also working hard to create buyer leads for other listings out there. It’s amazing how far we’ve come in 37 years. We were selling real estate on Lake Keowee when there was still such a thing as an actual printed multiple listing book. Yea, we’ve seen a lot of change while doing thousands of real estate transactions.

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).

We did get us a Lake Keowee waterfront lot closed last week. Always good news to have some activity. There are currently 11 Lake Keowee houses under contract and 5 Lake Keowee lots under contract. We currently have 1 Lake Keowee waterfront side, and 3 Lake Keowee interior lot sides on our board to close. That’s not too bad for November in an election year but can always be better.

We’ve had another good week closing on over a million dollars in Lake Keowee real estate, locking down a new Keowee Key listing and meeting some folks to talk about listing their house in the morning. We’ve got a couple of good Lake Keowee waterfront lot tours scheduled, as well. Before too much longer it’ll be cold for realz and activity will slow (fo reel fo reel).

Tough Labor Day Weekend for the Clemson, Florida State and Virginia Tech fans around Lake Keowee. You Georgia fans are feeling frisky again, congratulations your team looked dominate on the field. Hopefully, Clemson will get another chance in a couple of months. You just never know. What does this have to do with Lake Keowee real estate? Nothing really, just put me in a bad mood and I’ve got to talk about it with somebody.

All we know for certain is that we’ve added some great listings over the past week and plan to get some of those buyers in the doors and put their boots on the ground. Check out 199 Luther Land Rd., 302 Meadowlark Lane and Lot 30 Harborside. We are hopeful we can get these under contract quickly. If you know anybody who may have interest, pass those links along or simply have them give us a call. We also have a few million more in real estate to close before the end of August. 2024 is too early to call, let’s see what the 4th quarter has to offer.
